That's the Raumdeutersque spirit controlling Popizaino there.

Even Fraudiola would have made better use of the trio, Neymar, Mbappe and Messi, at PSG.

Pochettino should be renamed Fraudchettino. No ambitious club will near the bottler.

Espanyol, Southampton, Tottenham should tell anyone his level. PSG is the first top job he was tried in, we know how it ended.

Bombblacks:
Mourinho didn't win anything. No shoulda or woulda here. None of what you typed makes pochettino a bottler. Absolutely nothing and they didn't bottle anything to Leicester. its absolute nonsense to say Mauricio Pochettino's side 'bottled' something they never had a chance or were even considered favourites of winning at any time. Pochettino over achieved at Tottenham. Why Is the serial winner Conte not winning anything at Tottenham and is getting chased away?

This was your exact statement... Please name the coaches that will win trophies at Tottenham let's see.

So you don't want shoulda woulda here but you are asking me who will win trophies at Spurs.

Weldone. Continue.

popizaino:
Don't you think someone like Walter Smith with 6 scottish league title is better than a serial bottler like Thomas Tuchel?

Stop comparing apples and oranges.

Scotland isn't top 5 in Europe.

Tuchel have trophies to his name, even UCL. He isn't a bottler like Poch. Abi you wan compare them?

Bombblacks:
This narrative will never stop being amusing to me. How exactly is Pochettino a serial bottler? Please name the coaches that will win trophies at Tottenham let's see. The Conte you are talking about is at the same club currently yet he hasn't won even a spoon or gotten close. He is even planing on running away or rather they are ones chasing him away from the club.

@bolded...Mourinho took Spurs to a Cup final and would have won it if he coached that final.

Pochettino was dragging league with Leicester in 2015 and ended up 3rd. Who does that if not a bottler? On paper, that Spurs team vs their Leicester counterpart, who was better? Are we going to talk about the UCL that Poch went on a brilliant run to the final only to bottle it? Maybe you don't know of the EFL cup meeting against West Ham in 2017 where Spurs have a good chance of going all the way to maybe win it. Leading 2-0 first half on to come crashing down at full time 2-3 in their home. In 2018 FA cup semi final against Man United, Pochettino and his Spurs side was leading 1-0 comfortably only to suddenly caputilate in 2nd half and lose 1-2.... I can go on and on.

There is a reason why Poch and Spurs is called bottlers. I didn't invent the tag.

airmark:
Even the Epl his Pochettino couldn't win for years, Conte won it. The serial bottler is looking for like a year now for another club that will mistakenly sign him.

Dude is using only their Spurs job to compare them. Who does that? Na wao.

popizaino:
The flawed way of seeing this things is why you will called trophies the single metrics to judge a tactically better coach, hence we can say a coach who went to Scotland,were it almost guaranteed that managing either Celtic or rangers will win you their league while getting knocked out in the group stage of a UCL is better than a coach who is striving with Atletico Madrid while making a decent mark in the UCL.


Yet another flawed way of seeing things is asking me if Avram Grant is better than Mourinho because the former made a UCL finals,just because i said Pochettino is tactically better than conte who hasn't made the UCL quarter finals with spurs. With Chelsea, Mourinho won the league while having a decent run in the UCL whereas Avram Grant has none to point to at Chelsea. So Mourinho is better than Avram Grant. Now what have Conte done with spurs that Pochettino didn't better abobi?


Can i claim to be better than you if we both coached westham while you made Europa league finals with them while i constantly get exited from the group same competitions while my league records are also not as impressive as yours.

EPL, Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 are the top 5 leagues in Europe. There is a reason they are tier 1 of European football. Don't compare what happens there to Scottish league.

So Mourinho vs Grant, we should look for Mourinho's league (trophy won) as what makes him better than Grant but Poch vs Conte we throw away all the trophies Conte won and use UCL final to judge them? Continue.

The mere fact that PSG is the biggest job Poch have done shows that Conte is bigger and better than him. Clubs normally look at your CV before hiring that is why Poch is Southampton Espanyol level while Conte is Juventus Chelsea level.

