Poch had better talent at his disposal at the start of his second year. Lloris, Walker, Rose, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane were all simply superior to what Postecoglou now has.
People keep saying that and it's colored by the improvement in the player's profiles as a RESULT of playing under Poch and not because ANY of them were considered world beaters before he laid his holy hands upon them...not a single one! Dembele didn't come 'alive' until after the November game with Liverpool (Klopp's first game). In fact, Dembele was looking to leave that summer and had serious sit downs with Poch over the summer but still only played out on the RW FFS.
Poch improved players no question. Read his book and said he went out of his way to help ryan mason who was a young player and struggling to make any impression. He made a career for mason in some capacity. Poch imo was a pioneer and we were the benchmark for other clubs. Poch was too polite for own good imo. Twice he said we needed a rebuild before burnley away and munich in audi cup. Not sure though levy hung him out to dry after poch had that meeting with ferguson in london. Understandable by levy if poch had his head turned.

What you suggest is a fallacy, it's revision and it's egregious revision...for most every player on that list; Walker was a walking brainfart, Rose was shite, Vertonghen was moping his way out the club, Toby was a 11M get from his LOAN from Soton to Atleti..that's right, he couldn't get into the Southampton team, Eriksen was weak and underwhelming, Sonny was new and struggling to fit in so much that he and the club were entertaining sending him back to the BuLi only to be convinced by the personal plea of Poch, Dele was new and so great that he played all of about 41 minutes in his first 3 games, and Kane only had a few month of mild success but was nothing at that point in the season.
Feel free to check the data...
Tottenham Hotspur - Schedule 15/16

Tbh tottenham is a bigger attraction than southampton. Le tissier didnt have the bottle to join us from southampton as was a big fish in small puddle.
Not quite right that. Le Tissier didn't sign because his Wife wanted to stay in Southampton. Everything was agreed with him, and the contract was drawn up.
I thought picking 16 games was an odd number, so I had a look. It doesn't match the amount of games we've played so far this season nor the amount of games played up until this date in that season.
whos 4th? chelsea i suppose isnt it.

Bottled it imo.
Pretty sure Sarr & Udogie had Ligue 1 and Serie A seasons under their belts respectively but sure lets give the credit to Angelos.
Apparently we don't have a scouting department and aren't data led, it's all down to big Ange identifying the talent, explains why we have players like Johnson & Werner at least and also how he was bringing through players in Ligue 1 and Serie A.
He had experience in La Liga as well, so that's 2 of the traditional top 5 leagues as well as being an Argentinian international as a player before being given the job here, whereas Angelos did what?
Another coward without the bollocks to @ someone.
