Mauricio Pochettino has assured Tottenham fans that he is fully committed to turning their season around.

Spurs have won just two of their opening eight games in all competitions this campaign and went out of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday when they lost on penalties to League Two Colchester.

They are already 10 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool and Pochettino admits he is hurting - but says he is determined to lead a revival.

He said: "Football for me is about the glory.

"There is nothing more important than the glory.

"When you win, how you feel ... there is not another thing you can find like it.

"Of course I am suffering. This is my sixth season here and I am in an unbelievable environment.
