Under-pressure Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has outlined why his team has failed to fire this season in the Premier League - and accepts some long-suffering fans have 'lost faith' in his squad.
Spurs sit 14th on the table after 15 defeats from 29 games - a far cry from last season, when 'Aussie Ange' guided his team to fifth spot.
And while Tottenham reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and are into the quarter-finals of the Europa League, the playing group are clearly fatigued.
Injuries have also played their part in the series of poor domestic results, but Postecoglou, 59, believes the seemingly never-ending fixture list has seen his players take their eyes off the main prize - performing across 38 games in the Premier League.
