Mauricio Pochettino had no complaints with the surface at SpotlandTottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted his side had suffered "a difficult day" after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Rochdale in the FA Cup fifth round on Sunday. Pochettino, who apologised for criticising the state of the Spotland pitch before it was relayed earlier in the week, said he had no complaints with the surface. "I'm happy because I think it was a great game and I think the pitch helped to make that for both teams. "The performance deserved at least the opportunity to go to Wembley in a replay," he said. I am very pleased the players have got the reward of a game at Wembley."
