Pierre Emile Hojbjerg gave another honest interview after Tottenham's defeat to Manchester United on Saturday as pressure grows on Spurs boss Nuno Espírito Santo.

Reading what Pierre has said, he seems to be hinting some players have downed tools because they don’t want to play for Nuno. As he says its not the manager they are playing for but the club and the fans.

His disappointment at what he is surrounded by is all too clear to see.
Yeah the head shake and face he pulls before answering the Kane/Son situation was interesting. Cuts a very frustrated figure.

Sounds like a few players want Kane gone.
I'm hesitant to suggest I know exactly what Hojbjerg is feeling but what I do know is that if I was a player on that squad, I'd feel extremely disrespected and I'd be looking forward to seeing the back of him. I knew not selling him would leave a dark cloud over the club this summer, I think most of us did.

I had thought Kane might have had the character to knuckle down like Luca Modric did. How wrong was I. He is gutless, unprofessional and does not give a monkeys about anyone but himself. His performances have been disgraceful. That is the reason he has never won a trophy. Let’s hope he leaves as soon as possible.

It is obvious that he is talking about Kane... He went from the Homegrown hero that would/could become one of the greatest in the clubs' history to a virus. Now we will be forced to sell him for around 80-90 at most in January... Fuck off Kane!

It genuinely makes me sad that I feel similarly to you. This past summer I think I was more desperate for Kane to win the euros than I was england at times such was how much I adored Kane and how proud I was to have a spurs man being the captain of my country who might win a title. Then this summer happened and even after the training no show's I said, well he's made a mistake, I think through how unbelievable he's been I think he's earnt the right to some forgiveness for making some poor choices in the summer but like you, it's the performances and lack of effort, I'm just dismayed by it.

To see him tarnishing his legacy is just gutting and I get it, I understand how he feels towards Levy, feels like he's been let down and lied to and all the things he wanted to achieve at the club don't look possible, I understand how that can take a mental toll and I do blame the club for making Kane feel this way because us fans feel this way towards the club at the moment but Kane claims he's a fan but he's one of the supposed few fans of the club whose actions can directly make a difference and to see the gutless as you say performances just, yeah makes me sad and I hate it's ending this way. That the environment at our club has got to the point where we there's boo's when one of our greatest ever players is losing the ball, that's the environment that's been created. I unfortunately am looking forward to when he gets his move so we can draw a line under this absolute mess of a period.

That more than anything he did over the summer is what is so disappointing for me with him, genuinely believed he would be too professional and proud to be playing like he has and that once the window was closed he would knuckle down and get on with it again.
Genuinely gutting

Modric got nothing but stick on SC yet he never gave less than his best for us as a Spurs player. Shame that ‘one of our own’ doesn’t have the same attitude

I don’t think he misheard her the first time. It seemed like a genuine refutation of what was suggested. Kinda like when Erickson sarcastically laughed off the suggestion that Sherwood was a good manager in a post match interview with Kane…

Glad to see that hojbjerg vid. We are appalling. Let's not pretend its just Kane though. There are some awful attitudes in that squad. Ali, winks, ndombele, lo celso. You wouldn't want to go to war with them.

Then add in the shit without the requisite ability; dier, Davies, sanchez, bergwjin, moura et al.

Take out the kids, tanganga, Emerson, gil, skipp, scarlett etc.

All under the watch of 1 trophy in 20 years, 'fabulous businessman' Daniel Levy.

I'd almost feel sorry for the manager if he wasn't such an excitement vacuum.

It's hard being on the way down...it's happened to arsenal in a big way but not long ago Liverpool, united and Chelsea have all been there. The difference is they were still winning trophies. The fans were more or less onside....now you can take teams like Leicester and West ham who are on the up their feel good factor reverberates through the club to the fans. Then take a team like palace who's fans have taken it upon themselves to get selhurst park rocking which in turn must make the players perform above and beyond. We've lost it all in a vicious circle from the ground up,
