Mauricio Pochettino hoping for time to complete Tottenham rebuilding process

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that his side are still in a rebuilding process and hinted that he was not certain whether he would be given the time to see it through.

Spurs were held to a 1-1 draw by Sheffield United at home this afternoon to make it five Premier League games without a win and only two top-flight victories since the opening day of the campaign.

The Argentine acknowledged that he is still searching for the right balance to his side and seemingly admitted that there is a possibility his time at Spurs could run out.

"We have to find the balance. We are building a team during the season, competing in the Champions League and the Premier League - the toughest league in the world," Pochettino told reporters after the match.

"That always is dangerous because this type of situation can happen - you expect a better result but you don't get it.

"We are in the process to build - we'll see if we have the time to build what we want."

Tottenham have kept just one clean sheet all season and have now dropped a league-high 12 points from winning positions.
