I think Spurs’ problem last year was not so much that they bought a lot of new players, but that even the players already there hadn’t been there all that long, added to the fact that AVB himself had only been there a year.
It all had a very experimental feel to it. If you look at their teamsheets at the start of the season, he didn’t just throw in all the new players at once, but you can see also that he’s trying to find working combinations with too many players....
I think Pochettino will keep it more settled, and we may well find that some of those players are not as bad as all that instability made them look. (Though they need the little baldy fella to have some patience and let the manager work on a system).

Spurs' problems have been greatly exaggerated. Their home form at the beginning of the season and their inability to win big games is what cost them. They still finished with one of their best ever points tallies- their problem was balance: Sherwood was too naive and got ripped apart by the big teams and AVB did not play with the authority of a big team and got ripped apart for this too.
Pochettino's side will be much more balanced, yes it will have that attacking flair, but it also had a strong defence which included the likes of Wanyama and Schneiderlin sitting in front of it protecting it.
The Spurs team are like a pack of clones
They're all that light shade of brown, pencilled goatee and a stud earring
Thus - they're destined to fail

Probably looking at 6th with Everton *and Liverpool, but they could do better if things go their way.
