There is a reason we’re known as bottlers in the media and for doing a “Spursey” it’s happened far too often now, why do we support our team? to watch good football and to win trophies, why do players play? Yes for financial reason but because they love the game and they want to win that’s all that matters in competition, my god all we have to show is a 1991 fa cup win, 1999 and 2008 league cup wins and in between and since then failure after failure at getting over the line. Yes we’ve moved forward as a club and constant champions league appearances is great but surely for every supporter the end game is silverware ????? At the end of this season it’s 12 years since a trophy sorry for me it’s not good enough with the players we’ve had over the last few years.......

Yeh I’m sick of it. We don’t win trophies and the clubs record of silverware is borderline embarrassing for a club of our size. We are all set up for success, yet seem immune to actually winning anything.

Said this before and got knocked down, a good on field captain, someone the players respect, not this pussie Lloris, see how that goes

Remember on the opening day of our new stadium Daniel Levy wrote a lovely statement to the tune of "Spurs are destined to be one of Europe's top clubs". In myself opinion he said it from the heart. He meant it. And if we couple that with "he means business" then surely he must be contemplating other avenues for getting us there. Surely his patience will run out soon. Enough is enough. Afterall you don't spend £1 billion on a new project only to see it all thrown in your face.
As said it before, I'll say it again, Mauricio Pochettino's days are numbered.
All said in a professional manner. The man himself, I actually like him. But as an in-game manager? He's next to useless. Clearly not got it in him.
And yes we need a sideline manager. But whatever's going on in today's society (VAR, etc) I must admit Mau did used to show inkling yet what happened? He got that touchline ban for the next two games, one of which just happened to be against Liverpool.
Hmmmm.....
Lloris is a shat captain. Should have paid Toby 200k a week and made him captain after his first season.
Instead we dropped the cant for a guy who can barely kick the ball.

i just ignore it when spurs players talk in the press. its the same boring rhetoric every single time... must improve, cannot keep making same mistakes, must step up. etc etc etc etc.. and we do the same thing over and over again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest what Mau said here is the right attitude. Sounds to me like a disconnect between players and "authority" (what authority, I know, right?). Reminds me of that elusive half-time team talk Harry Kane supposedly gave the team "behind the manager's back":
""We are conceding a lot of chances and lots of goals and we need to change that," said Pochettino.
"The only way we can change is being more demanding from ourselves. That is the way we are going to approach the different days and be more consistent.
"Training needs to be harder. Psychologically harder."
Pochettino said he was "very disappointed" and that his players "didn't respect the plan".
"That is what disappointed me most and that is what I told the players at half-time," he added."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49749228
An emphasis on "Training needs to be harder. Psychologically harder." is definitely whats needed. No more Mr Nice Guy. Drill (sergeant) it into 'em!
Don, decent article, I definitely think their is a trophy or two in the current set of players, but it would definitely need a change of manager.
Spurs will never win anything under Poch, he doesn`t have it in him when it really comes to the crunch of winning trophies. Shame really, but it is what it is.
He doesn`t help himself with his constant rotation. Hopefully this time next season, Spurs will be under a different manager.

This will be Pochettino`s last season, one way or the other he will be gone by next season. I suspect he will be sacked before the season ends.

Absolutely mate. Poch has the players, he just does not know how to get them into a winning trophy wining side. He needs to step aside and give another manager a chance. Plenty of managers would have won trophies with this set of players over the past five seasons.

Those two FA cup semi finals against Chelsea and Man Utd in 2017 and 2018 was the perfect chance to end this hoodoo and we messed it up they were the chances with this group of players, really feel like it won’t happen now
We were unlucky the year we came 2nd to Chelsea. Had they had European football I think we would of won the league that season.
Its been a gradual decline in the Prem since then and Poch decision to leave out Moura in the cl final is worthy of the sack in itself.
I must say Eriksen is getting off very lightly today he was a disgrace last night.

Pretty well any of the current crop of Prem managers would relish the chance to work with the players Spurs currently have.
To many of our supporters think Poch is some messiah, who can never be replaced.
Bottom line is before he come to the club, given a choice between Poch and Mourinho, 100 per cent of our supporters would have said Mourinho.
All the clubs that win trophies have a stronger squad than Spurs, it means they can rotate more and keep players fresher without affecting the team performance.
Spurs have a strong first XI and 4 or 5 quality deputies, but after that the squad quality drops off a bit, which all makes a difference come the business end of the season when we have had our long list of injuries also.
It all comes down to our owners not being prepared (or being able) to spend whats required to take us to that level, be it wages or transfer fees or whatever. As long as Poch keeps delivering CL, Levy will be grinning like a cheshire cat, trophy or no trophy.

