“We never had any doubts about him”, Pochettino said. When there is an action, there is a effect.

“He (Andros Townsend) did not train with the group and he is not available to be selected”. It’s because of Monday.
“It is because of Monday, if you behave the wrong way you always need to pay”.
“I am very pleased with him”. Tottenham though have come to life in the last few weeks winning their last two scoring eight goals and conceding two.
“I am very concerned, honestly, because we are only in November and we have so many players out knowing we go into the Christmas period soon”, said Wenger. “I believe in the Premier League we have a lot of confidence and we want to reproduce it on Sunday against Tottenham”.
Pochettino was a picture of frustration as he kicked the turf disconsolately on the edge of his dug-out, and it almost got worse as Davy Roef raced into the Tottenham box, seeing his shot deflected behind after a fine sliding challenge from Alderweireld.
Garde, who played under Arsene Wenger at Arsenal and left Lyon after three seasons as manager in 2014, will have been impressed by his team’s character at White Hart Lane but Villa are struggling for goals, having scored just 10 in the league so far.
“We are a young squad and sometimes we run a lot and sometimes the effort we make is a lot”.
His swift rise from a Football League player to worldwide recognition is not dissimilar to Kane’s during the past season, and for all that such pressure can be hard for a young player to handle, the forward believes that his young team-mate has the character to cope. “You need to have the responsibility of a professional”, continued Pochettino. Pochettino would have welcomed the same amount of recuperation time between matches, especially given the high-intensity pressing style he demands, but the Argentinian is confident his players will continue to adapt to the schedule they are given. Football can change quickly.
With Spurs now a point clear at the summit ahead of meetings with rock-bottom Qarabag and second-placed Monaco, Dembele said: “It was very important, I’m happy we won the game”.
“However, it was great for Mousa to pull a finish out of the bag and get the three points”.
