Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged Tottenham are a long way off being able to challenge for the Premier League title but believes the squad will grow from the current pain they feel.
Spurs suffered a third consecutive defeat on Thursday night in losing 2-0 at Chelsea, which followed a 3-2 reverse at home to Arsenal last Sunday and a four-goal thrashing away to Newcastle midway through April.
Those results have halted Tottenham's top-four bid and sparked questions over whether Postecoglou still remains on the right path to bring overdue success to the club.
Ahead of Sunday's trip to Liverpool, Postecoglou said: 'We're a long way off but it doesn't mean we can't challenge next year.
'I think in terms of the team I want us to be we're a fair way off, but I'm not dismissing the fact that we have to be competitive and challenge for success every year I am here.

'I'm not going to dismiss any year as just a building year. Every year is a building year to get to where we want to, but it's also an opportunity for us to have success.
