Pochettino: I believe in my entire Spurs squad

Mauricio Pochettino says he fully believes in his Tottenham Hotspur squad.

Spurs recovered from back-to-back defeats to Liverpool and Gent by beating Fulham 3-0 in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday.

Tottenham's depth had been questioned following the pair of losses but Pochettino says this result shows he has a quality playing group

"My intention is always to try and take the best decision for the team and pick the best players," he said after Harry Kane's hat-trick at Craven Cottage.

"It's about quality. I believe in the whole squad - sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It's about managing 25 players.

"[I made my] decision before yesterday's results. After two defeats many players wanted to play - they didn't feel they were tired."
