Dejan Kulusevski has slammed Tottenham's latest painful grind through the gears and admitted: “If we want to be a big team, we have to play from the first minute.”
Spurs fell behind, for the ninth consecutive game in a row, and trailed 2-0 at Brentford on Boxing Day before Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg rescued a point. But Swedish winger Kulusevski was unimpressed with their sluggish start, saying: “We have to improve. It’s not OK to start games like this.
“If we want to be a big team, then we have to start playing from the first minute. It’s not enough with words. We have to do it on the pitch. If I knew how to change it, I would tell everybody, but I don’t know. We have to figure it out as a team, everybody together.
