Tottenham Hotspur fans were left disappointed after they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday, with manager Mauricio Pochettino facing questions about his team's performance.

The loss was Tottenham's third consecutive defeat in all competitions and saw them slip further down the table. The club's record signing, Harry Kane, struggled to find the net again as he scored just one goal this season, despite being given plenty of chances by Pochettino.

Pochettino defended his team's performance against Brentford, saying that it was a tough game and that his players had put up a good fight. However, he also acknowledged that there were areas where his side could have done better.

"We didn't play well enough," Pochettino said. "We made some mistakes in the first half and we didn't get the results we wanted. But I'm proud of my team for fighting until the end."

Despite the loss, Pochettino remains confident in his squad and believes that they can turn things around. He has called on his players to work harder and be more disciplined if they want to avoid more defeats in the coming weeks.

However, the pressure is mounting on Pochettino to improve his team's form and bring them back into the top four of the Premier League. With only three games remaining before the Christmas break, the Argentine manager will need to make sure that his players perform at their best if he wants to keep his job.

In conclusion, Tottenham's defeat to Brentford was a disappointing result for the club, but it's clear that the team needs to improve if they want to remain competitive in the Premier League. Pochettino will need to lead by example and ensure that his players work hard if they want to turn things around and secure a place in the top four.
