Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris admits their form collapse this season is difficult to explain.
Lloris knows it has hardly been a year for Tottenham to savour since the Champions League final.
"Wow, it's difficult to explain," said Lloris.
"Last season, we went on an incredible run in the Champions League and we finished the season on our knees and you don't have time to recover from one season before you have to start a new one.
"And then there was the accumulation of things that provoked the situation, and then of course a lot of injured players. The change of manager. It's difficult to stay stable and to be always looking at the top.
"There is sometimes one season when everything goes against you."
