Tottenham need to do what's needed in January, admits Mauricio Pochettino

To make matters worse, the likes of Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen’s futures still remains unsettled. However, when Pochettino was asked whether they will be active in the January window, the Argentinian went on to say that the club must be prepared and ready to add players if needed. He also added that while he cannot guess what will happen in the winter window, the club needs to take responsibility.

“We are not going to get any benefit to talk about January, it is too far away, we have got a lot of games to play. That is the structure of the club that is working and thinking and they need to be ready if we need to do something, if not we keep going, but I am happy with the squad, I am happy with the players. Like always, what is going to happen in January I cannot guess today, what happens will happen. We need to take responsibility. But if we win all of the games why will we need to do anything? But if we need something we need to act. But we need to act and stay calm,” he told Sky Sports.

“The most important thing now is to provide calm to the players, they need to recover for Tuesday [against Crvena Zvezda] because it is going to be important to win and build again our confidence. It is going to be tough because the Champions League is always tough. It is not the moment to talk, when the time arrives we are going to take that decision in one way or another. Now is the time to stay all together, all of the squad, with the staff and the fans and try and change the atmosphere,” concluded Pochettino.
