Spurs started the season with three successive 1-0 wins but have lost their last three league matches, the most recent of which a 3-1 defeat at bitter rivals Arsenal.
"We lost complete control in the first half. We got smashed and then had a good reaction," Spurs captain Hugo Lloris said following their loss at Emirates Stadium.
"It's frustrating and very disappointing. It's the moment to stick together and carry on. The players were ready but we lost a bit of control. We lost balance in the middle of the pitch.
"When you concede three goals in each of the last three league games you cannot hide the problems," Lloris added.
"But we are professional. There is a long way to go. We need to stay calm."
Villa claimed a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Manchester United last weekend to move above Spurs and into eighth spot on the league standings.
