Mauricio Pochettino has come under some pressure at Tottenham Hotspur after their poor start.

According to the Daily Mail, Danny Rose showed his backing of Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino by playing a lead role in organising a team meal in midweek.

Rose took it upon himself to schedule a meeting with his Spurs teammates and management staff on Thursday, as they look to build bonds again.

It is suggested that the night out was arranged in attempt to show Pochettino that Tottenham’s players were behind him.

Rose’s own form has come into question this season, but the Mail claim that he is one of the leaders in the dressing room, and his backing should have meant a lot to Pochettino.

Spurs actually appeared to be willing to sell Rose in the summer, with the left-back not part of the group who went on their pre-season tour.

Rose has since won his place in Tottenham’s defence back, but his form this season has been poor.

The £20 million full-back (The Sun) has faced criticism for his showings, and it may be that he is taken out of Spurs’s starting line-up sooner rather than later.

Rose struggled badly in Tottenham’s last match against Liverpool, which has led for increasing calls for Ben Davies to be given a run in Pochettino’s team.