Oga rest with your bias agenda. There is no comparing Pochettino to Conte. Even Poch himself no go gree with you.

andrewbaba44:
Never knew conte won the ucl

Wow

Who said Conte won UCL?

raumdeuter:
Ranieri won the league with Leicester

That's not EPL trophy Conte was holding.

Trevor012:
Man basically called Messi a farmer. French Media is cooking the fraud

Rothen!

That fine boy player that year. I think he is ex Monaco too.

airmark:
Popizaino is Raumdeuter's 'nephew', he has his Raumdeutersque moments. 😄

I don't know how someone will compare a serial bottler with a serial winner.

raumdeuter:
So what has Cuntay done that Ranieri hasn't

Useless Cuntay has not won 1 CL knockout game in over 10yrs

I don't know where Ranieri enter Conte vs Pochettino debate.

But to answer your question, please show me Ranieri holding that trophy Conte is holding below.

popizaino:
Talking about emotions,i don't do that if not, i would have join the host of Chelsea fans and be singing the praises on Mourinho over pep or Lampard above iniesta or James over Trent,Drogba above Rooney. I deal with fact whether it has to do with my club or not,so know you talk about concerning emotions a d stuffs.


2. I am not generalizing. If the shoe above there fits you then wear it before we move on.


3. There is no one single method of judging between coaches or football in itself, thus, you can't say making the UCL finals is greater than winning the league. There are context to everything but for Conte and Pochettino it is clear who is better because we have their time at Tottenham to make our judgement from.

There is one single method of judging between coaches: trophies won.

I don't know what else is the aim of any coach in a club if not winning trophies.

Do you know Hector Cuper? If you don't, just Google his name and read his story. He is known in football as the "nearly man". There is a reason it was said that a "curse" is following him everywhere.

Reaching a final can never improve a coach's CV the way trophies does.

Don't you ever compare Pochettino with Conte. Dem no be mate.

If because both of them coach Spurs and Poch made UCL final is the reason why Poch is better than Conte, then I'll say Abram Grant is better than Mourinho. Right or wrong?

And for the bolded, always know who you had a debate with on any matter. You can't throw words around and say whom it fits should wear it. I cannot come and make reference of Pulisic vs Sterling to you knowing full well that I had that conversation with airmark and start telling you if the shoe fit you, wear it. Does it even make any sense?

popizaino:
Making a UCL finals with Tottenham Hotspur is more a difficult task than making it with Chelsea. The fact that Pochettino did not make it with PSG in just two tries,does not diminish the quality of football that PSG played under him which gives any well discerning mind the hopes that he would have made the finals with them given more time. One would think the new coach with PSG is doing better than Pochettino.

I asked you a question in the other comment I quoted you. I would like to get your sincere answer.

Skimpledawg:
Omo that guy no get better cappings. Still dey play pikin clips

I suprise to see him talk about PH rain. Meaning na PH boy him be. Abeg PH no dey produce this kind football analysts biko

airmark:
Pocchetino that couldn't make Ucl final with a star-studded Psg and have been jobless since he was chased away from Paris.

Na Crown fc, Ogbomosho, Pocchetino go coach last last. Popizaino will welcome him to his hometown. 😄

As in ehh!

If popi hype Poch for taking Spurs to UCL final, then what should be expected of him when he has a star studded PSG?

UCL final, is it not the one that Avram Grant made? Maybe Avram Grant is now better than Conte. Or Di Matteo.

popizaino:
I will not stop today,tomorrow or next because when most of you especially, Mourinho and Conte's fans were calling out Pochettino when he was at Spurs you lots did not realise when to stop even when i kept on mentioning that you was overachieving with them.

You called him a bottler and made us understand your two man made gods will achieve better than he did with the same spurs. Years along the line with your favourite coaches, the same spurs who were once a force to reckon with under Pochettino are now looking like a shadow of their former self and you are asking me to stop. No nba!

Meanwhile,Amoto94, i never forget Sarri....How may years does he need at Lazio to prove to us what he couldn't prove to us at Chelsea because we were impatient and sacked him on time.

1. Stop generalising things like a kid. Look for the exact people you had Conte/Spurs/Poch/Mou argument and type those epistles to them. I can't remember having such debate with you here.

