Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has warned his side they may have to accept the height of their current capabilities is to be a top-four club.
Spurs were keeping in touch with Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League until recently but failure to win in their last four league games has seen them slip to 13 points behind leaders City.
“The position that we are in is a very good position,” said Pochettino, who had to sit in the stands at St Mary’s as he served the first of a two-match touchline ban for comments made to referee Mike Dean after they lost 2-1 at Burnley last month/
“Of course [we are] disappointed, in the last few Premier League games, we didn’t win.
“But still we are in a position that everyone should sign for at the beginning of the season. It is difficult to predict the circumstances at the start of the season.
