The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[wadewill]

Harry got sacked for less than this constant flirting with other jobs

At least H was (poorly) trying to be discrete about it.

Maybe taken out of context but just shut you ducking mouth

1 disastrous result Newcastle FFS!

Yeah, people are this concerned because of 1 bad result.
Good one.

so the shocking run?

Villa 3pts
Man C 1pt hmmm
Newcastle disastrous
Arsenal 1pt
Palace 3pts
Leicester 0pts

if we had got a point at Leicester and lost at City, Newcastle would still be the 1 bad match. the 1 99.999% of Spurs fans would expect the win.

if you're going to harp back to last season, go read that post of mine you questioned me spending time on quoting your funny post. there you will find 9 of the 12 players played fewer league fixtures last season due to injury. from January to May we never once had our strongest 12 available for 1 match. when we were at our best a few seasons back our pivot consisted of Dier/Wanyama & Dembele, from January to May we hardly had Dier, and definitely never had Dembele.

 

[Fidget]

so what was Poch asked?

"if I go coach", isn't exactly the same as "if they offer it, I will go coach Madrid"

yep, you’re right!
“Maybe some year”. Do we need him to tell us? Who wouldn’t? If he said “no” and they wanted him, they’d still come grabbing for him.
Some shit is going on, for sure, in the mechanics of the club vehicle, but whether he, “maybe some year”, will go manage fucking Real Madrid is farcical conversation.

Right so everything is going swimmingly is it?
No problems at the club with the playing staff or the manager?
Forms great, just had injuries?

Jesus Christ have u taken a blow to the head or r u just in denial?

In fact don't answer, if everything is fine at the club for you then enjoy it mate.

we know that players want to move on, the Toby situation has been for a season ½, we know Eriksen wants a new challenge, we know that Poch and Jan fell out, we have known for 2 seasons Rose doesn't really know what he wants. we know Wanyama is the new Dembele with his injuries, only difference is he isn't fit enough to perform like Dembele did.

we know Ndombele is struggling at the moment, and that Dier, Alli, LGC and Sess are or have been injured.

anyone with ½ a brain will know Rose fucked up v Arsenal, I blame him for the Newcastle goal to, he could see everything, Sanchez didn't see their striker. Rose could have called for Sanchez to move up, or made an effort to get back.

people blaming Poch for bringing Wanyama on, I wasn't happy, but he wasn't the cause of us conceding, Leicester are a good team, and worked the equaliser well. the winning goal was a strike from distance, a very good goal.

people in here going on about we are not pressing as we used too.

1, the squad is older
2, Having to cover more ground
3, Not having that CDM to allow us to press higher
4, harder to press a congested half, when teams park the bus
5, less rotation due to playing CL rather than EL
6, Last season not having the squad or fitness

we all knew last season we needed to replace Dembele, we didn't. We need a CDM, we only have Skipp remotely fit to start, Poch obviously doesn't want to throw the boy in yet, so has stuck with the diamond which he used last season when we had no Dier or Wanyama.

I haven't said the form is great, but if you had asked me what I would hope for at the start of the season, I would have hoped for at least 11pts the difference being Newcastle. after getting a bonus from City I would have been happy with 12pts, but again Newcastle and failed to get at least 1 at Leicester. the meltdown in here since Wednesday is hilarious, the bedwetting club

now Poch has said 1 day he might "not will" big difference, your all going OTT

 

[yankspurs]

You are all insane. Take a step back from your keyboards. Look at whose tweet was posted and then begin your backpeddling.

Also, pretty sure we all agreed to stop posting anything from that clown on here this summer. Let’s adhere to that. The guy is a faux news aggregator and an amateur hack who writes his own spin on spurs news.

 

[ohtottenham!]

Might have escaped your attention that he's not doing particularly well at the job we're paying him a fuck tonne of money to do....flirting with other clubs while on a shocking run of form is hardly going to go down well now is it?

Yep, Levy should get either Pep or Klopp! They seem to be the only two whose teams aren't on a "shocking run of form". City and Arse away, we split the points; what did you expect from those games? Came back to win against Villa, horrible against Newcastle, destroyed Palace, unlucky against a good Leicester away. Compares fine with Utd, Chels and Arse in terms of challenging fixtures so far this season.

