Spurs were humbled at the Emirates Stadium and are desperate to get back on track against Sunderland, who visit White Hart Lane on Saturday for the Premier League clash.

"We're looking forward to the next game," Crouch said. "We'll pick ourselves up, we've had a good season so far and can't let that kick us back down because we have enough ability in the dressing room to kick on, starting against Sunderland.

"We have done fantastically well this season. We've had blips against the big teams but we have enough about us to win the matches that are getting thrown at us - and then we're in with a chance.

"Other teams are dropping points and if we take advantage of that we'll be right up there where we want to be at the end of the season."

Crouch added on Spurs TV Online: "It's one defeat. Man City drew and Liverpool lost last week, there are plusses and we haven't dropped that many points.

"We're fifth in the league and can't complain with that, and there are matches coming up that are winnable. If we're organised and do our jobs we'll get those points and push ourselves right back in there."

Meanwhile, Adel Taarabt has suggested he wants to move away from Spurs when his loan at QPR is completed, with a transfer to the Spanish or Italian league appealing to the playmaker.

He told the Ealing Gazette: "Tottenham would like me to sign a new deal with them but, frankly, I don't fancy going back there now. I've got two-and-a-half years left with them, but I hope to leave soon."
