Tottenham legend Ferdinand bemoans lack of focus at club

Former Tottenham player and coach Les Ferdinand is urging the board to stick with boss Mauricio Pochettino. Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Ferdinand, who scored 33 goals in 118 games for Spurs between 1997 and 2003, said: "You feel for Pochettino because it seems Tottenham for a long time are trying to change their identity and they have done that now.

"They have done it at the expense of the football club, they have changed their identity behind the scenes and they have changed their identity on the football pitch as they haven't got one.

"No one knows what they do and how they are doing, what style they are playing and what they are doing at the moment.

"Pochettino has come in and inherited players that perhaps he wouldn't have chosen himself but they were there and he has had to work with them and hopefully he will be given the time.

"There is unrest there at the moment because results are not going the way they want but he's come in and needs to change what he is doing and get his own players and once he has done that then you can judge him.

"It's difficult to judge him on the strength of what he has come in to."
