We will never know. The manager had to make a call on it, and we no more know he got it wrong than we know he got it right.

On the basis that he has performed wonders for us, and has given us a bright future, we have to trust that he did the right thing, and we back him to the hilt regardless.

I think it was a mistake but no manager just never makes mistakes. In the end Poch has proved that he's got something about him.

What I would add to my previous comment, is that overall, his rotation and use of a small (in many areas) squad, has been brilliant. I see that as a further reason to give him the benefit of any doubt on this issue.

The challenge lies ahead now. Having read the article about the salaries of some very good players at Spurs it looks as though all c/l money will be swallowed up on new contracts for Kane,alli,vertonghen,toby and a few others I'm sure. That allied with new funding for the stadium and a manager who will be in demand across spain and England it will be an interesting summer for spurs after a largely successful season if measured by the target at the start.

Spurs should have had their players on drugs as well.
Although not the ones Kyle Walker does regularly.

I think in hindsight with Spurs all but guaranteed CL football for next season, and teams like Man United, Chelsea and Liverpool not, I think Poch probably in hindsight made the correct decision.

Liverpool had the luck of the devil to beat Dortmund at anfield. Pochettino did right - he didn't intend to throw the first match, but the team he selected let him down, badly.
And ..... we still don't yet know how this season will turn out. "It Ain't Over 'Till its Over". Remember that!

We had two competitions to juggle. Whereas we concentrated on the league, and sacrificed the Europa, Liverpool did the opposite.

Fair play to Liverpool if they win it, but it's by no means a done thing. If they don't it will be Thursday/Sunday yet again.

CL football is probably more important to us at the minute, as bad as that sounds to purists. I don't like it myself but it's the truth.

Ifor we are going on hindsight, we should have sacrificed the Fiorentina game. Maybe we would have got 4-6pts instead of 1pt from West Ham and Arsenal, and not been playing catch up

I do think it's a shame this exceptional team will win nothing this year
