Question for me is Poch do when he first joined Spurs that made such a difference? He didn't exactly inherit a great squad and hasn't had money to chuck at top players. He isn't apparently a tactical genius or so it would seem. So what did he bring to the party that turned us into a top 4 side, now in apparent decline? The thing I remember is fitness. About the only thing that springs to mind is the intensity of training. Basically, almost every player could do an Energiser Bunny for 95 minutes twice a week. Now they barely make a first half without looking tired. Perhaps he also developed their self confidence which is now lacking but that is rather subjective. So what else did he bring then that is not there now? Perhaps a coincidence but didn't Paul Mitchell and Ian Broomfield depart about 2 seasons ago? Answers on a postcard...

the reality is that the following are unlikely to be at spurs next season.
----------------------Lloris---------------
--Aurier------Toby----------Dier------------Verts--------
-KWP--------Wanyama-----Eriksen-------Rose------
lots of these are the foundation of our really good poch era
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"were".... living in the past mate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
80% of that lot should have been sold this summer if not before... there's the problem... that's on Levy & Poch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So Pochettino decided he doesn't want to spend big on quality replacements?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Care to answer? Do you think Pochettino looked at the squad and said I don't want to replace these players with better quality. Please don't spend Mr Levy.

Who? He said Rose wasn't in pre season because he was looking for a move and we failed in selling Wanyama. So that's two player from the list he was happy to go.
And as a manager why would you sanction sales for Toby/ Vert/ Eriksen unless you are going to get equal or better quality in return?
And he was okay with Trippier going who plenty thought Pochettino was too loyal with so wasnt going to sell KWP or Aurier without an improved replacement
Bad times Chronic and thats with a win against Villa
Andy gray.. long time no see mate... will pop over to the villa board a bit more to say hi.
bad times? spurs are currently the worst team in the division, and have the worst away form of any professional side in the country in 2019 (i think)... so yes, bad times.
