Roberto De Zerbi has admitted his biggest challenge for his Tottenham team will be to find “the right mentality”, as they fell to a second consecutive defeat at the start of the Premier League season.
Spurs were deservedly beaten by Matthias Jaissle’s Newcastle when they fell away in the second half of this match after dominating the first. De Zerbi said the outcome could have been much different, but called for patience both for his team and for his big-money signings, none more so than Sandro Tonali, who cost an initial £92.5m.
