Nuno Espirito Santo: Not the time to panic after losing run, says Tottenham boss

Arsenal beat Tottenham 3-1 at Emirates Stadium on Sunday
Nuno Espirito Sante, Tottenham's boss, says he isn't panicking following three Premier League defeats.

Spurs fell from the top spot to 11th after their first three games, losing to Crystal Palace and Chelsea in Sunday's north London derby.

Nuno insists that the players trust him, despite conceding three goals each in defeats and scoring only once.

The Portuguese said, "Sticking together is the only way to get it done."

"We don’t panic because I know, we know. This is football. It's the way you respond to the bad moments. It is something you can't avoid.

"A moment like this is what you see in history." We must win, play better, and compete better tomorrow, so we need to get out of this situation as soon as possible.

The Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust asked for a meeting Tuesday with the club's board to discuss growing concerns regarding issues off and on the pitch.

Spurs have scored four goals in six league matches and have taken the least number of shots than any other club in the division. Nuno said that he is not worried about his judgment.

He said, "I am concerned about how we can better play." "The judgment, criticism, and opinion are all part of it, and we must deal with them.

"That does not interfere with the way we work. It can only distract. It can only distract us.

"In terms fans, this is not the time to ask them. We need their support. We need their support, because the players and team need it. But now is not the time to ask.

"It's the time to deliver. We have to offer them positive feelings. They see a team that's solid and plays well when things get back to normal.

Former Wolves boss, however, is confident that his team will believe in his methods.

He said, "There is no doubt about that because it is what we do every day." "These moments are the most important. We must stick together.

"Belief is the first step in doing things, and we believe it."

"We need decisions to protect us"

Giovani Lo Celso, Cristian Romero were named in Argentina's 30-man squad to play with Paraguay Uruguay and Peru between 8-15 October. This is despite Uruguay remaining on the UK travel red list.

Tottenham will travel to Newcastle on 17th October. However, anyone arriving from Argentina to the UK must quarantine for a minimum of 10 days. Both spent time in Croatia training before returning to London.

Nuno said, "What we are worried about is the governing body making a decision to protect the clubs during this international break."

"We don't want the same situation to happen again. We don't have our team. It's difficult to say no when you are part of an international team. This has never been the case.

"We face a situation due to the pandemic. We want protection as a team. We want to be protected because we want our national team players available to us.
