The former Arsenal and Manchester City star angered sections of the north London club’s fanbase earlier this season by claiming Tottenham’s players preferred away games because they struggled to cope with the unrealistic expectations of the home crowd.
It was a bold decision by the Tottenham manager which backfired as Adebayor delivered a lacklustre performance before being substituted early in the second half with more jeers from fans ringing in his ears.
“We need to give confidence and hope [to players] they have the possibility to score,” said Pochettino.
“In football you never know. Maybe in the next game he will get a goal and then score many more.”
