Tottenham
Hotspur Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino has been awarded Premier League's
Manager of the Month for February, and Southampton's England international goalkeeper Fraser
Forster was awarded as player of February.
"I am not worried -- I know the circumstances," he said. "We need to accept some periods during 10 months that we will have good and bad times. We have always had things good.
"We
need to accept some periods during the season, 10 months, that we will
have good and bad times. We have always had things good. It has only
been in the last few games not so much.
"The players are very sad
but we have to take the positives. We have a big challenge against Aston
Villa on Sunday. We are in a very good position in the league and we
will do our best."
Pochettino has now claimed the Manager of the
Month award three times since arriving in the Premier League with
Southampton in January 2013.
Forster, meanwhile, took the Player
of the Month prize after he kept three clean sheets to help Southampton
to two wins and a draw from their four games in February.
Forster, who made his first appearance of the season on Jan. 13 after 10 months out with a knee injury, drew wide spread plaudits for his performance in the 0-0 draw against Arsenal on Feb. 2.
The
27-year-old then helped Saints to successive 1-0 wins over West Ham and
Swansea, extending his run of clean sheets to six games, before the 2-1
loss to Chelsea at the end of the month.
Forster, who has three England caps, went 708 minutes without conceding.
"It's
obviously fantastic to win the award, but it's just another incentive
to keep working hard and work as hard as I can until the end of the
season," the former Celtic keeper told Southampton's official website.
"I'm
obviously delighted to receive the award. Personally it was a good
month for me, and as a team it was a great month as well.
"I think it was a good month all round. We put in a lot of good performances as a team with a good run of clean sheets.
"If you're doing that then it's easier to win games."
