And he predicted that striker Harry Kane will soon be amongst the goals again despite drawing a blank in his first four league games and failing to find the net in England’s 1-0 victory over Slovakia on Sunday.

“It is true that today, Stoke City try and play attractive football and they have signed good players like Bony, and last season Shaqiri”.
“In the other games this season, nothing much had gone for us and I have previously said what I have said about those games”.
Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool at White Hart Lane before the worldwide break and sit on five points after picking up a draw at Everton and a win over Crystal Palace in their other two games so far this season.
The result left Stoke at the bottom of the Premier League table, having taken just one point from their opening four fixtures.
Mauricio Pochettino believes his Tottenham players have proved last year’s disappointment at missing out on the Premier League title is already out of their system after they thrashed Stoke 4-0.
Back in April, Harry Kane and Dele Alli combined to devastating effect to leave the Potters trailing in their wake just 24 hours after Leicester had dropped points at home to West Ham and seen Jamie Vardy pick up a two-match suspension. We played some of our best football in the first half but, in the second half, from our set-piece they scored and it was a draw.
“We want and we expect top performances in every game – to play well, score goals – and that is hard”.
“That said tomorrow is more about us because we’re still looking for our first win and it’s important that we get that as soon as we can”. I want to score goals for Spurs and the more the better.
Pochettino added: “Sissoko is a player who can help us a lot”.
And after a low-key start to their title challenge, Pochettino says the win at Stoke proves his players have moved on from last term, when they fell away to finish third after heading into the final weeks as title contenders.

Kane’s 50 goals in 90 matches puts him in some pretty illustrious company.
