Roberto De Zerbi on Spurs starting with such a fast, strong tempo but why did that not translate into goals... Tottenham 0-0 Everton...

"I am honest, I am always honest with you because when we play bad, I say we played very bad but when I come in press conference, 99 per cent I am honest, like with the players and like with the club. I said we started this season late in many, many reasons and too late, many players at the World Cup, many injuries, many problems in Australia - Mateus Fernandes, Micky van de Ven, Dominic Solanke and for not our responsibility or our club responsibility. We bought two players late, Savio and Marmoush, and I started to work with this group not last Thursday, two Thursdays ago. So, I think we have not the right physical condition, yet. I think we played very well the first 30 minutes and then maybe the energy, maybe the fact we didn’t score, maybe we lost in some players a little confidence. We have to be not positive, but realistic. If we extend that part of the game 30 minutes to 60, 70, 80 and 90, in my opinion, for my belief, we are going to win many games. We have to improve in the last third of the pitch, for sure. The last decision, the last pass. We have to shoot more times especially when we have space and time to do, we have to do with the right spirit, but I can’t say nothing bad, because I know how the players are working, I think we are in the right way. It’s tough to explain, because four games without goals is tough to accept. We are sorry for the fans, but the fans, they went behind the players. When the players in the first 30 minutes, they played very well, it was a hot, hot stadium and then everyone like me, like every fan inside of Tottenham or the people inside of the club, we were sad because 75 times in the goal area and not shoot enough to explain the quality of the play we did. Also in the second half. I watch many, many games where the winning team created less than us in the second half. What is the problem? The problem is the goal and the most important problem is the players have to be focused on the first 30 minutes and the improvements we can do and we have to do - not about social media."
