Tottenham boss Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "I have been better. Of course, we are massively frustrated that we couldn't get the win today. No doubt about that. I see a team running and fighting out there.

"They gave everything in a tricky and difficult situation against a good team who make it difficult for us, especially in the first half."

On squad depth affecting results: "I think it is a two-sided question. 10 players with injury and suspension, and another injury after 30 minutes 100% doesn't help.

"I am absolutely sure any coach would like to have more available players as it is easier to get more out of everything. I have never complained. We do everything we can to put out a competitive team out there."

On fans booing: "I understand the frustration. It has been building up a little bit - last season it was similar playing Europe and Premier League.

"This season is similar playing Europe and the Premier League. So there is something in the squad we need to be resilient, mentally and physically."I am 100% sure that it is a team effort, and it is not only one person. We are all aligned and we know what needs to be done."

Spurs striker Dominic Solanke, speaking to TNT Sports: "Not great, we want to be winning games. We know it's not good enough from us. We're obviously frustrated and want to turn this form around.

"It's tough to put a finger on it. We're not doing the business at the moment, we've got a lot of players out injured.

"We're trying to get it right and turn it around as quickly as possible. We wanted to get the win but it didn't go our way.

"We don't want to be anywhere near the bottom of the table, but we know we can turn it around. It's a matter of when. We have a while until the next game now.

"We've got great players on the team. We need to be doing better and the next game will be another tough one. We've got time to get that right."
