Jose Mourinho says he does not feel 'ready' to explain why Tottenham have dropped point this season.

Spurs were ahead 1-0 against Manchester United on Sunday, before eventually going down 3-1.

Only Brighton (20) have dropped more points than Spurs (18) from winning positions in the league this season.

"I know why it happened," Mourinho told reporters ahead of Friday's trip to Everton.

"I know also that you can look at it from a different perspective. A team that starts matches well, starts winning matches, means something positive that you like to forget. The positive aspect of that, but I agree with you in the sense that when you are in winning positions and lose points, there are also negative things to it.

Pushed for reasons why it keeps happening, Mourinho added: "That's what I'm not ready to discuss with you. I think it has to do with some of our qualities as a team, but I'm not ready to discuss with you."

Asked when he would be willing to discuss this matter, Mourinho said "maybe never".
