Tottenham are bucking a trend, as nearly half of their team is made up of English players compared to the rest of the Premier League, where other teams are around two-thirds imported.

So that's about 40%, as opposed to 35% .

Not bucking very hard, then.

Maybe the Foreign Office should give him honarary citizenship now; and if England wins Euro with our contingent, give him an honarary knighthood.

Arise , Sir Poch.

Give the guy a chance, also a lot of our starters / key players are English not just squad players 5 of our first choice starting 11 are English.

Second in the league and some people are not happy I am sure given time we will bring more players though our accademy in to the first team.

Dier, Onomah, winks, Carroll, CCV, Mcgee, Kane, Ali, rose, walker Trippier, mason, Pritchard (if not for injury). I don't think that's bad.

It was a comment on the Daily Mirror's journalism, not on Pochettino's approach to structuring a squad. It's just a stupid sentence that makes no mathematical sense.

I'm more than happy with the policy of balancing the squad.
