Pochettino: Spurs can battle for title but we must remain consistent

By Daily Sports on December 24, 2018

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says his in-form team could be title contenders this season if they can find the consistency that has eluded them in the past.

Spurs, who are third, delivered a sensational performance as they romped to a 6-2 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday to move just two points behind second-placed Manchester City and six behind leaders Liverpool. “No, I still believe Liverpool and Manchester City are the real contenders and favourites to win the Premier League. We are there but [so are] Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United,” said Pochettino.

“I think there is still a long way for me to say we are real contenders. Football is about being consistent of course. If we are able to be consistent and play in the way we did tonight I think yes maybe we could then be a real contender but there is still a long way,” he added. “Now we are close but we need to be cautious, go step-by-step, game-by-game. We need to be conscious about that, we need to fight a lot, and there is still a long way, [we need to] work and to be consistent,” said the Argentine, who has guided Spurs to a top-three finish for the past three seasons.

“Being involved in four competitions will be tough but we are going to try. The mentality today was clear and we need to always think about the next game and try to win every game and to be in the best condition to fight for big things.” (ESPN)
