The Mauricio Pochettino thread

swarvsta · May 7, 2019

His English is not bad, but he still gets lost in translation a lot. I think he is a very humorous guy, but sometimes his humour doesn’t carry across correctly when he is speaking English.

He’s played a blinder, all the press will be all over those comments now right up till kick off and will take all the focus off the players. He knows exactly what he’s said and he does it so well to protect the team.

I find the whole ‘we’ve been lucky thing’ a bit odd. For years we bemoaned not having the character and determination to win when we’re not at our best, and now that we do so it’s luck?

It’s a very competitive league where all but the bottom 3/4 clubs are littered with very good players. Callum Wilson has better combined league goals + assists than any Spurs player yet plays for Bournemouth. Zaha is one of the highest rated attackers in the league, he plays for Crystal Palace. Southampton have players like Redmond and Ward Prowse who would not look out of place in all but the top two squads. We play in a very high level league, it just so happens that Manchester City have enormous quality in depth and Liverpool have ridden the crest of a wave Leicester style.

We’ve scored the fourth most goals and conceded the third fewest across 37 games so far. That’s not a team who is lucky, that’s consistency (even if the quality hasn’t always been there). If anything, our awful recent form, which I believe owes primarily to our unimaginably bad injury record, skews our performance statistics negatively and a greater argument could be made for us being unlucky, but the reality is that we’ve lost points we shouldn’t have too often to make that argument too.

If we’ve achieved top four (potentially top 3) for the fourth successive season, and are ranking high on both attacking and defensive stats, then we aren’t lucky, we are hitting par.

Vintage leGin, suggesting he’s about to have the transfer window of his life

It’s sounds like something similar that I’ve said in the past, that I’d give up football if I saw us win the league.

It doesn’t mean anything

Here is the video of him explaining his answer.

How is that anything other than concerning?

JCRD · May 7, 2019

Nah nothing concerning

If we win the CL its like what the fuck moment

We scurry around worrying about Poch at the end of every season. It could mean a number of things

TBF, if he wins us the Champions League and then tells us he wants to leave, I'd thank him for his work and wish him well for the future.

I normally tend to pay little attention to his conference musings because of him largely being misinterpreted due to language barriers etc. But there's no ambiguity within the above clip. He even emphasises his point with a "for sure" at the very end.

Really bizarre on the eve of such a huge game for everyone associated with the club.

"And that, is destiny fulfilled"

John48 · May 7, 2019

Job & knock it seems.

CL my jobs done, let's hope he gets the chance to say that.

A bit bizarre but he’s probably taking the piss out the situation that we’ve been decimated by injuries for half a season and we could win the CL. It would exceed all expectations. I think he mentions talking to Daniel which to me signals that if he ever achieves it this year, he’d need greater investment for the future to go even further.
Ultimately, I’d be shocked if he meant it exactly at face value

SpunkyBackpack · May 7, 2019

I think i'll worry about it after we win the Champions League

I don’t think I could cope with the meltdown on here. I’d have to find real friends that weren’t Tottenham nutters

phieffect · May 7, 2019

I think he means it would be so shocking for us to win the CL with the way the season has gone that he would never be able to top that
In any case i'm not that worried about him leaving

I think a lot of it is about lost in translation

How long do you reckon it’s gunna take before someone opens a thread “would you rather Win the CL and lose poch or lose CL and keep poch?”
