Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris insists they cannot dwell on defeat at West Ham.
Spurs, who had already lost to Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal, went down to Michail Antonio's late goal at the London Stadium after a disappointing second-half performance where they failed to have a shot on goal.
“That was the target (fourth). Clearly we need to keep working, keep fighting," he said.
“There is no big difference between the teams for the European places. Consistency is the key. When you face a direct opponent you have to take the points or at least, as I say, not lose. It is painful and we need to move on.
“We cannot give up – there are many games ahead of us and we are going to try to improve individually and collectively.
“We know that there are a lot of expectation, same as every season, on our shoulders and the players have a responsibility to do their best and when I see all the players I think they are trying to do their best.
“But sometimes it does not work but that is not the moment to give up. We need to carry on with a good energy and positiveness."
