‘Baffling, just awful’ – Tottenham fans rage at one Igor Tudor player decision vs Fulham Sun 1 March 2026 17:08, UK Tottenham fans have been left stunned that striker Dominic Solanke played the full 90 minutes in defeat at Fulham.Solanke was handed his first start under Tudor, after coming on as a substitute during his first game in charge against Arsenal.Tudor’s winless start to life as Spurs‘ interim manager continued, with Fulham prevailing 2-1 at Craven Cottage thanks to first half goals from Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi.The defeat keeps Spurs just four points above the Premier League relegation zone, with Tudor’s side thankful that both West Ham and Nottingham Forest failed to win their games this weekend.Credit: ImagoTottenham fans ‘can’t understand’ Dominic Solanke decisionTudor needs to learn fast about his Spurs players amid the relegation fight the club currently find themselves in. MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Supporters were confused by the decision not to bring Solanke off during the game, with Tudor instead replacing the likes of Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani up-front.Solanke only had five touches in the opposition’s penalty area and one shot on goal during his 90 minutes on the pitch, whilst also failing to win any aerial duels.Richarlison came off the bench to score Spurs’ consolation goal, and the Brazilian has scored eight Premier League goals this season, whilst Solanke has only netted twice.One fan claimed that Solanke had ‘done nothing’ against Fulham, whilst another supporter called the 28-year-old an “awful” footballer.I just can’t understand the job Solanke is being asked to do.
