“Credit to the players, that’s what we are at the moment – we have to be resilient in games and looking to get things”, he said.

“When one player is missing, it gives an opportunity to another player to bring his skills, his energy, his qualities and his strength. We need to wait for the diagnostics”.
“We have a lot of worldwide players”.
“We had a couple of good chances ourselves as well, but it wasn’t to be”.
And while Spurs have refused to put a timeline on his return, multiple reports say that he will be out for at least two months.
“We didn’t today and we were punished so it is fine margins, but we’re in it as a team and we will keep working hard for each other”.
It was a hard fought victory for the League One side, as they took the game against the Premier League opponents to extra time before striker Bradley Dack scored the match victor in the 102 minute to score a famous victory and set up a tie against Spurs.
Tottenham’s victory over Sunderland saw them go third in the Premier League and came after manager Pochettino had accused his players of a lack of passion following their Champions League defeat by Monaco last week.
Kane scored the only goal of a match Spurs dominated in the 59th minute but hurt his ankle in a challenge during the closing stages with Sunderland defender Papy Djilobodji. Janssen has already made one start this season and has appeared as a substitute another five times, so he’s not coming into the team cold or without match fitness.
“It’s a big loss for us but that happens in football sometimes. Yes, but you know it is only the truth”, Lloris said. After this game we’ll see his physical condition.
“He is in a very good mood”.
“It was a good result”, Pochettino said.
“No [we don’t have to change our tactics], we have another proper striker like Vincent Janssen who can do the same”, Pochettino told a press conference. I think he’s 22.
“For him last season was tough for him”.

“I prefer that you talk a bit more about his performance because it’s not easy. We’ve got to get better – the goal was a gift”.
