"I think there's definitely a lot to work on still, he said in his post-match press conference. I think it's fair to say that we are very disappointed and unhappy with the performance today. I don't want to run away from that. As I said, I apologise to the fans. I think it's also fair to say where we're coming from. We finished 17th last year. And we've tried to build something, which today didn't look like we tried to build something."
"We tried to come here and be aggressive and press high and in spells go after them, he said. We didn't succeed with that bit. We didn't manage to get near enough them in the situations we could. It means we got pushed back and got a little too passive. It looks like we are running after them. When we finally got on the ball we were not good enough to get out of those situations."
Tottenham were comprehensively outplayed by Arsenal at the Emirates, with Eberechi Eze inspiring a dominant Arsenal display. Spurs produced few meaningful chances apart from Richarlison's audacious long-range lob, and spent much of the match on the back foot. Arsenal moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League, while Spurs slipped to winless in three league games and have won only one of their last five. The team shows signs of being in a transitional period after finishing 17th last season, struggling to press effectively, becoming passive, and failing to escape pressured situations when in possession.
