Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas has admitted there is a severe shortage of confidence running through the team that is affecting their results on the pitch.

Spurs slipped to their fourth league defeat in just six games after their 2-0 loss at Portsmouth yesterday, leaving them rooted to the foot of the table with just two points to their name.

Jenas revealed that boss Juande Ramos has vented his anger at the squad during the slump but recognised that, ultimately, it is the players who must carry the can for the position the club finds itself in.

“The manager gets very angry at certain things, but he also has a very level head. The players know that we have not been up to our usual standards,” conceded the England international.

“The confidence is never going to be sky-high when you are not winning games, and one or two players are maybe lacking a bit of that confidence.”
