Tottenham Hotspur have lost their last two games are in a mini crisis.

Arsenal player Paul Merson partakes in a drinking celebration after the FA Cup semi final win against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium on April 4, 1993 in London, England.

Paul Merson has told Sky Sports that he believes Mauricio Pochettino must reconsider his Tottenham Hotspur future.

Spurs are reeling after losing their last two consecutive games, a 7-2 defeat to Bayern Munich followed up by a 3-0 loss to Brighton.

The international break comes at a good time for Tottenham.

Merson believes Spurs boss Pochettino must ask himself if he has taken the club as far as he can.

He said: “As a manager you get to certain stages in your career and you can only take a team as far as you can take them. You can’t take them any further. I’m not sure what’s going on at Tottenham.

“There are ways of losing football matches and that wasn’t a good way to lose. If I was the manager, I’d sitting there on Sunday morning thinking, ‘Are these players with me?'”

Pochettino has called out his players this season, and also put the pressure on himself. Nothing quite seems to be working at the minute.

Last week, before the Brighton game, Pochettino fielded questions about his future in the pre-match press conference.

He was quoted by The Mirror saying he wants to be at the club for another five years, a clear statement of intent.

It is doubtful that one more loss to Brighton will cause him to reconsider such a drastic statement.
