Why because people are prepared to ask questions. I thought that’s what a forum was for. A place to debate different views. Not somewhere to shot people down because they don’t agree or question your viewpoint.Fucking hell, we've got some absolute clueless jokers on this forum.

But are you just classing bad results as losses, or hammerings?
Theres no shame, and not really anyone to blame if we lose matches to these clubs but put in good performances.
With our next 3 games being United Liverpool Arsenal. Every single combined xi will have more spurs players against all 3 of those teams. If we were to fail miserably would people start to question Poch? Not saying sacked but seriously question. Honestly interested to know peoples feelings.

Pochettino's management and coaching is the reason behind that. We haven't spent anywhere near those clubs to get to this level.
If Kane leaves it'll likely be for a world record fee. His parents couldn't have even dreamed of such headlines in the summer of 2014.
If Rose leaves it'll be likely for £40m+. Not bad considering pre-Poch he was seen as a man with two left feet whose contract renewal was met with dismay.
If Rose leaves we have Ben Davies who has already been our left back for the best part of a year. If he's so good then why did we have a free run to sign him for £10m (half of which was for Vorm)? That summer Luke Shaw was sold for a world record fee for a teenage player. Who was Shaw's manager proceeding that? Mauricio Pochettino.
Alli and Dier cost a combined total of £9m.
Wanyama £12m - Poch brought him to Southampton before that too.
Toby - £12m.
Plus other players like Jan, Dembele and Lloris who were lackadaisical before but whose talents finally met long term consistency under Poch.
Plus players no longer here. Kyle Walker was always a top talent but it was under Poch that he became the star right back in the country. Pep bought the ready-made best for £50m and is getting performances worth that outlay. Such genius!
I don’t know why you let it wind you up so much mate, opinions are like arseholes.
Plus what people say on here has absolutely no bearing on anything whatsoever.
Just either debate a discussion or walk away, if you think something is stupid why even bother engaging?
I mean unless it’s to debate the persons discussion point it’s kind of worthless words that will fall on deaf ears.
Unlucky, @mark_2017 - a few seconds too late (only found out you deleted it as I rated it 'funny').
Fair enough, personally though if the players have put in a shift, and there are no glaring tactical errors, I don't see the point in attempting to blame anyone...seems pretty pointless.My point is, people always have the right to ask why we have lost or drawn a game in the same way they can ask why we won a game.
They can ask what player made the difference or assign blame to an individual or a collective in the same way they can solely blame the manager for a result or praise him for a win, it works both ways.
A bad result for me is a result where we have obviously failed to play at our maximum potential for whatever reason that may be, either tactical or collective etc (Newport game prime example) I can stomach a game where we play well but simply lose to the better team on the day.
However, in my experience that is rarely the case in football, most of the time the reason a game is won and lost is down to the tactical balance, there are ways to prevent teams with better players from winning games, tactically we can be very naive sometimes and other times we can be fantastic (Real Madrid game prime example.)
Anyway, my point is, people have the right to assign blame in the same way they have the right to assign praise.
Any more incredibly pointless posts from you whilst you're there?

But this is by the by, its ridiculous to question Poch about results vs better resourced teams, unless the performances are bad, we have no right to be beating them.

Spot on. In a hypothetical world, three losses in a row over the next games will put Pochettino in the spotlight and rightly so. I don't think we will lose all three matches, but if that will be the case, it would be rather grave. It's OK to sit now and say "oh I won't question him", but losing to all of Arsenal, Liverpool AND United over a fortnight, it is not excusable.Because that’s how life works? If someone fucks up on a job then they are held accountable for it, the buck has to stop somewhere doesn’t it?
Do you live in a fairytale world where nobody should be blamed or held accountable for anything?
You are quite sensitive though mate so it wouldn’t surprise me if you think that’s how the world works, not everybody wants to live in a world where they get their belly scratched for doing a shit job.

Edit: To my lovely fan boys hanging on m y every word, probably we won't lose all three so we'll never know. I hope. But if we do, you won't be have the last laugh, I can assure you.
It will bother me, and more to the point, it will bother the entire media and maybe even some of the players. You always win some and lose some in football, that is life. But it is very rare for a top 4 aiming club to lose three in a row. And three decisive matches, too! Runs and streaks matter in football, and three losses in a row for Tottenham against any opposition is bad. It's unavoidable that it would lead to "questions".It doesn't matter whether it's over a fortnight or over 6 months. It's the same amount of points. It will bother me no more if we lose to them in a fortnight than if we lost to one in August, one in September and one in April. Neither scenario would make me question Poch.
As long as he keeps doing every single thing opposite to what @Bus-Conductor wants then I'm happy.
