WhoDeyHause:
No because it was not expected .

Same thing that applies to ranieri applies to Pochettino here too.

WhoDeyHause:
Leceister that he bottled the league to won their first ever premier league title that year so this can never be an excuse for bottletino.

How can a club that was not expected to finish top 4 before the season starts bottle a title. If Leicester had finished 2nd that season, would you call ranieri a bottler and a useless coach?

WhoDeyHause:
Was it to only be qualifying for top 4 Levy signed him?

How many times have Tottenham finished in top 4 for 22yrs before Pochettino?

WhoDeyHause:
A legend that delivers top 4 and a first champions league final but no trophies. You are talking as if totenham were one dead club in 2019.

Name the numerous trophies Tottenham won before Pochettino and the number of times they have finished In the top 4 for 22yrs before him?

Ennyjay69:
after developing spurs,did he win anything?
Is that how he will come here to develop people and keep bottling trophies?

Was spurs winning numerous trophies before Pochettino? That should answer your question.

WhoDeyHause:
Was it to be finishing top 4 Levy hired him for? Totenham won carabao cup before villas boas and him.

How many times have Tottenham finished in top 4 for 22yrs before Pochettino?

WhoDeyHause:
If he could make them top 4 regulars then they should be no problem with him making them champions. The leceister he bottled the league to were in championship two seasons ago.

There's is nothing like if. Pochettino overachieved at Tottenham making them top 4 regulars. That's already an achievement he should be celebrated for. Taking them to their first ever champions league final already makes him a legend.

Ennyjay69:
you can't make a player that is not good and that's fact

Pochettino made Kane and Son. They were not world class before Pochettino brought them into his team. He developed them like he developed Tottenham that overachieving with a shit... team like that is considered a failure.

WhoDeyHause:
So why can't him finishing second win a single cup for totenham? Were they a small team?

How many cups did Tottenham win before pochettino and how many times did they finish top4?

Ennyjay69:
how many years did he use at spurs that he couldn't even win a spoon with the squad he has and the money he spent?
He has kane and son and he couldn't even do shit,he always get outclassed against top managers
Spurs won the league Cup before him btw

Who made Kane and Son? See the way you typed he had Kane and Son like he signed them when they were world class players for high fees when he was the one who developed them to become World class. How many trophies have Tottenham won In their history before Pochettino? You are typing as if Tottenham were winning numerous trophies and finishing in top 4 regularly before the man came in. Tottenham were shi.t before pochettino made them top 4 regulars.

WhoDeyHause:
Behind Conte. We are talking of him bottling against leceister not Conte who won the league with a bigger margin.

I am talking about him finishing 2nd with Tottenham.

WhoDeyHause:
He finished 3rd behind leceister and assnal not second.

Pochettino finished 2nd with Tottenham.

Ennyjay69:
sack eth and hire poch
How will you say he made spurs so good that yenyenyen as if they were half as good as city

He didn't win shit,he only got a cl final cos of ajax foolishness to see out a win,he got outclassed home and away,his performance in the cl final has to be the worst this century

Abeg abeg abeg

Yes cause Tottenham was a super power club that was winning numerous trophies before pochettino came in and dragged them into being trophyless. How many Champions league final has Tottenham made in their history before and after Pochettino? You are using Pochettino overachieving with Tottenham to berate him instead of praising him.

Pochettino made Tottenham soo good that finishing 2nd is seen as bottling and a failure.

ChristineC:
for crosses into the box, he engages with his full chest or reverses straight to the goal line if the cross is too high for him.
for long punts however, he picks his battles. why engage when the ball will either end on the feet of the attacker where he can engage fairly or be headed pass where his covering teammate is engaging another opponent?
over all I think his reading of the game is his strongest attribute.

All am saying is the aerial duel stats doesn't tell the whole story about today match. Adams simply chest controlled Southampton keepers long ball and took a shot in the first half with Martinez marking him. There were also plenty of similar examples in the second half as well. Southampton were enjoying long balls on top of Martinez/Malacia in the second half, either winning it uncontested or picking up the second ball from short cleared headers. He was not dominant in the air like it's been made out to be.

