With Pochettino taking Spurs

What I don't get is why Poch doesn't just cull the players that are consistently letting him down and freeze out the contract rebels once and for all. Bring kids in from the youth side. He's shown more than an ample capability in the past at bringing youngsters through.

Even if it doesn't work out, he won't have to face anything worse than what he's already staring in the face, and at least he'll have tried everything in his hand and gone out all guns blazing.

Whilst Poch has to take the blame , some players as well as Levy need to.

This contract bollix of some players is laughable , the inability of Levy not selling certain so called best players cause he wants 100 mill for a player with a year in his contract is a farce.

It’s obvious Poch don’t know his best 11 , does not have a plan B or C either.

I hope them players are read the riot act tonight and sort it out. Still 3 games with no losses so not a total disaster.

It`s over mate whatever he does it won`t work. He is getting outmanaged by practically every manager he comes up against, and that just from the so called cannon fodder. Newcastle, Watford, Brighton, Leicester, Sheffield United etc all have managers that made Pochettino look like a park manager.

I’d say it’s more the players not adapting or listening to Poch .If he is to have any success we need to go back to what he did at the beginning of his reign.

Edward, if Spurs are not beating the lesser teams at home like Newcastle, Watford, Sheffield United, etc and losing away to practically every other team, then they don`t really have much going for them. It aint changing mate under Pochettino, however much you may be willing him on. It`s finished. Spurs are sliding towards the Championship unless the manager is changed.

I don’t think we will go down but I do agree about Poch having to go know , it’s been great whilst it lasted but it’s obvious the players are not wanting to play for him any more. If he does go or is sacked his still done atop job in my book.

Edward, I absolutely do believe Spurs will get relegated if Pochettino stays. I really don`t see three worse clubs, all the other clubs are capable of winning matches, even Newcastle have put together back to back wins. If Spurs are not winning these supposedly easy home games, they have no chance when the big hitters come to town.

A change now, and the season may yet be salvaged, new manager, new impetus. It is so stale now and the football is awful. Even Kane looked like a pub player today. The manager is taking everybody down with him.

What a strange season the top 4 is done it's the 4 that are there now. Chelsea have nearly double our points after 12 games
Levy has to make a change right now whatever the cost I am afraid it's over and has been for weeks. The players are coasting and unfortunately the manager has to carry the can.
I would go all out for Rangnick former Leipzig guy very experienced and positive. Such a shame it's ending like this as Poch has been a fantastic manager if you forget the last 10 months or so of league form
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely mate, Spurs have a pitiful total of points, and when you think they have played only cannon fodder at home so far. The season is going to get a whole let more painful yet.

Poch has to go. He’s not been able to sort this out in nearly a year. It’s a real shame, but the club is a total mess at the minute

No mention of any trophies, which is what most managers are judged on.

None

Poch needs to stay, he's doing a great job

Sandy, you can't have it both ways. You can't give yourself credit for predicting this downward spiral, when at the same time you're predicting 4 or 5 nil wins against teams we don't even beat, like today.

Poch has to go, I can't see how anyone can see him turning this clown show around, he's been found out, time after time picking the wrong players making subs in the last 5 minutes hoping to change things, I think he is actually trying to get sacked for the pay off, the man is a loser.

"The whole team bar Lo Celso were awful today, especially the full backs, Dier and Kane, misplaced passes, no passion, no effort. They should all have been ashamed to wear a Spurs shirt."
****************************
Really?
Son played very well.
NDombele was doing well till he got injured.
Agree Dier, Davies, Aurier were terrible.
Kane, Sissoko, were tired or off form.
Sanchez average for him.

But totally ridiculous to say nobody but lo Celso played well.

I will agree that the team lacked ideas and there is a mnagement problem. Lucas Moura should have been on maybe as a starter, or certainly second half.

That said, Son should have had a penalty.
And we were saved by VAR .... Hooray for VAR!!!

was never a pen, we were lucky VAR gave us a point.

Double push in the back in the penalty area on a player that has the ball is a penalty

posted on 9/11/19

I agree the football is dire at the moment and has been for the last year or so but talk of relegation is a bit premature, we are 3 points off of 6th place and nearer that points wise than the bottom three, so calm down and let the new players and the ones working their way back from injury bed in and then see where we are

It didn't look a pen to me, obviously in my opinion.

So Sandy, you finally agree that Klopp is a better manager than Poch, and Liverpool are a better team than Spurs?

Sheffield Utd.'s first goal (5 min. VAR!!??) was a good goal! Spurs really lost that game 2-1.
btw: Son is quickly gaining a reputation as a diver, which is going to hurt him in the long run.

Of course I can. This side should be wiping the floor with newly promoted sides like Sheffield United, that they are not, shows you how bad it as become under Pochettino.

I do now, but it has not been that way for most of the decade, Spurs finished above Liverpool six out of seven years, but you were in denial yourselves then.
