Igor Tudor issued a plea on Tottenham Hotspur fans not to turn on the team after they stooped to a worst-ever low in the Premier League.
Spurs were beaten 2-1 by Fulham on Sunday to make it ten straight games without a victory, equalling the most in their history.

The result leaves Tudor’s men still just four points above the top-flight relegation zone, as their misery continued.
They’ve now lost 13 games this season and are still waiting for their first win in 2026, losing their last four in a row.
It’s a dismal atmosphere all-round at Spurs at the moment, so the new boss has to try and lift things.
And despite being left enraged by his team on Sunday, Tudor continued to desperately ask fans to keep backing the players.
He told the BBC: “Not satisfied, not happy, not enough, lack of everything. Fulham was much better.
“Nothing, nothing… focus on work tomorrow and watching how to progress, how to do better things.
“The substitutes came in a good way, the second half we finished good, unfortunately it was not enough.”
When asked what his message to the Spurs fans was post-match, Tudor then said: “Stay with us.”
Spurs will next be in action in front of their supporters on Thursday evening against Crystal Palace.
They then travel to Madrid to face Atletico in the Champions League last 16, which is their only real positive of the season so far.

What else did Tudor say?
Speaking to talkSPORT after Spurs lost to Fulham, Tudor admitted: “We are in a very complicated situation. To explain, I will need to go more inside, the things that I don’t want to share.
“So outside the things we have, we discuss in the dressing room, we need to stay humble as I said, keep working all together, take responsibility each of us and going day by day.”
He was then asked if he was seeing enough to convince him Spurs can get out of relegation trouble.
To which he replied: “As I said, it’s a complicated situation.”
Tudor also told Sky Sports whether he is thinking about potentially going down this season, saying: “We are just thinking about the next game. We don’t need to think about that.
“Not because it cannot happen, but we must focus on growing mentality as a team, concentration, physically. These are the only goals we must have.”

Unwanted achievement
With defeat on Sunday, Tudor became just the second Spurs manager to lose both of their first two Premier League games.
He emulates Martin Jol, who lost his first three in 2004.
The Croatian was brought in to try and save the north London side after a nightmare tenure for Thomas Frank.
However, things have continued in the way they were under Frank, leaving the club in major danger of the drop.
A north London derby thumping at the hands of Arsenal led into the loss at another London rival in Fulham.
Will they end their losing streak against Palace on Thursday?
