Tottenham played out a 1-1 draw on a hot afternoon at Leicester City, and were made to labour against a home side brimming with confidence.
Dele Alli opened the scoring for the visitors, after latching unmarked onto a Nacer Chadli cross for his first Premier League goal. A Wes Morgan hoof and Jamie Vardy flick-on later, and Riyad Mahrez had promptly leveled it up for the hosts.
"It's very disappointing," the French international told Spurs TV. "It's basics – everyone knows we have to be switched on from the kick-off."
The North London club is yet to record a clean sheet after three league games. It is in the last two games that Lloris's concerns are most apparent: Stoke City's two goals in five minutes to make it 2-2 last week, and now Leicester's instant reply on Saturday.
"We need to learn from this," Lloris said. "We've done a lot of positive things which we can focus on but we have to correct the negatives."
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has been vocal of his want of a new striker at Spurs, and will hope to wrap up a deal for a new forward before they welcome Everton to White Hart Lane next Saturday.
