Ben Davies has revealed that Tottenham acting head coach Ryan Mason has given the squad a rather simple message after replacing Cristian Stellini at the helm. Following a bad run of form that has seen the team drop out of Champions League contention, the 31-year-old has found himself in charge of the Lilywhites at the end of the campaign for the second time in three seasons.
Having started off with a draw against Manchester United and a stoppage-time defeat away at Liverpool, Mason masterminded a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. Intent on putting an end to their mixed run of form and securing a European berth for next season, Davies has revealed that his former Spurs teammate has made it clear to the team that he wants them "to be as good as we can with the ball and tighten it up without it".
"It’s not the easiest situation to come into," explained the Wales international. "We’ve got limited amount of games so it’s hard for him to come in and completely change things and do it his own way.
