Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou admits his players are still learning his system after their friendly defeat to West Ham in Perth.
Spurs lost 3-2 as the defence attempted to play consistently from the back.
Postecoglou later said: "Yeah that's what I'm talking about with the intent. You know there are consequences if we don't get that right but I'm trying to provide a security and a structure to the players to encourage them to release that fear and play that kind of football. That's the kind of team we want to be. At the moment there will be missteps along the way - that's only natural. But I'm trying to make sure the players understand that veering away or shying away from that will mean us playing the kind of football that I don't want us to play.
"So we have to be all in on this stuff. For the most part I think they were trying to be that, but obviously at times it didn't flow as well because we weren't really sure about what position to take up, but the good thing is that at least we've got moments there where we can show them that under extreme pressure, you can get these kind of outcomes, which allows us then to work on it."
He also said: "The goals we conceded are partly on me - we haven't done loads of work on those kind of defensive areas and structures around set-pieces and stuff. I can't expect the guys to take everything on board. I thought for the most part defensively the pressure was really good and we didn't allow too many chances as you said. But we don't want to be conceding goals with them producing a small number of chances.
"But that's not the sort of stuff worked on. There are still things in our structure where we could have moved the ball quicker and guys aren't in exactly the position they need to be. And there are a few things we need to keep developing, as is only natural as they get fitter to play this kind of football. We're still in the early stages. At the same time we only have three or so weeks to get ready for the first game so we're working hard."
