Needs time. I'm refraining from judgement until the squad plays and looks more like Poch wants them to. I only see it in spurts right now- players need consistency.

It's exactly like when people said Martinez was a bad manager because Wigan were relegated when he clearly isn't. There is a lot of context you can't just ignore with regards to Pochettino.

Lest we forget that the vast majority of Spurs' squad are rubbish if you ask me. I personally only rate like 4 of them, the rest are overrated and overpaid. Give him some time to mark his stamp on the team because right now he's just cleaning up the mess he's inherited.

Pochettino got sacked from Espanyol, Martinez left Wigan on his own. Also, Martinez actually improved Everton when he went there, Pochettino doesn't seem to be able to improve Tottenham. That's the main thing, if Pochettino was actually a good manager, he would be getting more our of this Tottenham squad than Tim frigging Sherwood.

You can't call a perfume salesman bad at his job because he can't make shit smell nice though.

Give it time because this Spurs squad is so mediocre it's not even funny. The only thing they have going for them is depth.

Manchester United has to be the luckiest side around. Facing Chelsea at home the week both of their strikers are not available to play.

If Van Gaal can't get a point here then he should be put on notice.

That's a potential Top 4 team. I honestly truly believe they have a better team than Liverpool.

Weren't you saying yesterday that Liverpool would cruise to 3rd when Studge gets fit ? Laughing

Everton are awful. I have them odds on for relegation. Stones is out for almost most of the season, which means 45 year old Distin starting week in and out, and Jagielka's scoring purple patch will end soon as well.

They are the worst team we have met this year (Even worse than Ludogorets) and the most dis-satisfying result of the season for me.....because they were so utter turd and offered absolutely no threat. They made our defense look as good as Mourinho's Inter ffs....how bad do you have to be to do that Very Happy

Big words coming from a team that struggled against QPR lol

ha, people rating Everton rofl

not only they already have injuries, but injuries plus they are in Europe Laughing

you just cant say 'if not injuries, they have the best squad' should <i say Arsenal are title contenders (ohhh wait their injuries).

dese madrid fans will see the true color of their team, when we smack them hard tonight :coffee:

its actually going to be the opposite. Both of them will be fit by then (in fact remy has already said he will be fit or something) and we on the other hand will probably be missing di maria and herrera. :facepalm:

So

its actually like this

Chelsea has to be the luckiest side around. Facing United the week both of their most influential players are not available to play

If Mounjo can't get a win here then he should be put on notice.

:coffee:

There's also about a billiono reasons Spurs have reason to be pessimistic. Like their being shit Sad

West Ham this year ffs :bow:

Song is killing it Laughing

by futbol Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:01 pm

It's hilarious how Wenger snubbed Fabregas and Song yet both are better than anything they have in those positions. Laughing

Will certainly get a nice fee for Song next season. He would improve every EPL team bar Chelsea. lol

by BusterLfc Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:30 pm

Diafra Sakho is doing extremely well so far, I'd say he's their best signing of the summer so far alongside Kouyate.

He had a reputation for being better going forward than defending and it's not like I rated/rate him but he'd still be an improvement over Flamini and Arteta to add some defensive steel to your midfield, even if he's not a conventional holding mid.

by EL Patron Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:41 pm

Fat Sam

West ham will be handful for any side this season, Sakho and Valencia are a problem.

How is Clichy a top four defender ? he cost City this game Laughing

by Art Morte Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:47 pm

West Ham you beauty :bow:

Coutinho left on the bench despite he's been our best player lately :facepalm:

by Abramovich Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:48 pm

Was offside the first goal tbf and City quite unlucky but I ain't complaining.

by Glory Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:53 pm

City losing to Stoke, West Ham. Isnt a pattern emerging there ? hmm

by RealGunner Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:57 pm

D.Sakho has been such a beast in the PL :bow:

by Abramovich Sat Oct 25, 2014 2:59 pm

Valencia as well.

by BarcaLearning Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:01 pm

Great to see Song doing well, although just from the comments, I didnt watch the game Razz

Must have been an amazingly unlucky for Man C from the highlights though, that second goals thx to goal line tech. nowaday yet again, proved to be so useful in so many incidents already! And hitting the crossbar twice. But Man C's defense still the same, just not solid enough.

Silva goal though, class!

If Man U dont beat Chelsea, they really going to walk the league?

by RealGunner Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:35 pm

Sanchez is amazing man.
