Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham manager denies unrest after team dinner invite

0:46 Pochettino says he believes in his squad and does not expect many departures or arrivals in January

“I never was keen on January and I will not change now because it is a tough period or tough few games, I’m not going to change the way I think or see things,” he said.

“We are not going to force anything because we believe the squad is a decent squad. Now we need to be strong our decision was right, because we are suffering a storm now we cannot now change quick.

“Now it’s the time to be responsible. First me and then the players, everyone.

“My opinion, the way I love to work, is that when you take decisions in the summer and then you need to be responsible and then you need to find the way to make that work.

“For me, that’s it. I am not talking about January with anyone. I told the players, for me, January is too far away.

“Because they know me, after five and a half years, that all the rumours and all the opinion, of course we need to respect all and we respect all, but what is going to happen sometimes is the complete opposite that people are saying.”

After such a poor start to the season, which has included a Carabao Cup defeat to League Two Colchester and a 7-2 humiliation against Bayern Munich, Pochettino says that even if he wanted to, a January fix would be too late.

“Now is not a point to talk about January, refreshing the team,” he added.

“Now is about trying to find solutions because we need to win tomorrow and we need to win after tomorrow.

“We need solutions now. We cannot think, ‘OK, we forget now and in January we are going to fix the problem’. It’s not like this.”