ChristoBam:
I think I literally saw him lose an aerial duel against Che Adams that almost lead into a situation.

More than 8 times he let che adams chest the ball down today. His percentage is going to be high when he doesn’t even bother to head the ball when he feels he won’t win it.

Ellexy:
Lisandro Martínez won 100% (5/5) of his aerial duels against Southampton, more than any other player on the pitch [@StatmanDave]

How is the short 3inches man doing it

I wonder what is considered a "duel" for this specific stat? I imagine a smaller CB that is less proficient in the air would be more cautious in even engaging to begin with.

Mikechinos:
why did we resign Tom Heaton?

To be 3rd choice.

If Ronaldo starts on the bench again on Saturday then the message is clear and obvious from Ten hagg.

hatakekakashi:
Like what? They're Arabs, they have unlimited money.

Arab and Qatar owners don't care about making money or profits from their clubs. They are only buying clubs for sportwashing.

kozmicity:
This supports your opinion

This sprint and distance stats doesn't really mean much. The team with more possession will always have the low sprints and distance covered. Liverpool had 70 percent of the ball so of course they will run less than us. Just like when we had 70 percent possession against Brentford and they ran more.

main24:
dude if you are here to compare Ronaldo and Rashford + martial combined performance stats I really have nothing to say. You win!

Where did you see performance stats in my post? I asked a simple question. Is it the same Ronaldo who wasn't bothered to run and press with just 10mins to go that would have performed better than rashford or another one?

main24:
So true sir!

The same Ronaldo with lack of effort when we needed pressing and closing down in the last 10 minutes or which one

Ten hagg did exactly what I expected him to do. Fantastic result should get the boys in good mood and boost confidence for next week along with new signings coming in.

Bombblacks:
Now lets assume that report is accurate. Players admiting their incapability at meeting ten Hag's demands/ current tactics is not something bad or means they are turning on him especially when you consider they just lost 2 matches in a row conceding 6 goals with Liverpool next. Am sure Ten hagg came to that conclusion himself without the players needing to say anything. If you analyzed both games you will realize Eth was a bit naive
and too optimistic in the way he's setting up the team and on what he expects from many of these players. After two defeats now and strong teams coming next I expect him to adjust and be more pragmatic so we can start getting results which will remove pressure from his shoulder then expand from there.

Mrviktor:
Mactominay was impressive too..

Na leeds mactominay turn up today

Mctominay is usually decent when we don't have much possession. He actually did well yesterday. Made a few mistakes here and there but he also did well on many occasions. His decision making should be quick tho.

Mrviktor:
Depay. Ziyech VDB That Tottenham boy too


Dutch starts track record is really poor in this league

You could do the same for every league.

melodyogonna:
This thing na problem with rich people, wanting to buy anything they can get hands on because they can afford it.

I tire o

Look at Bayern struggling so hard without Lewandowski.

cve90:
That's why I prefer Gakpo, that boy has shot power and accuracy. Can play at LWF and CF. He's tall too at 1.87m. Antony is limited. If the funds dey, get the two but the one more pressing is Gakpo. Man will bench Rashford flat.

Gakpo is a left winger and we already have two players in the squad who prefers the left wing Sancho and rashford. Gakpo has played his entire carreer as a right-footed left winger, he Is not a striker and nothing suggests he will be an effective striker if converted. We have zero capable right winger in the Sqaud so how is buying another left winger more pressing than a left footed right winger.

Brazil attacking options going into the world cup is scary. Neymar,Vinicius, Gabriel, Richarlison, Antony, Ralphina, Cunha, Rodrigo and even Coutinho. Clear favourites for me.

JayKayMaybachz:

I genuinely don't understand our interest in Gakpo. He is not a right winger or a striker. We already have two players more comfortable in the position he plays.

TrebleChamp:
If we don't get De Jong or any other midfielder, Zidane Iqbal can play that role effectively in front of Casemiro.

What evidence do you have of this? Where has he shown it?
