Pochettino is likely to 直面する an FA 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 over his behaviour at the 結論.

"I think I am going to 受託する everything that can happen from the FA. The thing happened on the pitch and I hope that it´s not going (any) その上の."

刺激(する)s remain five points behind leaders Manchester City and Liverpool but 行方不明になるd a chance to put some real 圧力 on the 最高の,を越す two.

"We need to defend better, we need to play better in 所有/入手 to 改善する our 質.

"Never was the game you can say was under 支配(する)/統制する. We create some chances but not enough. In this 肉親,親類d of level, if you want to be a 競争相手 you need to come here and show your 信任状 but it did not happen," he said.

刺激(する)s had won all four 首相 League games that Kane 行方不明になるd and Pochettino said there was a lesson to be learned.

"That showed the most important is the 集団の/共同の. You can 勝利,勝つ, you can lose. Harry 得点する/非難する/20d, I am so happy he is 支援する, that is going to help but no one is more important than the team," he said. (報告(する)/憶測ing by Simon Evans, editing by Pritha Sarkar)
