Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Lewis Holtby has become the fourth Spurs player to announce his backing in manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Mousa Dembele, Brad Friedel and Sandro has already put their full support in the Portuguese manager, who has recently been put under pressure by the media, and after scoring the match-winner in yesterday’s game, Holtby has backed the boss as well.
Spurs came from 1-0 down to beat Fulham at Craven Cottage last night, and Holtby put his support in Boas after the game.
“We are sticking together,” said Holtby. “We are not discussing things that are happening outside – that is not our job.
“Our job is to get points to win games and make the fans happy. That is our main objective.
“We have to do our talking on the pitch. We were responsible for that disaster at Manchester City but the way we responded after that has been good. We have to carry on doing that.”
“He bonds us together and is very close to the team. Everyone accepts him and his way of playing football.
“There is a lot of negativity coming from outside but we are all sticking together. Bringing this bad mood into the team will not help. We are positive and we know that the season is long.
“We all stick behind the gaffer. We give our best.
“Of course we had a tough time in November but last night we got a good result at a difficult place.”
