Looks like he's been hitting the gym with those mountains for shoulders
He’s gonna be the backup CB

His pressers are frankly a complete waste of time now.
He doesn't want to do them or answer anything, he seems to massively resent being asked perfectly reasonable standard questions, and when he does answer we get Tolstoy-length diatribes and gibberish where he never answers the question anyway.
It's just what he's become these days. Won't know what he really thinks until his next book comes out.
Looks like Pulis sat there in his hat.

Precisely the expression i would use in reference to a rumour mongring jockey who is extraordinarily well balanced whilst being quite stupendous at the dribble.just act like a professional and politely refuse to answer!
don't talk in tongues
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.
Probably bored with generic questions. Same reason I can't usually listen to players being interviewed. Same old boring questions and identikit answers.His pressers are frankly a complete waste of time now.

This is from the horse's mouth, then. To save and then paste in next summer, when we get the usual suspects insisting that Pochettino demands that Levy blast a pile of money on established world-class players or he'll leave.

We'll see how he gets on over the season. Quite frankly, as long as we win matches and progress in competitions I'm not that bothered.Nevertheless, it's his job to answer those questions. Every other manager in world football gets asked the same old stuff every day - it's the nature of the job. Poch gets paid more than enough to stop with the cryptic nonsense and be a bit more accommodating to the press. Being bored is not an excuse.
He hit the nadir when he came out with that "I don't know anything I'm not a manager" nonsense. Absolutely embarrassed himself with that immature stuff.
The best managers cultivate good relationships with the best journalists. As far as we know the only journo Poch is close to is Ballbag.
I don't mind at all if he cultivates a major case of hostility to the whole journo-cadre. Someone needs to say "stop asking me malicious bullshit questions, because I won't answer them" and "if you ask me about transfers again, I will leave the room". It may as well be Pochettino. He's got a lot of natural charm and he's more likely to get away with for longer than his more dour counterparts.
I really have no problem whatsoever if he alienates every cliché-spouting, shit-stirring football journalist in the British press. He should stage a couple of walk-outs at appropriate times. Or just sit there, silently, for a few seconds and then just say "has anyone got an intelligent question?"
He won't, because he's too polite, but we can all see him progressively losing patience, his responses getting shorter-tempered and less communicative.
Chronically paranoid Spurs fans see everything except what's there, which is contempt for his interlocutors.

Poch is a South American with a South American temperament.
He'll be moody sometimes; it's no big deal.
