Tottenham captain Ledley King admits they should forget about Europe, and face the facts they are in a major relegation battle ... and that they need to make White Hart Lane a fortress if they are to survive.

Spurs suffered a 1-0 defeat to Everton to leave them nervously looking over their shoulders.

King: "You only have to look at the table and see how tight it is. We're aware of that.

"This was a good opportunity for us to try to push away from that bottom group, but every time we lose a game we are right back in it, so there's still a lot of work to be done.

"We switched off for a split second and that cost us a goal. On days like that, good teams would grind out a 0-0 and take a point.

"Over the years teams have found it tough to win here [at White Hart Lane]. Last season and so far this season we have slipped off the boil at home, so we are slowly trying to make it a fortress again."
