Sherwood "massively disappointed" with Spurs

Tim Sherwood slammed Tottenham's "capitulation" after their 4-0 defeat at Chelsea.

Sherwood described Tottenham's top-four chances as "slim" following the defeat and was frustrated with his side's "capitulation", something all too familiar this season.

Sherwood, who replaced Andre Villas-Boas following the 5-1 defeat to Liverpool, said: "We've got a lot of big games coming up and we have to go and win them.

"We had to do win them before today, and it's another blow to us.

"No one came here thinking we were going to turn Chelsea over; we hadn't done it in 24 years.

"I believed we could and after the first-half performance I believed they were there for us. But it never materialised.

"(I am) massively disappointed, not too much about the result and the performance in the first half, but on the capitulation that the team showed, and showed too often this season.

"We were 2-0 down with 10 men at Chelsea, you're not going to win the game. But you expect to see a little bit more guts, a little bit more pride, a little bit more feather rustling.

"I don't want to be the only one who shouts at them. I think they need to dig each other out now and again and get the best out of each other."
