It’s been tough from the beginning, coming back late after the Euros and I haven’t really been able to get going. I got injured and that halted me again. Then, Toby got injured and I played there [in central defence]. “I’m trying to get back to having a good feeling again, like I did last season and, over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been getting back to that.

“What is more important than my position is getting the right feeling and feeling good again, physically and mentally. This is football and these things happen to everyone. It’s not been a catastrophe; it’s just been a bit of a slow start.”
“It’s been tough from the beginning, coming back late after the Euros and I haven’t really been able to get going. I got injured and that halted me again. Then, Toby got injured and I played there [in central defence]. “I’m trying to get back to having a good feeling again, like I did last season and, over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been getting back to that.”
“But, sometimes, jokes with people don’t come across when they are written down.”
“Last year, we went on a good run and, if we replicate that, we will be in a really good place after Christmas. We’d be well in the mix.”
“But I do think some people forget that I am essentially a foreign player – certainly they did last season. I’m English but, for me, it was like any other foreign player coming to the Premier League for the first time. “It was hard for me and I had a massive dip at around this time last year. Because the transfer was going on until August I didn’t have as good a pre-season. I was becoming tired at around now whereas this year I feel fine.”
“I want to play for England and this year I have continued to play for the 21s. There is a lot of Portuguese in me but I am English. “The whole situation was completely misinterpreted. I don’t think it was dealt with in the right way from both sides, it could have been handled better and you learn from that. But if you look now, I think it was the right decision. I knew that if I stayed at Tottenham I could train well and get back to a good level.”
“Because I know that a lot of people did. People will say: ‘Ah, I know nothing about this kind of stuff.’ Some people try to play it cool but you are going to know. But it didn’t bother me. I looked at it like I had nothing to lose. Now it’s just a question of maintaining it.”
“He is the kind of guy that you need to be nice to. I see all these people trying to fight him. I’m not sure that’s the way to go. At the beginning, I wanted to make sure he knew I wasn’t going to roll over but after that he seemed fine to me. Obviously we both speak Portuguese and we spoke a lot during the game. It was all good-humoured. There wasn’t any malice from either side.”
“The one where he’s having a go at me. No? Oh, I thought you were. There was this picture of us and he’s pulled me over and he’s just having a go at me on the sidelines. It was because I was like a headless chicken in the first 10 minutes.”
