Tottenham Hotspur deserve to be criticised for a lacklustre start to the season which should serve as a wake-up call, manager Mauricio Pochettino said on Thursday.

Spurs, who play his former team Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, dropped to seventh with eight points from six games after losing 2-1 at Leicester City last weekend. They trail leaders Liverpool by 10 points.

“During my five years it has all been praise for Tottenham,” he told a news conference. “Now we deserve to be criticised and we accept that.

“The fans are right to criticise. Sometimes critics can make you realise you need to wake up. You need to accept the criticism. Damage has happened that we need to fix.

“We are, at the moment, fixing problems to try to be better and get the results we expect. To win the games. We're not so far away. Our performances are not as bad as the feeling creates. I’m sure that we are going to start to win games, we need to find the solution.”

Spurs have been guilty of squandering leads in recent games but Pochettino said most of their results have been decided by fine margins, stating that the north London side could have moved up to third place had they beaten Leicester. (ESPN)
