Pochettino's quiet revolution has supporters excited about the future

[garryparkerschest]

With all eyes on Jurgen Klopp at White Hart Lane, it's his opposite number that has been working wonders under the radar

Personally Pochettino has been my favorite manager since Jol and his unassuming nature and focus on the job deserves great credit.

The dignity that he deals with situations has the same appeal to me as the brashness and confidence of others.

In Poch I trust

Best part of the article for me...

There are better teams than Spurs right now, but that’s OK. Because what they have under Pochettino is more important than that. At a time when fans of Premier League sides feel disconnected from multi-millionaires who are only at team because their agent couldn’t convince another club to pay them more, Tottenham have a core of players that their supporters can identify with.

Always nice to have an article detailing our rise. Too often followed by the inevitable. Come on Poch, hold it together!

Think we need to see a full season with what is now his team before making a judgement, or comparrison to any former manager.

So far, so good i.m.o.

A really good sensible Manager and a credit to the club. He has built a terrific team spirit, always appears humble and is getting on with things without any bravado. Nice guy. At long last we have a Manager that not only appreciates the fans but also shares our aspirations. Long may he reign.

From what I've seen of Poch I'm impressed but so far we've done nothing. We know we don't have the cash a few of our rivals do but we have some gifted youngsters who could become greats. I'm sure Kane will make it as a world class player (not there yet but not far off) and Alli, Eriksen, Son, Dier, Mason and Bentaleb could get there too. We haven't had many players that good in recent years only Modric, Bale, VDV and Lloris so if we can get three or four at the same time we can go for titles. It's not easy though and we need to back Poch to help him get us there. I underestimated the effects of clearing out the dead wood in the summer but I can see the progress.

Just watched an interview with Sir Alex, and it struck me that do much of what he was saying was key to his success at United rings true with Poch, if he could emulate even a fraction of what SAF achieved it would be incredible.

I would say at least one more season after this before we start flinging judgements about, there are a lot of young players with a helluva lot still to learn, so I would say don't judge at the end of this season, see how the big picture is looking as a painter would whilst building the layers on a canvas.

If you want to listen to something hilarious, then listen to The Press Pass from the weekend Rodgers was sacked. There's faint praise for us from the two hacks, and then verbal onanism about Liverpool. The best bit is the near certainty that Ancelloti would be coming, not Klopp.
Pochettino is the canine's gonads.

Tend to agree with Gaz_Gammon here: "So far, so good"....but it's awfully early - even for an evaluation of this season.
Anyway, I too am hopeful.

 

[longtimespur]

He seems to be doing the right things and definitely saying them. Another season and 2 more windows before I judge him.
Let's see how he copes this season with our mountain injury list as well.

I really like his persona and playing style when it's in full operation. Chelsea, Arsenal last season and Man City this are the bench mark we should be aiming for.

The culture Poch has/is creating is really getting me excited and it's been a while since I've connected with a Spurs side (Probably since Harry). Under AVB, Sherwood and to an extent during last season, as a fan I felt distant from my own team. Usually I would find myself having a few favourite players, but in recent years I couldn't less about them. Now I'm finally back to the way I was under Jol. I love Dier, Alli, Kane, Toby, Eriksen....the list goes on. Feels like we're back in 04/05 when we had Carrick, Keane, Naybet (legend), Ziegler etc and there's a real buzz about the place.

Whatever happens this season, I'll be grateful to Poch for giving me my love of the game back.

Klopp signed a three year deal, so i would expect that Liverpool would want to see some progress in season two.

I would hope that Levy would too with Poch. It shouldn't take over a hundred games to see an improvement in style, league position and success from any quality manager.

Poch signed a 5 year deal though. That would suggest that perhaps levy is willing to be a bit more patient. Especially as he got 5th in his first season so to see a improvement on league position (as you stated above) would mean levy would expect CL next season.

Just my humble opinion but I doubt levy will sack Poch if we don't get 4th

Shit manager; bring back Tim.

You're a bit touchy today.

Firstly, I didn't say you did.

Secondly your post was about how you'd hope Levy would want to see progress much like the LFC board will with Klopp in his second year. I pointed out the differences in the situations, namely the length of contracts for each respective manager and our 5th place finish last season would make it hard to achieve higher than that.

The way the two clubs are heading forward are completely different, you can't compare, the scallies have already spent £300m on supposedly finished article players, we've bought young potential. So anyone would expect Klopp to get results out of more experienced players quicker than Poch embedding a system and philosophy with his first batch of young players, remember, last season was more about laying foundations behind the scenes and sorting the wheat from the chaff.
