Pochettino

Lets hope for a good atmosphere tonight, no reason why there shouldn't be.

Time to get behind the manager...

I can't work out the stick Pochettino seems to be getting from some circles lately. Some of the players he has decided to go with for certain games have raised eyebrows, fair enough, he's trying to work out his best team.

Calls for his head at this stage are unfair.

Remember this isn't his team. It was obvious that the players would struggle to adapt to his system because the manager didn't have a say in any of the previous. He was after Schneiderlin, couldn't get hold of him, so went for the next best in his mould. It will only be these gritty players with quality and football ability that will work in his system. Some of our players haven't got a clue blue between them.

He's trying to do it the right away we can see that. Let's just try to raise the atmosphere a bit. He's got it hard enough working with this lot as it is. The last thing the manager needs is the crowd on his back.
