Vertonghen insists Pochettino methods will work at Spurs

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen insists manager Mauricio Pochettino's methods will work.

Spurs suffered their fourth home defeat in the league last Sunday, with Stoke City picking up all three points after another lacklustre display in front of the White Hart Lane crowd.

"Pochettino loves to analyse games and gives more tactical meetings [than Tim Sherwood]," he told FourFourTwo.

"He approaches everything in detail and in the end we will profit because of that. He loves a good conversation and detail and I think he is good for us.

"We try to play more from the back, with more pressing and a new formation so it takes some time. We have a lot of players so he needs time for everyone to fit."
