Brentford were the latest team to leave SW6 with three points, just as they did in April. Saturday’s setback was all the more frustrating because it followed a performance of such purpose and promise against Arsenal, even if we were denied a victory in that derby late on.

Mauricio Pochettino has said he and his staff are trying to identify the reasons behind our underwhelming home record in 2023, and he has also identified possible remedies.

‘It’s something we need to fix,’ he stressed.

‘I don’t think I’m worried but we feel the responsibility and we will try to find the solution. The key is to create a good atmosphere.

‘You need the right way between the fans and the team. The team need to translate the idea of the fans so they can trust them. It works both ways. That is time. We have talented players but we are a new team. We are competing but we are missing things.

‘You sense the mood changes when we concede,’ he added. ‘We need to build trust.

‘Sometimes you have to accept the game is going in a direction you don’t want. You need to be calm in this moment, and have the character to say ‘okay, it’s in a different direction but we are mature enough to play the way we should’. We will work on it.’
