Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle feels Mauricio Pochettino is still trying to make his imprint on the current squad.
Hoddle believes Pochettino has not been able with his current squad to play the type of pressing football which brought him so much success at Southampton.
"There's a lot of talent there and the manager will try and get best out of the talent there," Hoddle told PA Sport.
"He's tinkered with it (their style of play), I saw them at home to Everton they were very positive, at Southampton he wanted a tempo and he got it.
"The personnel at Tottenham are different - they won't press as hard. It is something they have worked on at Spurs and something they will try and improve on.
"They have got to put a really good run together (to break into the top four). If you win two or three games in this league and it can turn around. The strikers have to start scoring goals, I think then the team can feed off that."
