MATT BARLOW: Ange Postecoglou won't let his Tottenham side unravel after playing it safe in second straight loss against Wolves... the Australian will feel he must strengthen in January after a tough week

Tottenham's players left Wolverhampton in no doubt about where they had gone wrong.

'We almost went too safe,' said Brennan Johnson, whose goal gave Spurs the lead in the third minute. 'Including myself, we all went into safety mode thinking if we see it out we get three points.

'We went back into the headspace of getting three points, and that's not the mentality we have to have. We can't be playing like that. We'll try to be more aggressive in the pressing and in the positioning and playing forwards.'

Johnson's summary echoed Ange Postecoglou's post-match comments, which suggests it is a family-friendly version of discussions inside the dressing room after stoppage-time goals by Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina spun the game on its head.
