I thought Poccehtino was supposed to be a good coach. No evidence of that.
He's a coach, not a God-like miracle worker.

sounds like you and the tottenham players had similiar afternoonsFirst game I've missed on TV or at whl in 5 years. Went surfing and lay in the sun on the beach. Think I made a great call!
To add. Players who are lazy and don't have heart won't fit into any successful system.The vast majority of these players will never fit into Poch's system.
That is fucking obvious.
that's the problem, enic just don't have the capital. if the manager wants musacchio and schneiderlin then these are players we should be able to bring to the club, instead he has to make do with cheaper options.
That probably has more to do with Levy than Poch to be fair mateWell Poch had all summer to right sine wrongs but failed.
We kept spectacularly bad players this summer and failed to sign anything worth writing home about.
Surprised that you picked him out of the whole team. There were much worse culprits.
We should have got as much as we could for rose, Kaboul, Townsend and soldado. But instead he decided to keep them.We had itk that Poch, Levy and Baldini sat down and decided the players to bring and what we'd pay. Levy even offered over budget apparently but we still didn't get them. What players do you think we should have got?
And Palace winning at Everton.....
Levy should've also supported him and given him the players he wanted. But bygones are bygones... In Poch, we've got an AVB type manager back (maybe not the real deal, but a marked improvement on Sherwood) - let's see if he's given time to satiate the impatients.
That's bollocks. We turned down offers for rose and Townsend that would have made us £20m or so to reinvest. Other clubs managed to work around the world cup. Is it only a handicap for spurs?No he didn't, we had stacks of players on the books and 15 or so players that were at the world cup, add in a tour of America and it was a pretty fractured transfer window.

They'll be worth nothing next summer.
Davies looks below average and can't even get in above rose. Meanwhile our best left back is in purgatory for no apparent reason.
Walker seems to be "King'd" so we're playing an inexperienced centre back at right back.
The whole summer was wasted. They players on they pitch look shit because they are shit and we missed opportunities to fix that. And that's not the players fault.
Chiriches is really really bad. Gave away four needless corners today, one of which resulted in the goal . His positioning is piss poor, he can't win any battles and his decision making is terrible. I'd rather have Capoue play CB instead of him.
Our next four games starting with next Saturday:
Arsenal (A)
Southampton (H)
Besiktas (H)
Manchester City (A)
That is a very difficult stretch of games for a team that looked as turgid as today. We play anything like what we saw in these last two games going forward and we will lose all 4 of those matches comfortably. Pochettino will have to rise to the challenge and quickly integrate Fazio and Vertonghen together into the starting XI.
I think he would have been more tactically astute than all of them but we'll never know. I really still believe we have a really good team in there somewhere but they require a manager without a pre set philosophy to get the team playing to its strengths our last 3 managers are trying to force a style of play on a group of players it doesn't suit. Either you let poch pick the players he wants and back him with the money or it will be rinse and repeat till a takeover.AVB, Sherwood now Poch. Hmmmm maybe the players need to carry some responsibility? I wanted Frank De Boar, but there's no way he'd get anymore out of this bunch of players.
