I will stop Spurs rot says Poch

-

said: “The last five days we were punched in football – 7-2 and 3-0 – and it’s normal you don’t feel so good.

“It’s a bad moment but in this moment only you can be better. I will try to give my best.”

Pochettino insists he’s the man to drag Tottenham out of their current crisis and turn things around.

He said: “I accept the criticism but I don’t need to show my commitment. My commitment is there after five-and-ahalf years.

“I need to accept the criticism the same as when I have praise.”

Asked if he feared the sack if their slump continues, Poch added: “No I’m not worried. What worries me is life. Not football. What scares me is life.

“Football is a game that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Our habit was to win, win, win – and be praised. The last two games were tough situations.”

Lloris was carried off after landing awkwardly in the error that led to Neal Maupay’s early opener.

Albion rookie Aaron Connolly’s double only piled on the misery for Spurs and Pochettino fears the worst for his World Cup winning captain.

He added: “The news is not good from the hospital.”

CONOR HOURIHANE admits even the ASTON VILLA players were left surprised by their five-star showing at NORWICH.

Hourihane was among the scorers as the Canaries were torn apart in Villa’s

5-1 win at Carrow Road.

The Irishman said: “We probably didn’t see this coming ourselves. But we were fully deserving of the three points.”

Jeff Hendrick’s second-half winner for BURNLEY heaped more pressure on EVERTON boss Marco Silva.

Hendrick said: “We had a bad start last season but after Christmas we turned it around and we’ve not looked back from there.”

WATFORD remain bottom after their goalless draw with SHEFFIELD UNITED.

Hornets boss Quique Sanchez Flores said: “We’re working hard together to get more confidence for the future.”
