The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Spursy2j]

You're a season out of date

nope we lost so much momentum then.

If anyone truly believes we would have won/will win a trophy with Mourinho, they literally have not watched Tottenham Hotspur for years. We’re mental midgets and have always been. With a manager like Mourinho in charge, it might even be worse.

 

[WePlayWednesday]

Laurent Blanc is available...

"Another". Who was last the big manager to come in?

The last one, technically

 

[werty]

Yeah, I can’t imagine any world-renowned clubs who sack storied managers after a bad run of form.... *cough* Real. *cough* Chelsea. *cough* PSG...

When we've won what they have and give managers the budgets they get then maybe we can compare ourselves to them. Until then...

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Self imposed transfer ban finished this regime. Pathetic

Actually agree with this. That was the moment the club lost momentum.

 

[yankspurs]

If we buy Dybala instead of a DM and a RB I’m going to be pissed
Go and buy Sangare and Atal. Poch needs to now realise we really badly need a DM

We need Dybala, a DM, an RB, LB and 2 CB’s. 6 players. If we dont get a jump on that in January, we’re screwed. Levy’s set us back 2 years. Time for him to begin to make up for it.

A manager who managed juggernauts like Southampton and Espanyol?

Or are you actually talking about the length of his name?

 

[dontcallme]

If we’re patient we can get OGS, if not Sherwood

Yup, all the “feel good” vibes were really dashed. I still remember just being utterly shocked when that first window closed with no signings made despite obvious needs. More crushing than a defeat and I think it’s really left a sour taste in some of the supporter’s mouths which has been hard to overcome.

 

[markiespurs]

I know Levy about as well as you.

Jol and Redknapp haven't done for us what Poch has. If we sack him now it'll look like a knee-jerk reaction to the first run of bad form we've had under him. What kind of message will that send out to the next manager? We're not Real Madrid. We can't just sack a manager and get the next big name whenever we want.

I also think the a lot of the players futures are tied to his. Lloris hinted in the past that he'll go when Poch does and I think a few other big name players will join him.

No way is it a knee jerk reaction to sack Poch. We’ve been very poor since January and he has shown very little to suggest that he knows how to turn things around.

Our run to the CL final really papered over the cracks.

nope we lost so much momentum then.

We nearly won the CL.

People can't continue to blame the thing that actually helped, rather than hindered us.

The squad has a LOT of quality. No excuses from Poch now imo. The subs, tactics and selections are the smoking guns

 

[yawa]

Just don’t think he’s as good as the press make out. Still expect him to go before the beginning of next season.

 

[Spursy2j]

We need new ideas, im not convinced we fall apart now if he leaves. Love from the players doesnt seem to be there.

The last one was AVB

We never turned up in the biggest game in our history, it was poor. Getting there was so good mind.

Sure, but that mentality is starting to look like a Pochettino thing. If he doesn't believe, it'll show in the players

 

[ebzrascal]

I have no idea what Poch is doing we were a better side with 4231 and two defensive players in front of the back 4 why has he gone away from that....

Agreed, its a mess.

We are bottom 3 this calendar year. This isn’t knee jerk. Any other of the big six would have replaced in the summer.

Exactly. And big clubs make big club decisions. From the ITK we've had Levy isn't going to mess around. He wil make that decision if he needs to and it had to be in his mind