------------
so do Liverpool.. they just don't get anywhere the level of injuries we do
This is our fixtures for the next month up until the Liverpool game away. You can argue that with where we should be going with our development we shouldn't be losing any until that game:
Leicester (A)
Colchester (A)
Southampton (H)
Bayern Munich (H)
Brighton (A)
Watford (H)
Red Star Belgrade (H)
European transfer window no longer open and with the resources Poch has we should remain unbeaten in all that time. Aside from possibly the Leicester and Bayern Munich games we should be winning them all.

If they don't respect a World Cup winning captain they can fack off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The fact he is world cup winner is irrelevant, he does not inspire anyone the way he facks around with the ball at the back
Hmm, I don’t think the issue here is lack of respect for Hugo.
City swept all the trophy's in England last season.
The only other competition is the CL where you knocked them out and reached the final. What else can you do?
Spurs are unlucky to be a top team in an age where petro-doped clubs are having their way with the league.
Look at the way Spurs operate. Now look at the way City operate. You shouldn't get too frustrated. It is what it is. Spurs have played it well except for one utterly major component which is transfer business.
Poch has won nothing but replacing him is more likely to take Spurs backwards than above City who will again try to win everything.

Well the hope is that City won't do another domestic treble this season and leave openings for other teams. After all, we prevented them from doing a possible quadruple, and if we can beat them then we can beat them in other competitions, and I reckon if they had met a better team in the run to the FA Cup final last season they'd have been knocked out.
I didn't say its impossible but Spurs are behind City and Liverpool only and reached he CL final knocking City out.
Difference between Liverpool and Spurs is transfer activity where Liverpool seem to have nailed it.
I don't think any other manager will do better than Poch unless that manager is backed with a few hundred million in the market.
However, you have a top manager already and instead is replacing him he should be seriously backed for two consecutive windows or thereabouts and even then City will still have an edge, like they do over Liverpool but you'll have a greater chance, just like Liverpool.

There is a reason we’re known as bottlers in the media and for doing a “Spursey” it’s happened far too often now, why do we support our team? to watch good football and to win trophies, why do players play? Yes for financial reason but because they love the game and they want to win that’s all that matters in competition, my god all we have to show is a 1991 fa cup win, 1999 and 2008 league cup wins and in between and since then failure after failure at getting over the line. Yes we’ve moved forward as a club and constant champions league appearances is great but surely for every supporter the end game is silverware ????? At the end of this season it’s 12 years since a trophy sorry for me it’s not good enough with the players we’ve had over the last few years.......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeh I’m sick of it. We don’t win trophies and the clubs record of silverware is borderline embarrassing for a club of our size. We are all set up for success, yet seem immune to actually winning anything.

Remember on the opening day of our new stadium Daniel Levy wrote a lovely statement to the tune of "Spurs are destined to be one of Europe's top clubs". In myself opinion he said it from the heart. He meant it. And if we couple that with "he means business" then surely he must be contemplating other avenues for getting us there. Surely his patience will run out soon. Enough is enough. Afterall you don't spend £1 billion on a new project only to see it all thrown in your face.
As said it before, I'll say it again, Mauricio Pochettino's days are numbered.
All said in a professional manner. The man himself, I actually like him. But as an in-game manager? He's next to useless. Clearly not got it in him.
And yes we need a sideline manager. But whatever's going on in today's society (VAR, etc) I must admit Mau did used to show inkling yet what happened? He got that touchline ban for the next two games, one of which just happened to be against Liverpool.
Hmmmm.....

Lloris is a shat captain. Should have paid Toby 200k a week and made him captain after his first season.
Instead we dropped the cant for a guy who can barely kick the ball.

i just ignore it when spurs players talk in the press. its the same boring rhetoric every single time... must improve, cannot keep making same mistakes, must step up. etc etc etc etc.. and we do the same thing over and over again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be honest what Mau said here is the right attitude. Sounds to me like a disconnect between players and "authority" (what authority, I know, right?). Reminds me of that elusive half-time team talk Harry Kane supposedly gave the team "behind the manager's back":
""We are conceding a lot of chances and lots of goals and we need to change that," said Pochettino.
"The only way we can change is being more demanding from ourselves. That is the way we are going to approach the different days and be more consistent.
"Training needs to be harder. Psychologically harder."
Pochettino said he was "very disappointed" and that his players "didn't respect the plan".
"That is what disappointed me most and that is what I told the players at half-time," he added."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49749228
An emphasis on "Training needs to be harder. Psychologically harder." is definitely whats needed. No more Mr Nice Guy. Drill (sergeant) it into 'em!

