Something I picked up on around 16.30/17.00 he says we didn’t have great conditions in preseason and we won’t see the best of the team until a few months in. He must mean he didn’t have enough time on the training ground with all the players. Eg. Lo celso and sessegnon joining late and there being a few injuries. Quite a telling comment from him there.

We never hit peak fitness til November time. That’s not unusual. And it will take longer for Ndombele, Lo Celso and Sessegnon

I think all managers should learn magic tricks. At least they may be slightly more entertaining than the inane questions perpetually ask!

Only having two members of the squad at a summer tourney and no major injuries means this summer was smoother than most.

Shame the two targets he got at the end of the window were at a tourney or injured, so I reckon he should just get on with it.

Love him to death but he is talking more bollox lately.

On sky he referenced the transfer window in Europe so clearly some players that are linked with moves away haven't settled mentally.

Nothing to be done with Lo Celso or Sessegnon. One injured and one in the Copa. We always take time to bed into a season but 4 points from the first two fixtures is a good return with Newcastle to come.

I this you’re inferring something that isn’t there, I doubt Pochettino feels disadvantaged by 5 fewer days with Lo Celso and our treatment room having to cater for Sessegnon instead of Fulham’s. Clearly he means the early closure of our window, he’s mentioned it many times.

Seems unusually spiky in his PC today.

His rant about not being a scientist when asked if he would experiment against newcastle was odd.

Only read the quotes, but would love to see the video footage of how he said some of this stuff. I think he may be getting annoyed with the journo questions more and more.

Yeah I think I get the feeling his good will towards journalist expired and he's decided on a new approach more recently of not giving them an inch.

not celebrating a goal and talking gibberish

They've asked him about the european transfer window every presser so far, his answer isn't going to change. Why do they keep asking? Would annoy me as well.

just act like a professional and politely refuse to answer!
don't talk in tongues
