Pochettino: Reputations won't count at Spurs

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is demanding better from his underperforming players.

Pochettino won his first four matches in charge at the club, after taking over in the summer, but has since lost two and drawn two.

When asked if reputations meant anything to him, Pochettino replied: "No, I select the team, but they, the players, show me.

"They are not different. We have 25 or 26 players and they are all in the squad. If I decide you play, you play, but the name is nothing for me when I pick my team."