Don, decent article, I definitely think their is a trophy or two in the current set of players, but it would definitely need a change of manager.
Spurs will never win anything under Poch, he doesn`t have it in him when it really comes to the crunch of winning trophies. Shame really, but it is what it is.
He doesn`t help himself with his constant rotation. Hopefully this time next season, Spurs will be under a different manager.

This will be Pochettino`s last season, one way or the other he will be gone by next season. I suspect he will be sacked before the season ends.

Absolutely mate. Poch has the players, he just does not know how to get them into a winning trophy wining side. He needs to step aside and give another manager a chance. Plenty of managers would have won trophies with this set of players over the past five seasons.

Those two FA cup semi finals against Chelsea and Man Utd in 2017 and 2018 was the perfect chance to end this hoodoo and we messed it up they were the chances with this group of players, really feel like it won’t happen now

We were unlucky the year we came 2nd to Chelsea. Had they had European football I think we would of won the league that season.
Its been a gradual decline in the Prem since then and Poch decision to leave out Moura in the cl final is worthy of the sack in itself.
I must say Eriksen is getting off very lightly today he was a disgrace last night.

Pretty well any of the current crop of Prem managers would relish the chance to work with the players Spurs currently have.
To many of our supporters think Poch is some messiah, who can never be replaced.
Bottom line is before he come to the club, given a choice between Poch and Mourinho, 100 per cent of our supporters would have said Mourinho.

All the clubs that win trophies have a stronger squad than Spurs, it means they can rotate more and keep players fresher without affecting the team performance.
Spurs have a strong first XI and 4 or 5 quality deputies, but after that the squad quality drops off a bit, which all makes a difference come the business end of the season when we have had our long list of injuries also.
It all comes down to our owners not being prepared (or being able) to spend whats required to take us to that level, be it wages or transfer fees or whatever. As long as Poch keeps delivering CL, Levy will be grinning like a cheshire cat, trophy or no trophy.

This is our fixtures for the next month up until the Liverpool game away. You can argue that with where we should be going with our development we shouldn't be losing any until that game:
Leicester (A)
Colchester (A)
Southampton (H)
Bayern Munich (H)
Brighton (A)
Watford (H)
Red Star Belgrade (H)
European transfer window no longer open and with the resources Poch has we should remain unbeaten in all that time. Aside from possibly the Leicester and Bayern Munich games we should be winning them all.

City swept all the trophy's in England last season.
The only other competition is the CL where you knocked them out and reached the final. What else can you do?
Spurs are unlucky to be a top team in an age where petro-doped clubs are having their way with the league.
Look at the way Spurs operate. Now look at the way City operate. You shouldn't get too frustrated. It is what it is. Spurs have played it well except for one utterly major component which is transfer business.
Poch has won nothing but replacing him is more likely to take Spurs backwards than above City who will again try to win everything.

Look at the way Spurs operate. Now look at the way City operate. You shouldn't get too frustrated. It is what it is. Spurs have played it well except for one utterly major component which is transfer business.
Poch has won nothing but replacing him is more likely to take Spurs backwards than above City who will again try to win everything.

Well the hope is that City won't do another domestic treble this season and leave openings for other teams. After all, we prevented them from doing a possible quadruple, and if we can beat them then we can beat them in other competitions, and I reckon if they had met a better team in the run to the FA Cup final last season they'd have been knocked out.

I didn't say its impossible but Spurs are behind City and Liverpool only and reached he CL final knocking City out.
Difference between Liverpool and Spurs is transfer activity where Liverpool seem to have nailed it.
I don't think any other manager will do better than Poch unless that manager is backed with a few hundred million in the market.
However, you have a top manager already and instead is replacing him he should be seriously backed for two consecutive windows or thereabouts and even then City will still have an edge, like they do over Liverpool but you'll have a greater chance, just like Liverpool.
