Are we talking about Harry Kane or Harry the guy who pimped himself for England job whilst managing Spurs, then got QPR relegated with loads of investment and then got thrashed 4-0 a few weeks ago at WHL?

But he's the one who selected these players and gave them the instructions!?!?
Surely He has to take part of the blame as well...

A long and traumatic season ahead for us I fear...

Exactly. He had a "well wtf are you guys playing at???" look on his face.
He's on a learning curve with the scope of these players and their inconsistency.
And he can't fix our problems until he actually sees what's at the heart of them and yesterday he got a clear display of the shit mentality that has plagued this team for so long.
He's got a season to sort them out or ship 'em out.
Totally unacceptable display - half-arsed and half-hearted. From his point of view, seen as though it's new to him, he's got to 'nip it in the bud' right now!

Spot on. The team looked complacent from the off, but selecting Kaboul and Vlad seemed to suggest that WBA would be no threat and we could save Vertonghen and whoever else for the Emirates.

Don't disagree with any of that. I think you are spot on. He has a massive job to do, but how have we gone from almost being contenders (somewhere between the Harry and AVB 'eras') to where we are now (i.e. on yesterday's display, in big f@cking trouble)?
By the way, is that what your giving him - a season? Or do you reckon Levy has him on a shorter leash? What's "acceptable" to the board this season? What's acceptable to the fans?

This gutless performance had nothing to do with Pooch imo.
The players are just spooked by the take-over talk.
But if they are concerned that Pooch will get the boot under any potential new owners, they are going the right way to ensure he is long gone before that saga concludes.

I think it will take a season and another summer window for him to have what he wants here. I think Levy will give the season (if he's learned anything he'll give him 3!).
I'm positive poch will sort them out eventually though. If they don't deliver he'll get rid...as long as shinehead doesn't interfere.
I can see Paulinho, Townsend and Lennon on the market in Jan.
We also need to get Yedlin in in jan if poss. Bring through Mason and Ceballos and take a good look at our other fledglings with genuine desire and hunger for the game.
Too many players become comfortable too quickly.
Poor Pochetto; another coach having to put up with the bunch of losers that make up Spurs so-called football team. He just doesn't know what to say any more.
Pochettino made a statement by getting rid of three fans favourites in Sandro, Dawson, and Holtby who were also obvious dressing room influences too. We now have a talented but bland group all waiting for the next guy to step up. Pochettino now has to earn his money getting this lot fired up.

Sorry, mate. Have to disagree there. Any talk of a takeover is premature and anyway, it should have zero impact on player morale, the dressing room psyche and on-field performance. That's just an excuse - and yesterday's performance was inexcusable.
Don't turn your anger on to the most successful manager Spurs have had since Nicholson.
Even if, as it seems to be fashionable on this site.......you see, you say nothing original and just prove you are a follower with not much to say about anything.

Yeah, what's happened with Mason? Seemed to get a decent run in preseason and did OK. Hasn't had a look in yet in the league! Surely deserved a chance against Partizan? Or is he injured?
Sherwood, even though unliked by many (including me), was an ass-kicker who got results....do the same Pooch.

To put a little perspective on things, if we'd won, we'd be in third.
The equaliser at Sunderland was undeserved, as the performance was otherwise excellent. If we'd held on there and won today we'd be comfortably in second a point of Chelsea.
It is very early days to say the least.
This was thoroughly disappointing however, and I hope Poch whips them into shape for it. Better to stamp out complacency early and find out who has the right character to fight for every game.
So far this season Eriksen has not performed well and Adebayor needs to keep scoring if he is to maintain his place in the team. He should have buried a simple header in the first half to put us 1 up.
After a good start things have gone off the boil a little. The North London Derby should get everyone fired up.
