Tottenham have one of the youngest teams in the Premier League with the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Dier all under 23.
Pochettino has fielded the youngest side in the division this season but he does not believe that their age has anything to do with the loss to Newcastle.
"If you want to play for the top the pressure is top but it is not about the age, the first half was one of the best we have played, we are disappointed in the end result," he added.
