Tottenham boss Postecoglou: Lack of intensity cost Fulham defeat

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says they lacked intensity for their defeat at Fulham.

Spurs were hammered 3-0 on the day.

Postecoglou later said: "It was disappointing obviously. First half was a tight game, we had some chances they had some chances. Once they got the second goal, they got on top of us and we couldn't get a grip of the game like we needed to.

"It's something we need to analyse I thought we were careless on the ball. We were too keen to get forward. We lacked some conviction in our last third play. It's part of our growth. Feel that pain and learn from it. It does go down as a bad day at the office but we don't accept it. First half was even enough. It wasn't our normal levels. We didn't have the same intensity in our play. It's a big part of who we are.

On their top four hopes, he added: "It's all over so we'll just go for sixth. What am I meant to say to that? We're two points behind Villa. It's 10 games to go, there's so much football to play. I don't worry about that stuff.

"It's not about just falling into a place in the ladder. We could finish fourth, great, it's nothing this football club haven't done. It's about how we play."
