The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Drink!Drink!]

If it apparently it takes two seasons for a player to be fully ready, why did we have two transfer windows with no signings?
I mean i don’t believe the two year thing for a second, but if that’s the view of the manager what does that say about the way levy and Poch have handled transfer ‘strategy’

 

[spursfan77]

Can’t believe i’m saying this, but i’m actually worried that we will somehow manage to fluke a win against Everton next week as it would be like using a plaster on a gaping wound.

we won’t beat them. We haven’t won away since January and that was a last minute goal by winks against a dreadful Fulham side.

 

[Phil-spur99]

Exactly. If a guy on a forum can see it why can’t one of the highest paid managers in world football

But you’re assuming I’m not also one of the highest paid managers in world football though...

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

The definition of insanity......

This. He’s a messed up guy he contradicts himself left right and centre and has some pretty odd tactical decisions but even more odd answers to normal reasonable media questions, bored of it now and I bet the players are too.

 

[SpursD22]

Too many people think they’re geniuses and question Poch on everything
Why didn’t Ndombele start? Because he would be dead after 30 minutes

Why didn’t Lamela start? Because he was injured

Why didn’t Davies start? Honestly that I can’t understand

Why did Eriksen start? Because Lamela was injured, Lo Celso not fit to start, Ndombele wouldn’t last 30 minutes and Lucas doesn’t defend

Why did we play so defensively? Because we’re playing Liverpool away

Why couldn’t we keep the ball longer? Because it’s hard when you’re playing a side like Liverpool who press so well and aggressively

Why did we only start playing attacking football after we went 2-1 down? Because we had no other choice

If Son scores to make it 2-0 the game could’ve ended up much different and then all you wouldn’t complain but because we lost it’s Poch out and this and that player is shit etc. Calm down
There was positive things to take from the hardest game in the league

And Everton are good at home. They should of beaten West ham by about 6 the other week.

It's actually disgusting that we havnt won away since Fulham.

How the fuck is Levy letting this continue.

 

[Japhet]

Such a stubborn fucker! Saw the team sheet for today and my heart sank. Wasn't as bad as it could have been but then he keeps Eriksen on when he's utter garbage and gives GLC 3 minutes at the end. Can't make any excuses any more. He simply refuses to change what is blatantly obvious. If he can't or won't change he can fuck off. Just please keep that douche bag Mourinho out. Don't think I could bear that.

He never said that though did he.

He said you may not see a players reach their full potential till year 2.

He used Son and Sissoko, as examples.

Fair point. So let me extend that. If over 1000 members on a forum and millions round the world can see it....

I reckon he can’t get Mourinho to take the job and he doesn’t know who else to go for. Remember how he took 9 months to appoint Santini? Also remember Poch was Joe Lewis’s pick and not Levys?

I reckon he doesn’t know who to replace him with and Mourinho doesn’t want the job.

He just doesn't want to pay the £30m otherwise I think he would have acted now.

I would be absolutely stunned if this were the case.

and that Fulham result was a last minute goal job ??#justsaying

 

[Cambridge Spur]

Why do people keep saying Ndombele is not fit??!!! That’s his style of play! He’s a languid type of midfielder, very much in a similar style to Toure at City. “Wouldn’t last 30 minutes”......what utter bullshit. He was great on Tuesday and this was the perfect game for him to carry that form on. I was hopeful after Tuesdays showing but seeing that lineup before kick off made my heart sink. Poch wants to go, let’s put him out of his misery! JOSE MOURINHO, JOSE MOURINHO!

Mourinho blatantly wouldn’t want the job. He can’t spend millions with us.

Poch was Joe Lewis's pick? That's a new one on me. I hadn't realised that Joe was that much of an expert on football.

OH here we go. “ if we did this , if we did that “


Oh fuck off mate!!!! Hate these type of comments. But we didn’t did we ? Son didn’t score and we bottled a lead once again due to Pochettino persisting with that useless **** Aurier despite all of us knowing what a liability he is. To be honest even if somehow Son did score and we went 2-0 up, Spurs would of still found a new way to fuck that lead up because we are so mentally weak under Poch. Maybe you can’t accept it, but some of us can see time has run out. Pochettino out!!!!!!!

 

[heelspurs]

"I think we need to be careful in how we assess..."

I've come to aggressively dislike him.

That's pretty good work for someone that been on here for 6 months and showed up right before the CL final. You hang in there mate. I hear 8 months is the turning point then it's smooth sailing from there.

there was itk at the time, iirc levy wanted de boer but Lewis had friends from Argentina championing Poch

 

[Lighty64]

If Poch was working with a shit squad then I'd be all for giving him time to turn things around.

But it's not a shit squad,far from it, it's a squad that is poorly coached and criminally mismanaged by Poch.

it is when you are playing players that aren't professional and earning their wages. there are 4 or 5 players playing shit every time they pull on the shirt.

I've changed to Poch out, because I would rather play the kids in their place even if it was the same result today, at least they might of bloody tried harder
