Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo is not concerned about the criticism coming his way after a run of three Premier League defeats as his side prepares to face NS Mura in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Nuno is already coming under pressure after successive losses to Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Arsenal, with the first-half display against the Gunners on Sunday going down as one of the worst performances in recent north London derbies.

"There's no judgement. I'm not worried about the judgements. What I'm worried about is how we can play better. How can we play better?," said a defiant Nuno.

"The judgement, and the criticism, and the opinion and all of that is all part of it ... That doesn't interfere with the way we work, it can only distract us," he added.

"Obviously, the mood is not good and we are sad, disappointed, but it's a feeling that we have to realise that we have, that is with us, that goes home with us. That doesn't allow us to sleep, but only can make us stronger to react. And the reaction is tomorrow."

"What happened is in the past, what I'm worried about is what is going on with with the team. We want the best of all our players. We want the best of Harry (Kane). We want the best of all of them, and only with the best of all of us. We can go through this situation."

"There's no judgement. I'm not worried about the judgement, what I'm worried about, how can we play better? The judgement and the criticism and the opinion and all of that is part of it. And we have to deal with that. We have to deal with that. And that doesn't interfere in the way we work. You can only distract us."
