Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino turned on his players after defeat at Stoke City.

Stoke thumped Spurs 3-0 after goals from Charlie Adam, Steven Nzonzi and Mame Diouf.

"I think we were poor from the beginning," the Argentinian said.

"We are very disappointed for our supporters, our club and for us, because the way that we lost the game showed that we need to be stronger and ready to compete.

"You could see in the first half that they were better than us and we gave them the opportunity to score. We were poor."
