Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood insisted his side’s display at Benfica showed they are behind him despite his criticism. The Premier League side fought for a 2-2 draw at the Estadio da Luz on Thursday, but a 5-3 aggregate defeat saw them fail to reach the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals.
Sherwood had asked for a response from his team after three straight losses, including a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea which led to him questioning their character.
But he believes the performance in Portugal was an indication that his rant post the Chelsea loss did no harm.
“It’s evident the players are on my side. My little rant has done them no harm,” Sherwood said.
“They have showed character and guts and they need to do that until the end of the season and I’m confident they will do that.”
