Pochettino’s words after the game

During the post-match press conference, Pochettino was asked if his team’s performance would improve in time.

Pochettino said, as reported by Football London, “That is a process that you need to think a little bit about... to give time. 

“Today I think we create chances, I think we dominate the game but at the end we were not clinical enough in the last third. 

“We should score if we want to win, and made one mistake and concede a goal. Yes, disappointed but not frustrated. 

“This time in process, always you need some luck in some situation. I don't want to take credit from Nottingham Forest because we knew how they should play but I think we were not clinical in both areas.

“There were many mistakes and we conceded and then we create too many opportunities and we dominate and we played in the opposite half and didn't score. When you don't score, it's difficult to win games.”
