Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has called on his side to show their resilience and step up to cover for absentees in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Yves Bissouma is facing a four-match suspension following his second dismissal of the season in Spurs\u2019 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Dejan Kulusevski picked out Richarlison to head home the opener in first-half stoppage-time before turning goalscorer to move Tottenham closer to the Champions League places.<\/p>\n

Bissouma\u2019s was the fourth sending off of the season for Tottenham and discipline remains a concern for Australian Postecoglou, who is also without Destiny Udogie for the clash with Everton.<\/p>\n

Postecoglou told Sky Sports Premier League: \u201cWe lose him (Bissouma), we lose Destiny Udogie (also suspended) but I\u2019ve got a feeling it\u2019s going to be that type of season for us. It\u2019s building resilience in the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got plenty of reason to make excuses, we haven\u2019t, we\u2019ve gone through a rough trot, we\u2019ve still got some tough games coming up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when you get through these periods and you\u2019re steadfast in what you\u2019re trying to do, I think you come out stronger provided you maintain belief.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s (discipline) been a little bit of an issue. It\u2019s a fine line with those things.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players are aware of that, they don\u2019t want to miss games. I think today was more of a desperation tackle than something nasty.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m working with fantastic footballers. That makes a big difference. I\u2019ve been pleased with the progress and I just think there\u2019s so much more to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Cooper urged Forest to keep their heads held high.<\/p>\n

They came close in the latter stages to getting something out of the game as Harry Toffolo saw an effort superbly clawed off the line before Neco Williams struck the post.<\/p>\n

Cooper said: \u201cYou\u2019ve got to keep believing in the players. If the players are not believing in themselves and not as confident as they can be, they\u2019re not going to commit to the decision making and the risks that we need them to take.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s always pressure and you have to deal with that if you want to excel \u2013 and survive in our case \u2013 at this level. That will continue. We\u2019ll stand up and be counted.\u201d<\/p>\n
