"I have lots of work to do but it has been difficult because I always say you have to try and hide your fragilities."
Jose Mourinho said he is frustrated by the number of individual mistakes being made by his Tottenham players.
The Portuguese revealed this after Spurs' 2-2 draw with the Premier League's bottom club Norwich City on Saturday.
Mario Vrancic broke the deadlock in the 18th-minute but Spurs responded just after half-time through Christian Eriksen's free-kick. Serge Aurier's own-goal made it 2-1 in the 61st minute and it looked like The Canaries were heading for a win not until Harry Kane scored a penalty seven minutes from time on his 200th league appearance to make it 2-2.
However, Mourinho was clearly not pleased with how the Lilywhites performed at Carrow Road, and he told Sky Sports: "I think the same defensive mistakes we made in the first half, we made in the second half. This is being a little bit of our history.
"We started very, very well and had three or four big chances at the beginning of the first half and conceded two very bad goals - one of those offside.
"I have lots of work to do but it has been difficult because I always say you have to try and hide your fragilities."
Mourinho: "We have to improve defensively because there are too many individual mistakes.
"That's very frustrating because we play well and cannot be more offensive than we were in the second half. Our defensive mistakes are match after match."
