Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou felt they weren't aggressive enough for defeat to Wolves.
Spurs lost 2-1 after two goals in injury-time.
Postecoglou said: "The first half I just felt that we started well but we could have been a bit more positive and be a little bit more aggressive with the ball. I've got to temper that with the fact that we've made so many changes and we're not going to get the same type of fluency, especially when particularly three of your back four are virtually starting for the first time.
"We've made a couple of changes as well further up and it's not going to be as fluent but I just felt we could have been more positive, especially in the first half. Second half I thought it wasn't too bad but I just thought and maybe because we were winning the game, I think a lot of the guys in the back of their minds, they haven't played in a while and there was a little bit of self preservation there to get us through to the end of the game. It's all understandable stuff because of the line up we had out there."
On Eric Dier and Ben Davies' performances, the manager was upbeat.
"Both of them and Emerson, and even for guys like Brennan [Johnson] and Pierre [Hojbjerg], who haven't really started many games because we've had a pretty settled line-up. Particularly those two guys coming in [Dier and Davies], I thought their commitment, their endeavour to play our way was there for the whole game. They held out in the end. I think you could see they were feeling towards the end but they didn't let their performance levels drop.
"For the most part, Wolves didn't have many really big chances, I think Vic had one or two saves to make but obviously at the end there, I think the first goal was a really good goal and we probably ran out of steam in the last few minutes. Wolves, particularly with the crowd behind them, were able to lift themselves."
