Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has defended his record.

Pochettino claimed it is “completely unfair" to judge Tottenham against big-spending rivals Liverpool , Manchester City and Chelsea after warning it will take longer than four years to build a trophy winning team.

He said: “When Arsenal moved after playing in Highbury, people talked about massive problems, they're still paying, and Tottenham, with no history of winning…our glory, I watch the video about the glory, it's with Nicholson. It's black and white.

“And I watch it nearly every week and to create again that feeling you need time. Four years, five years, that's nothing in the history of the club.

“If you want to win, you need to be consistent and consistent and consistent. The most important is to be there. And if you lose 3-0, 4-0 last night and in the first leg you lose 3-0 or 4-0, you say 'eh, come on, impossible'. But we are close, we are close…

“Remember, we were unbeaten, 19 games in the Premier League, at White Hart Lane in our last season there. And no one say what it means to move to Wembley to play and create another project.

“But not only this, but we are going to play only one season and then it's nearly two seasons and no one says nothing."
