Tottenham fell to another defeat in the Premier League, losing away at Fulham, despite attempting to make a late comeback at Craven Cottage in Igor Tudor's second match in charge.
Tottenham interim boss Igor Tudor has blasted his team's performance as it "lacked everything" in their defeat away at Fulham on Sunday afternoon. Spurs went behind after just seven minutes as Harry Wilson scored from close-range, despite Spurs protests for a push on Radu Dragusin.
That lead was later doubled by Alex Iwobi before half-time, with Tottenham fans booing the team off at the break. There was a response after the hour mark as Richarlison popped up at the back post to head in an Archie Gray cross, but it wasn't enough to claw back a point.
"We were not good, lacked everything," Tudor told the press after the match on his side's display. "Attacking and defending. Fulham were much better. There are problems here, big problems. We need to stay calm, believe in what we are doing in training, and get out, staying all together.
"These are not things to speak outside, we speak in the dressing room. The problems are more complex [than attitude and commitment] second half was better, but the first half was not enough."
While those issues are clearly present, Tottenham fans will be hoping that they can find quick solutions to bring an end to their rotten run of form. They are now without a win in ten Premier League games, the joint-longest in the club's history, the previous one being in 1994.

While Tottenham have hardly performed well, they may be cursing their luck, too. There was fume from Tudor when he believed that Radu Dragusin was fouled for a push in the back from Raul Jimenez, right before Wilson struck the opener, but VAR stuck with the onfield decision of goal.
That was in stark contrast to a goal Tottenham had disallowed a week earlier in the North London Derby, when Gabriel Magalhaes went to ground for a push in the back. On the foul, Tudor was clear on his thoughts as he said: "Of course it's a foul. Incredible mistake."
Defeat for Tottenham still leaves them in the relegation conversation, though defeat for Nottingham Forest and West Ham keeps the gap at four points. Tudor believes that thoughts surrounding relegation must be banished, with focus on the midweek clash with Crystal Palace.
"We are just thinking about the next game," he said. "We don't need to think about that [relegation] not because it cannot happen, but we must focus on growing mentality as a team, concentration, physically. These are the only goals we must have."
