Ready Whenever Mauricio Pochettino Picks Me, Spurs Star Insists

Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday handed Watford a 4-0 bashning at a sun-drenched White Hart Lane.

Cascarino believes Tottenham's number 16 would also be a mainstay in most Premier League sides and is unlucky to be rivalling Walker for one slot in the Spurs side.

Three quickfire goals from Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Son Heung-min towards the end of the first half put the hosts in control of the contest before Son added his second of the game to cap off the scoring after the interval.

Spurs have been Chelsea's closest challengers for the Premier League title this season, with Spurs now second in the table and seven points behind the leaders.

Victor Wanyama will be assessed ahead of the game after missing the win over Swansea with a back injury while Hugo Lloris is also still a doubt after illness kept him out of the trip to Wales. What happens with Chelsea this afternoon is their problem.

Watford's last win against Tottenham in any competition was a 3-2 League Cup triumph at White Hart Lane in 1994, although they lost 8-6 on aggregate. After 18, 20 minutes we read the game very well, started to control it, create a lot of chances.

"We're more strong with (Kane) healthy and ready to fight again for the team". But football is a collective matter.

The hosts created several other chances without really hitting top gear, although Raheem Sterling tormented Hull throughout. Jesus Navas playing at right-back has been one of the more surprising decisions Pep Guardiola has made this season.

Pochettino was then asked what was the final ingredient his young, promising team need to become Premier League champions, and he responded: "Patience, time and maybe luck".

"Their manager deserves most of the credit", he said on Sky Sports. "We will try to be there if Chelsea fail". Then the second half was very hard.

"I'm still upset because I wanted to score a first hat trick in the Premier League but I'm really happy to get three points", he said.

"The third goal cut our legs completely".

"What Harry means for the team is a massive boost for us and it's fantastic news".

"They are phenomenal, great players with good technique and in good physical condition". He is very good and believes in the way he plays. Obviously it's good to have Harry back - I'd like to say that - but Sonny's done well and Vincent [Janssen] too, when he's come in. He said every player must feel important and part of the project, otherwise it's hard to win titles.
