Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has urged fans to stand with them.
Spurs were booed off by the home crowd while trailing at the break against Newcastle and Sporting, and Conte urged supporters to get behind the team and appreciate the difficulty of performing during the current schedule.
“This type of season is very difficult and I think everybody has to understand this," said Conte, who described Spurs fans as “amazing" but demanding.
“To play every three days, every two days and a half, it's not simple to recover and it's difficult to recover for me with the energy.
“I imagine it's difficult for my players to recover and in this type of situation, the fans of every team have to stay closer to try and push, to try to help the team, every team but not only Tottenham because this type of situation, they need to understand it's a big, big effort for everybody.
“For sure, we talk a lot about the welfare of the players, but also the welfare of the managers because in this way we put a serious risk to the welfare of the players and the manager.
“I repeat that we don't play but the stress that we are under before every game, every two days for game after game. Analysis, video, to speak to the players. It's fatigue. It's OK and it's the same for everybody. I'm not complaining and I'm only answering your question."
