I think people are worried because he is in charge of a team that even we managed to beat twice.I really, really don't get all this flavour of the month thing being attributed to Pochettino. I judge on what I see, not hiding behind little cliches.
There is a very clear way he has Southampton playing, and they're totally consistent in that - week in, week out. That is very much down to the manager and that's what we should be judging him on - the evidence on the pitch.
Its not like a bunch of quality players being man managed very well, and each week its a bit of individual quality that gets them the result, then I could understand it.
Far from it, they have a collective identity, a very discernible playing style that is very pleasing on the eye and and is also dam effective. That's down to the manager, and what's even more impressive was how quickly he was able to get his ideas across.
Flavour of the month? Not a shot in a hell for me.
