Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou says their inconsistent start to the season is down to him rather than his players.
Spurs were beaten 2-1 by Ipswich on Sunday to lose for the fifth time in 11 Premier League games this season, leaving them 10th and 12 points off leaders Liverpool.
They have progressed to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals but lost to Galatasaray in the Europa League on Thursday, having won their opening three matches in the competition.
Tottenham’s longest winning run in the league this season is two matches, and five across all competitions.
When asked about the reasons for their inconsistency, Postecoglou told BBC Sport: “It’s just down to me. I’m not getting consistent performances from the players.
“It’s something I need to address. I’m the person in charge so that’s usually the way it goes.
“I take responsibility when their performances don’t meet the levels that they should.”
Asked by Sky Sports if it was a new feeling, he said: “No, I think it’s been our season so far. It’s been really inconsistent.”
