Mauricio Pochettino revealed his Tottenham players were so disappointed with their draw at Everton that they ditched their post-match routine of listening to music in the dressing room.

Spurs were dominant at Goodison Park, especially in the first-half, and were angry to drop points in their unlikely Premier League title bid.

And Pochettino says his young squad's disappointment is a good sign going into the second half of the season.

“The players are very disappointed in the changing room,” said Pochettino. “Always after the game, we play some music. But today we are very disappointed because we feel we have dropped two points.

“This is good, this is very good. I feel very proud about this squad.

“Maybe tomorrow we will analyse the game and we will feel happy about the point. But today our feeling is that we dropped two points.

“This is a very good sign for the future. We are the youngest squad in the Premier League, but we showed our winning mentality.

“I think that in the way we are, all can happen. We believe in the way we play. We are very ambitious.”

“We definitely feel we could have won,” he said.

“It shows how well we’re doing to come away to Everton and be disappointed with 1-1. But it was a good effort.”

Phil Jagielka was on the home bench after recovering from his knee injury, but Roberto Martinez says the Everton skipper is still not ready to start after being out since October.

“No, he’s not fit,” he said. “Today he would have been fit for 15 minutes maximum. For us it was important to have the figure of a captain who could give us a comfort feeling.

“The FA Cup third round next weekend is a more realistic target to start.”
