Pochettino excited by his free-flowing Spurs after QPR rout

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with their 4-0 rout of QPR.

Nacer Chadli scored twice in the first half, either side of a second goal in as many Barclays Premier League appearance for Eric Dier, while Emmanuel Adebayor added a fourth in the second-half to take Spurs top of the embryonic table.

"Lamela, Adebayor, Chadli and Eriksen create the movement and rotate - they are free," he said.

"We work a lot on the training ground but it is important that the players are free in their minds because they are creative players.

"You cannot put the players like that in the shade, you need to provide the organisation but after that they are free.

"It is true that Lamela can improve a lot. He is still young and when a young player arrives in a different country it is hard to adapt.

"We all know his skills and we are very pleased for him and for all of the squad - today was a very good day."
