Tottenham's weary stars were called out for 'hiding' by Jermain Defoe in a clinical debrief after Aston Villa dumped them out of the FA Cup.
Defoe urged the players to take responsibility for their malaise while Dion Dublin hit out at one key man for lacking convinction in front of goal.
Spurs slumped to a fourth defeat in their last six domestic games after goals from Jacob Ramsey and Morgan Rogers, with Mathys Tel's late consolation not enough to save the day.
It means they have suffered a double whammy of cup exits after Liverpool shoved them out of the Carabao Cup on Thursday night with a 4-0 Anfield hammering.
