Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou told Sky Sports he hasn’t lost faith in turning around the club’s form.

“If you look at the situation we’re in, it will eventually dissipate. I certainly hope and believe it will,” he said.

“We’ll give ourselves the opportunity to get consistency in performance and results.

“I certainly haven’t lost belief or determination to turn it around and the players showed in the second half that they haven’t either.”

However he told BBC’s Match of the Day that changes he made to the team put Spurs on the back foot and ultimately saw them fall short: “First half we gave Everton plenty of opportunities to hurt us, which they did, and second half was much better…but unfortunately it was not enough.

” There is always encouragement for the players but ultimately we have fallen short again and that is the main thing, we have to find a way out of the situation we are in.”
