We just fell short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe couldn\u2019t really take control of the game. We struggled to get any traction in terms of with and without the ball, and that allowed them to get in behind us. We had some chances where we probably should have capitalised early on, but in the end, it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at the situation we\u2019re in, it will eventually dissipate. I certainly hope and believe it will. We\u2019ll give ourselves the opportunity to get consistency in performance and results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly haven\u2019t lost belief or determination to turn it around, and the players showed in the second half that they haven\u2019t either.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Full-time. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/T2DQ4PKnXq\">pic.twitter.com\/T2DQ4PKnXq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpursOfficial\/status\/1881008920929681441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The loss at Goodison Park was Spurs\u2019 12th in the Premier League this season, making it only the sixth time in club history that they have lost as many as 12 of their first 22 matches of a league campaign \u2013 and the first time since 1997-98.<\/p>\n<p>Postecoglou lost Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma to injury in the build-up to the game, on top of a host of other concerns, and knows action in the transfer market is required.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pretty stretched,\u201d he added. \u201cWe literally had 11 players fit enough to start the game. We weren\u2019t in total control of our organisation and Everton capitalised on that, and we paid the price for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be urgency [in the transfer window], but it doesn\u2019t need me to say it, everybody can see that. I have no issues with how the club are going about it, they are working hard and trying to find solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese players need help, that is for sure. Hopefully, over the next 10 days or so, we\u2019ll find a solution. It is really tricky. We\u2019re not the only ones in the market.
