Lloris critical of Tottenham focus

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris says the team needs to see games out following their 1-1 draw against Burnley at Wembley.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino said his side needed to concentrate more, and France international Lloris echoed that sentiment.

"We need to do better, we need the kill the game, a game like today you need to kill," he said.

"We had some few good chances to score but we didn’t do it, the keeper made some good saves too and then yeah, you know.

"Wembley is a different place, it demands more effort in your mind, in your body, and then we need to try and find the right feeling, find the right confidence, so step-by-step it will arrive but yeah we need to make sure that kind of scenario will not happen again.”

However, Lloris was quick to point out Spurs could just as easily have crumbled had the games taken place at White Hart Lane and that the side will adapt to Wembley.

"I think it could’ve happened in White Hart Lane, from the beginning your two home games you didn’t win, you start to lose a bit of confidence, and the same you can feel it in the crowd, you can feel the opponent building confidence.

"And it’s not easy, especially after a season like last one, we were unbeaten, we could’ve played eyes closed, we were fantastic, but the most important is to keep our belief, keep working hard, and it will happen.

“I do think we should have managed the end of the game better, but we cannot replay the game, it’s finished now and we need to think about that and improve individually, improve collectively, and make sure that kind of scenario will not happen again.”

Lloris remained tight-lipped when questioned about the potential arrival of Paris Saint-Germain right-back Serge Aurier.

I don’t know about that, I don’t know what will happen in the next few days, we will see, it’s difficult to talk about things that are not done yet.”
