He got the shock of his life with the quality of the players he inherited. Zero football IQ, heavy first touch, shit dribbling skills, shit passing.

He must be very impress of Pochettino, that Poch was able turn these group of shits (except Lloris) into world beaters...almost

I disagree. The biggest problem with this squad is their commitment. They like to stay in their comfort zone. Once he cracks heads he'll realise he has about 10 players he can use. The rest can go.

That second Vitesse goal was a trademark display of the team's ineptitude in controlling the outcome of a football game. Abject terror, self inflicted.

Eh? Poch had prime Jan, Toby, Eriksen to start with.

I can see 10 players "He can use" but not 10 players that are of the top level to succeed. He needs to bring in at least the same number to get anything out of this squad to take us to the next level. In his 18 months tenure that is probably three transfer windows. I think it will take more than that but at least we should be going in the right direction.

Such a shame we didn't get him for preseason. That's a huge waste of time. Won't be next season before we see the real Conte Spurs.
