Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham's players must stick together and challenged each of them to "be a man" in order to bounce back from their humiliating 7-2 Champions League hammering by Bayern Munich.

The Spurs boss will today hold an inquest into Tuesday's embarrassing Group B loss at the hands of the Bundelisga champions.

Bayern blitzed the stunned hosts with five second-half goals, four of which were scored by former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry.

"After a result like today, it's so important to stay calm, you're not going to fix nothing shouting or talking when the emotions are on the skin.

"The most important is to stay calm, no rash analysis, no rash assessment, it's so important now to take a few hours to see what happened."

Pochettino, who guided Spurs to last season's Champions League final in Madrid, also repeated calls for the club to establish objectives.

"I told you a few months ago that it's going to be a tough season," he said.

"For me, after the final of the Champions League it was a chapter closed and now the club is in a period that they need to open another chapter and design a project, medium or long-term.

"It is not because the defeat (on Tuesday) is going to change my opinion."
