Mauricio Pochettino, who watched his team's performance at Anfield from the stands, believes that his players deserve more from those matches, but now urges to forget the painful defeat and focus on the fight for the top four.
Tottenham lost to Liverpool 1-2 on Sunday in the dying moments of the game. Despite leveling the score, Spurs players had several great opportunities to take the lead, but ultimately ended up being punished themselves.
"It's not easy to come to their fortress and dominate against them," - said M. Pochettino after the match. "After conceding the first goal, they didn't give us much trouble. The first half was quite difficult, but in the second half we played with much more confidence."
"It hurts to lose in this way, but I am happy because the emotions are quite positive. I feel that today we should have achieved more.
Now we have a short journey in the league. We have seven games left to play and so far we are in the top four. Everything is in our hands for now.
Despite all the circumstances, my players are more than heroes. We need to continue to trust each other and continue the fight for a place to play in the Champions League next season.
"It is very important for the club to be among the top four strongest teams in England at the end of the season," - added M. Pochettino.
