Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says Emmanuel Adebayor can count on his full respect.

Adebayor criticised the atmosphere at White Hart Lane after his last Tottenham appearance at the start of November.

"I think the fans love a good player and Ade is a fantastic player," said Pochettino. "In football, the mood changes quickly. When you have lost you are upset, our fans are upset, the players are upset and I was upset. After I think we have only one objective and that is to take Tottenham as high as possible. I think this is in the past. I think we forget this situation.

"I have full respect for Ade because he's a great player, a great talent but now I need to stay with him and give him the space. It's not a nice moment for him and my job is to help him too."
