He can’t speak English mate, can he?
6th, 3 points off 4th.
We haven't got many English in eller team.He can’t speak English mate, can he?
So better then us. Points wise to a champions League spot.
Well, ENIC are not here for the revenue because they don't take any. But they seem very much be here for the big sale. It hasn't been the same cycle though, and we need to be careful to not let cheap narrative blank out what actually happened. There were specific stages and successes and failures. Pochettino's time fell apart because squad renewal happened too slowly, and perhaps head coach renewal happened too slowly as well. We then shifted into finding the biggest name managers we could to keep Harry and other players happy, but are not run in a way that allows that kind of manager to thrive. And so Mourinho and Conte both fail because they need someone willing to subsidize their inability to coach players while they play big game tactics. Levy and the board failed to realize that they are not that club. Spurs have grown, but are not a superclub. We're just the biggest cult club, and have to be run like that. Ajax/Benfica/Dortmund plus, not Chelsea/City/PSG minus.
I think only top 3 get Champions League in France.
It was that bellend Sherwood who bled them really. Poch just brought in Mason but he was a great prospect at under 18s and would have got through eventually.
How many points from top 3?
Really?
Kane wouldn’t be anywhere near the player he is without the years he had under Poch. That 2017 season for him was unreal.
Although Dier isn’t great now, Poch had him playing incredibly well as a CDM. He also helped Son improve massively, and Eriksen.
We were pretty average in his first season. He didn't play Kane until things got pretty bad despite Kane having proven more than capable under Dim Tim.
Poch proved, unfortunately, that once those players declined he didn't know how to deal with it.
That isn't going to be different 2nd time around. Unless we employ a wonder scout.
Losing makes me depressed.
Drawing and losing games despite having 80% of the ball makes me depressed.
Don't kid yourself it wasn't all good all the time.

Okay, I understand the sentiment, but this would be a more realistic departure video for most of our recent coaches.
How about this as a compromise to the Conteout brigade....
Let him get rid of all the shit before he goes. Maybe let him try to lure some half decent players in before he goes.
Otherwise we'll all be back here talking about who we want to replace the guy that replaced Conte in about a year or so.

So you are saying that if we get Poch back, Son would return to form? That would be like a new signing.