2. I am not talking Spurs and their coach here. The reason why I quoted you is you saying Pochettino is better than Conte because Poch have reached UCL final (not won o). My question now is, what makes a better coach when compared, reaching UCL final or winning multiple trophies in different leagues?

While you have your favorites in football (coaches and players), I advise you not to let emotions becloud your judgement. Agenda can make one very blind.

Ballzproblem2:
PH rain 🥶🥶🥶

So this abobi wey dey always misyarn na PH guy sef.

Unlimited22, skimpledawg, itsrm make una come upgrade una guy o.

Bombblacks:
He did at Psg.

Check my post again, you will see..... "in different leagues"...

popizaino:
Is this why Conte haven't made the UCL finals like Pochettino nevermind semifinals in his career?

Give up,Pochettino is tactically better than Conte.

Make una stop to dey yarn like this. Haba!

So making UCL final is now better than trophies won in different leagues?

If you think say running a marathon league of 38 matches and end up being first is easy, make Pochettino do am na.

raumdeuter:
You can handle the ball or commit a foul in the circle without it being a penalty but when its encroachment at Stamford bridge, it becomes a punishment

The arc creates a uniform circumference distance to the penalty spot. The main job of the arc is to keep players away from the penalty taker during penalty kick, not conceding penalty during play.

The penalty box is different from the arc.

Omoh!

And they still have a certain Goncalo Ramos and Antonio Silva!

popizaino:
I did the bolded because of the argument you and i have had in the past concerning pre or no pre-season. Na Andrew the baba44 you suppose they give that kind advice.

I no even remember having any preseason argument with you anytime.

No wahala sha.

popizaino:
Leave story and lower your expectations. No club employs a manager mid season and bound him to win the most prestigious of all trophies. If it happens like it has happened in our case on two different occasions, then it is a coincidence not an expectation.

And who says I am laying my hopes on that? Can't someone think aloud again? Na wao.... Me wey dey on siddon look mode since.

No be everything you suppose choke mouth like that.

Sportsweb:
You are hoping on Pussylic to knock DORTMUND out for you 😂😂😂.

Someone that will rot on the bench till they throw him out in the summer

You never can tell who our saviour will be. When Pulisic is in the mood, he can be lethal.

popizaino:
What i meant was that if winning UCL without pre-season is thing, maybe we should employ more competent managers and sack them midway for some not so good coaches to win us the UCL.

Why must you employ more competent manager, sack him before employing another manager to win UCL for us? I don't get you.

Was AVB more competent before we employed Di Matteo? Was Lampard more competent before we brought in Tuchel? Why must we employ Pep, sack him, before employing who will win us UCL?

Is everything okay?

popizaino:
Maybe we should employ Pep Guardiola in the summer next year, and sack him mid season so that you can come and win us the UCL without pre-season.

Wetin consign Pep with my comment? Sometimes when you type something, first sit back and reread your post before clicking 'submit'.

Just read your comment again and try explaining what you mean because I will be a liar if I say I understand a single thing you typed.

airmark:
Yeah, I learnt he was sharp in his last training sessions. Coming in as a Super sub will be better.

If no be the kind form we dey right now, BVB defence is wide open. It's their GK that cover them up a lot.

Potter need to deliver UCL for us

Di Matteo did it without preseason. Tuchel did it without preseason. I don't see why Potter can't do it.

airmark:
God, let the return of Pulisic give us the needed luck to qualify past Dortmund.

Espiritu fortuna!

Will he make the lineup?

Would be nice if he comes in and knock out his former club from the competition.

iamoyindamola:
Top 3 lost
Position remain the same

I go still lose again.

I need to prepare for DGW29.

Ibime don put am for my body woto woto...

To think that I sold Darwin

raumdeuter:
See Robertson in attack and that awesome block
Wait make game finish, we will be hearing of VVD doing everything now

Patrickmuf

Check well. That's VVD

Skimpledawg:
Havertz tried to do what bros?

I don't know the match you watched, but the Havertz I saw linked up well with Sterling and Felix. He dropped deep to defend.

I look beyond G/A, even though that's what attackers are being judged with nowadays.
