Pochettino too nervy to enjoy thrilling Spurs performance on home debut

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he couldn't enjoy their victory over QPR because he was so nervous!

Spurs thrashed Harry Redknapp's QPR 4-0 on Pochettino's home debut.

The Argentine said: "How good were we? I don't remember! I was very nervous for 45 minutes.

"No, I'm joking, but you are always so focused on the game.

"Only when the referee whistles to say the game is over, I relax. I think we played well.

"You can never get perfection in football. But we were very good.

"I think we played well. It's the way we can play.

"We have players who can play in this way, and just need belief. I was very happy with the whole game. We deserved this win."
