Everybody knew he wasn't satisfied in the summer, he was just being professional. I doubt any of the players are under the illusion that everything is plain sailingCouple points on Pochs words, he is clearly talking about lack of signings.....no point denying that.
However maybe he needs to stop saying different things from one week to the next.
If you claim to be happy with the squad, and claim that we “tried our hardest” to sign players in the summer, but sometimes it’s just “not possible”, and that you don’t want to just signing players for the sake of it, and that the likes of Winks and Lamela etc will be like new signings and so on, then it’s a bit rich trashing the club for its inactivity three months later.
On the day we play our biggest game too.
So it’s either laying down the excuses for a defeat, or hitching his skirt at Real.
Either way it’s a dick move from Poch, because at the end of the day, win tonight and he sounds even more silly.
Yes maybe so but I for one would far sooner keep our current manager and let him see the job out providing he wanted to! Starting again with some else when there’s no need will set us back another couple seasons Eriksen,Dele even Kane might not hang around that long? Then we’re back to square one....againNothing other than like Pochettino he has not looked happy.
Look I have no idea.
Life is too short to allow the lunacy of football support to take even more of my time.
If Pochettino goes he goes. Same with Kane. The earth will revolve and we will survive.
Some very good managers out there and remember we ain't won diddly but we are also a super club.
Pochettino gives it up at his peril. Few managers do better when they leave us. History tells you that.
If he wants full stadiums he needs to get on to Levy about the pricing.I wonder if anyone told Poch we can’t have full stadiums at Wembley every time.
He seemed down about the amount of people there the other week but it was an attendance cap put in place by authorities rather than Spurs fans not turning up.
Can imagine if you had the team in its nest ever position after so many games and the fans aren’t coming you may feel down about that too.
Sooner we get back to the Lane the better. Almost feel like he was told pre-Xmas was on due to his statement previously. Bet he can’t wait to lead the team out there. Sure that will help lift him and everyone.
tbh, him smiling at the end means his probably not overly frustrated at the result because he accepted city were far better...He looked relatively happy at the end of the game. Laughing and smiling with the fourth official when we got a corner in the 94th minute.
I think he's seen a lot of positives today. He switched his team up to counter City and it worked very well (Defensive error aside). He's seeing something new from Sissoko, he's getting Eriksen and Dele back to full fitness and Winks is really staking a claim.
Somehow get a win against West Ham after 2 days rest and we'll go on a roll, I reckon.

What do you mean exactly?I think this era is coming to and end. Poch is fighting on too many fronts.

What I said. He was sold the job on the stadium opening in August 2018. He hasn’t been backed in the transfer market, and - and I’m I’m guessing here, he feels he can’t take this team any further. Having said that I think he’s acutely aware that his CV needs a trophy and that might delay his departure.What do you mean exactly?