Poch's been competing against teams that have had far more financial clout than us, made even more difficult because of the financial commitment to the stadium.

He was talking about a "painful rebuild" because our squad needs so many reinforcements due to deficiences in terms of ability, aging players, expiring contracts, players just wanting out, and the simple need for like-for-like rotation without a big drop off in replacement quality.

I agree, we've been stuggling for a while, but I also see the poor squad options due to injuries that Poch has had at his disposal over that period. Still got another top 4 place, and CL Final last season. I would have been happy with that at start of last season.

I don't like hearing some of the ambiguous statements Poch himself has made, or about some of the discontent coming from respected ITKs on the forum. Still, for me, Poch has a hell of a lot of credit in the bank with what he's done for the club. Still in September, whole season to go.

 

[glacierSpurs]

I have been saying he's just trolling us now especially for throwing Wanyama in who has been in a worse fitness than Dier.

And now he's spouting nonsense again in interviews.

 

[Bulletspur]

with our injury issues, I wouldn't give a shit about PR exercises. if he didn't give the competition any form of priority he wouldn't even have Kane on the bench.

Let me rephrase, at the time he brought Kane on with minutes to go was just for PR, but I agree, if he didnt take it seriously Kane wouldnt be on the bench.

 

[glacierSpurs]

With all the unsettling complaints Poch had to the media, did anyone tell him how much worse unsettling he has caused with all his flirtatious comments regards to other managerial jobs?

 

[ohtottenham!]

It was PR for the benefit of Tranmere to bring Kane on at that point. Poch had that comp way down in his priorities, as he should have in my view, given that we had higher objectives and squad limitations.

 

[luptic]

I think the problem at the minute is that the squad has reach and is slowly coming to the end of its cycle.
He talked last year about a painful new rebuild, so when results are not going the way people automatically look at the manager as the focal point of the issue.
Last year we done nothing, and surely then we should have looked at the rebuilding progress, but we didnt. Only now, are we trying to address the issues.
He has a team with some key players, whom he would possibly like to move on, others that wont commit etc. Of course there isnt harmony in the squad. You only get harmony once everyone is happy, like what we seen 2/3 seasons ago.
All teams go through this at some stage, look at Aletico Madrid at the minute and Real Madrid.
Would i want to see Mourinho take over? No chance, its about the now with him. What we have been on over the last few years is a journey, and only now is the foundations in place to grow on the pitch, a knee jerk over-reaction is what is need now.

Just because you have less money doesn't mean your team has to look clueless on the pitch, for the majority of the time.

Yes but when as you say we did nothing whose fault was that levy, poch or both someone has to be culpable for such a poor business decision that leaves your company in a worse place than it was previously.

 

[Stamford]

God almighty!
He said more less:
q "will you couch Real"
Pooch "will I ever coach Real? Maybe, one day,"
You tend to forget that Google translate looses nuances.

How about don't leave it open to interpretation or a bad translation. Just shut it down and move on. Disrespectful to the club

 

[ackie]

I think you're missing the point. I think most people want Poch to stay but if HE WANTS TO GO then that's something else all togther.

And that in itself is the probable root of our problems.

He's pumping himself up and making it known that he will be available for RM.
I don't want him to go but if he does Allegro and Mourinho would be welcomed

 

[Deleted member 29446]

What a fucking idiot, sorry to say.

Is it the 3rd og 4th time he's out talking about other manager jobs?

Now IS NOT the time to be talking about that, especially not when you're having a tough time at your current club.

I'm tired of him, he can fuck right off. I get so angry reading this again and again.

How about no Premier league away wins since Jan son ? So no, it’s not just fucking Newcastle. The teams an absolute mess.

Oh give it a fucking rest. You would spin a positive out of Spurs going into administration. Pochettino has answered a question last night once again saying he would be open to move to Real Madrid one day. The way the club is in a state right now, this is the last thing he should be saying. Ricky Sacks tweeting this doesn’t mean it’s any less concrete. He said it you idiot!!!!!
