'De Zerbi seems to be getting a tune out of these players... I live in hope'
[Getty Images] Tottenham fan Chris Cowlin says he feels "confident" Spurs will avoid relegation as there is a "real belief and confidence" under Roberto de Zerbi. Monday's home draw with Leeds means Spurs should need a maximum of four points from their remaining two games against Chelsea and Everton to seal survival, given their superior goal difference to West Ham. "I feel like it is an opportunity missed but we are still in the driving seat," Cowlin told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.
"It was a frustrating one last night as, like De Zerbi said, we deserved to win but we just weren't clinical enough in front of goal. "The fans were excellent and behind every single player. With Mathys Tel, you stick with the positives - he scored a fantastic goal.
Antonin Kinsky made some big saves - and a world-class save at the end - so when you look at if it was a point gained or two lost, it could easily have been a defeat in the end. "I feel confident because in the past four games we've picked up eight points - two wins and two draws - and there is a real belief and confidence under De Zerbi, so thank goodness he came in when he did. "It was a waste of time under Igor Tudor but De Zerbi seems to be getting a tune out of these players.
I live in hope. "We now watch West Ham go to Newcastle and hopefully they don't pick up any points there and then Spurs need to just go and get a result at Stamford Bridge. That's a huge game.
