Fuck knows what he said to the team today then.If you read Pochettino's book it is very clear what he says to the media and what he says to the team are very different things.

And we're doing at least as well as last season at this point.We've lost in the league three times this season, and we only lost four times in the whole season last year. Not good.
The big games are won in midfield and at the moment midfield is by far our weakest area. Without Winks we are even more exposed. They need to battle out there but what's even more important is that they are calm and fast under pressure. Far too many times when we are pressed we panic and time and time again there is a lack of cohesion we and we give the ball away. Too many touches, too much dilly dallying around and a general lack of awareness.
We are badly missing Wanyama. In midfield Dier is simply not at his level and is needed at CB now anyway. Dembele is looking very rusty and you could say finished these days and Sissoko is quite simply not a long term solution. We're only left with Winks who is good enough currently.
We should go with the midfield and forwards that beat Liverpool until January then bring in another midfielder or recall Onomah at least.
He is on twitter.

If we play like we did against Utd and Arsenal against City we will be in for a slaughtering because they are a far superior pressing team.
Yeah I know, and he’s an utter tool on there too. Don’t condone it, but if amyone desederves it, it’s hey m. He smacked his mrs around so maybe he knows she feels now.

people need to have some perspective. We have some big injury/ fitness issues: Alli, Demebele and Kane did not look match fit today....Winks probably only good for 30 mins of the bench. Arse had their best team, fully fit, at home and two dodgy decisions.
throw out the Spam game.I just realised that we lost 3 of our last 5 games. Two wins were with Real and Palace. I think we can all agree that against CP we were very lucky. Have we all distorted the truth that something is not right with our form, with this Real win?
It shows that taking on Real twice, Pool, Man U and Arse in quick succession takes a hell of a lot out of a squad. Throw in WHAMs (League) Cup final, a Palace who truly gave everything and a succession of niggling injuries + one serious injury to Toby and it's just all got a bit much.I just realised that we lost 3 of our last 5 games.

All clubs get injuries it's how you deal with it and the depth of quality in the squad that gets you over the line, we have to stop using excuses about developing etc it's wearing thin for me.It shows that taking on Real twice, Pool, Man U and Arse in quick succession takes a hell of a lot out of a squad.

We're still developing. There will be more setbacks along the way. Just hope we're top four when we find our groove again.
We absolutely must not drop the "we're developing" line because we are. We're just about the youngest sqaud in the league and we're only in our second CL campaign with this side - and it's already a thousand times better than the first.All clubs get injuries it's how you deal with it and the depth of quality in the squad that gets you over the line, we have to stop using excuses about developing etc it's wearing thin for me.
In the press poch called for a strong mentality ahead of the game nothing wrong with him saying that of course, but his side did not deliver on any level today as is often the case when we play away to the top club's.
