Mauricio Pochettino

[krispur61]

Having Poch stay and signing a contract extension brings cohesiveness, solidarity and above all more confidence in retaining this very good squad of players.
Sure there is going to be ups and downs, this is Spurs.

But the future looks bright, it's gonna be Lillywhite

Yeah, they should be ashamed.

:walkercry:

To be fair, we were poor at the end of last season and the start of this campaign. There were postitive signs but no real evidence that it was all about to click. Quite a few of us were saying he should get up until Xmas but that's it...

Then something happened. Diers new role seems to have been the big factor as all of a sudden we were attacking with numbers without losing defensive solidly - Toby providing the pragmatic foil to Jan's ball playing style. Poch sorting out that dynamic has made a huge difference to the season so fair play to the man, he's the real deal.

Dier and Toby was huge, no doubt. For me the "something" that happened which means more than anything is else is the squad clearence. Paulinho, Kaboul, Capoue, Vlad, Benji, Ade and (I know some disagree) even Lennon very much needed to go. Getting them out - fairly - quietly has been the basis for the squad harmony which again is the basis for everything else.

Trevor Sinclair trying to insinuate on Football Focus that Poch agreeing a 5 year contract is meaningless.

He obviously hasn't paid attention to the mans character at all.

 

[Bazali]

Plenty on here wanted him out. It's pointless naming names, but they know who they are.

I did but I'm still here and now ecstatic he's now staying!!!

I will be smiling even more when Erickson signs as well

E-R-I-K-S-E-N

Please - Eriksen - please for the love of God!!

 

[STF]

If he's still here in two years time I'll eat my own shit.

Good luck Mauricco

Sheer class from the best manager in the league.

And the Sky bastards trying to get him to suck up to Leicester and condemn his own team....absolutely shameful

I love the man but he has to address two things:

Composure: The last two matches have highlighted a frailty in that we allowed ourselves to get riled when teams went nasty on us. Last night looked like we wanted players sent off (Debmbele and Walker were both, as senior players, fortunate to stay on the pitch in the first half alone), whereas in these situations the players, whether it being taking themselves aside and taking a moment, or Pochettino doing so, have to realise that the moment can't get in the way of the long term.

Maintaining leads: This is, mostly, a direct consequence of the above. If the players can retain focus, not allow the opposition to dominate the direction of the match, not necessarily tactically but emotionally, then we'd have at least four more points this past week alone.

There will always be a season where a side who wins the league drops points but not nearly as many as we have, and from commanding positions, too.

These are two issues that are resolvable....and they need to start from Sunday against Southampton, because if we finish behind Woolwich then despite what we hoped or expected in August, it will be hugely deflating.

We're early in to his tenure, and I think a lot of these things can be chalked down to our squad simply being very young. I'm so happy and proud of our season, how we've progressed and the passion from the players the future is very bright

Unquestionably. However Dembele and Walker are experienced enough - that was what particularly disappointed me.

Costa did his usual job of getting under the players skin. He is a total shitcunt and knows what he is doing. Could have done with Fazio sparking him hard again.

 

[ChiversRegal]

If you turn up for work into a vile cauldron of hate, feeling like the whole country is willing you to lose, then it's not suprising that you crack. They are a young team who have been a credit to us. Our manager is a class act and i love the way he backs the players in public and keeps upsets in house. Onwards and upwards we go.

Like at the bookies,can CB check out early and eat slightly less of his own sh*t for admitting he was wrong 3 weeks sooner than he stated?
Just wondering

I'll agree with all that.
I reckon on another day Dier would have walked to.
I love the fact we stand up for ourselves these days, but we need to learn to keep our heads.

Yes agree with that, love it that we now play hard, just have to inject the discipline to go with it. No doubt Poch has that on his to do list!
