Tottenham boss Pochettino: It's a massive disappointment for everybody...

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits playing their home games at Wembley is hurting them.

Spurs still have no date for the move into their new stadium and are booked into the national stadium for all of their games in February.

"Our thought was to play in September from the beginning of the season in the new stadium and now we are in February and we don't know if we are going to play there," Pochettino said.

"Of course, it is a massive disappointment for everybody. First of all for Daniel (Levy) and the board, that they cannot deliver the job on time.

"Then you can see for our fans at Wembley every week that things are going down and down and down because people are disappointed with the situation.

"And of course, that affects the team and everybody. That is why it is my responsibility to be positive and optimistic.

"My job is to call to the fans to give the last push that we need. The club needs the help of the fans because they are the core and the soul of the club and this is a massive moment.

"I know I can ask for more, but all together we need the last push to finish in the top four or maybe be a real contender.

"Then, playing in the Champions League is an exciting moment for the club."
