We asked for your views on whether Tottenham are the ultimate fair-weather team and whether Ange Postecoglou's side need to show more ability to dig in.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Dave: Comparing us to a year ago: are we better, more consistent, or progressing? For me that's key, but I don't see it. Unless that changes, Ange will run out of time. It is obvious that we must be more resilient, win individual battles and adapt tactically in games, but we don't seem to have the types of players or a manager for that. 'Weak' screams out so often.

Laurence: Unfortunately it is the Tottenham DNA. I have supported them for 62 years! One commentator said it was the worst in 40 years, but he has forgotten when Spurs were 3-0 up at half-time at home against Manchester United and lost 3-5. It happens. The team will pick themselves up and do better. It is still a great club, but maybe we're not champion material - yet.

Doug: The players are the problem, not the style of play. I'm 100% behind the manager. I believe in what he is trying to achieve. This is going to take time and the players have to be on the ball for the full game. If they play like they did in the first half at Brighton, for the whole game, we will be in the top four.

Jojo: All elite teams have a great plan A to dominate matches, which is scoring goals and conceding as little as possible. Typically, they also have a plan B to win ugly when really needed. Spurs have a decent plan A but the main issue is they don't even want to entertain any kind of plan B. Most Premier League managers are good enough to beat plan As.
