Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho was worried about the lack of passion from his players for their defeat at Sheffield United.
Mourinho - who insists he can accept a defeat due to a mistake - or simply if the opponent is better on the day - was instead bemused by his players' lack of heart.
“There was a lot in the game, there was a possibility of shortening distances to Champions League positions, there was the possibility of being more stable for the Europa League positions fight," Mourinho told a press conference on Saturday.
“I believed in the evolution of the team and I thought that by a desire point of view, they put more in than us. That's something that disturbs me.
“It's something that I feel, I don't know, that's my way of being – it's something that destroys me a little bit on the inside because I think the last thing in football is when you have the feeling you could, you should do more.
“I always say it's not a problem for me to lose because my opponent is better, it's not a problem for me to lose because my goalkeeper made a big mistake, it's not a problem for me to lose because my striker missed two chances with an open goal or a guy missed a penalty in the last minute.
"It's not a problem for me to cope with mistakes and defeats. It's a problem when my feeling was we could do much more."
