(Reuters) - Midfielder Moussa Sissoko said he was not hurt by criticism from Mauricio Pochettino but instead used his manager's comments to motivate himself to find his feet at Tottenham Hotspur.

The 27-year-old has struggled to establish himself at Spurs since his 30 million pound ($37.34 million) arrival in August and Pochettino suggested the France international has yet to meet his expectations.
