Tottenham ace Lucas Moura rapped his teammates after defeat at Arsenal on Sunday.
Moura says Tottenham must "be quiet and work hard" as he believes the squad needs return to the mindset they possessed against Manchester City and Crystal Palace in order to succeed.
Speaking after the game, Moura said: "The feeling is very, very bad. We know what it means for the fans, for the club and of course we wanted to win, we wanted a different result.
"It's not a time to speak. It's a time to be quiet and work hard. It was a very bad game, it didn't work at all.
"I think they took advantage of our mistakes. We gave them too much space. And we didn't play. We didn't try to play. We didn't try to have the ball.
"We have quality to have the ball, to build, to do more than what we did. So many long balls. We were not aggressive enough and they punished us.
"Even 3-0 down, it was not finished. Second half we did different, it was quite [good]. But it was too late, 3-0 from the first half was very difficult to turn over.
"But we tried, we fought until the end but it was not enough we're not happy and we need to improve."
He also said the squad needed to "run more" and be "more aggressive" to regain the form that saw them win their opening three games of the 2021-2022 campaign.
"We need to run more. We need to be more aggressive, we need to work more, work harder," he said.
"But we cannot be crazy. It's only the beginning of the season. We have a lot of games to play so we need to improve as soon as possible.
"It's Premier League. Every game is hard, every game is a war. The first three games was good, especially against [Manchester] City. I don't know why we changed our mind against [Crystal] Palace, it didn't work.
"We didn't know how to react after but we need to react as soon as possible. We need to improve. Like I said, we have the quality to do better.
"We need to know how to pass this moment, how to face this moment. We're all good players who have quality to improve. To do better. That's the Premier League, that's football."
