    He's another one that I don't think was MP's preferred choice and who DL picked up on a deal - see also Moussa Sissoko, Lucas and Llorente. These players have been under used, often to the effect of running alternatives into the ground. It gives me cause to believe that our recent transfer issues aren't the DL course of action that some would like it to be.

    Tbh its standard poch mo. He was like that at soton too where he had a core 13/14 players (once they won his trust) and unless you really shined then it was hard to break in.

    Tbh im surprised he has learnt to rotate a lot more as you see with his fbs. However you only need to look at how it took sonny boys mental form before he became a regular.

    The only thing i would say is that obviously sissoko, llorente hadnt been setting the world alight before hand and the depth isnt what it is now plus an adaptation period so maybe its not entirely fair to say he doesnt want to rotate

    It's taken half the time that Wembley or the Millennium Stadium took. Far more complex as well.

    IIRC Pereira (now at Leicester) was Poch's preferred option, but we bungled our approach

    And it was his tactics that put us there ( and the fact we have Kane in our squad )

    Mauricio Pochettino laughed and said he finds it unbelievable that some people believe Tottenham Hotspur looked better without Harry Kane in the side.

    Spurs have lost both their matches since Kane's return from his ankle injury, at Burnley and Liverpool, with the striker scoring at Turf Moor.

    Same have suggested that the England captain coming back into the team has disrupted the balance of a team which was in good form in the Premier League during the prolific goalscorer's absence.

    Here we are. Pooch's an idiot.

    So what are you saying, we should sack him?

    Good, I hear Ian Holloway's available...

    Proves I'm not alone in this train of thought, you never know, it might even spread.

    I'm sure your parents must be proud that you hope that, one day, your idiocy will be spoken of in the same breath as flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers...

    Here we go again. Because of a couple of poor results you think the manager who has got us the most league points for decades is an idiot.

    I saw some dullard on Twitter say that what Poch has done isn't admirable because Harry Redknapp also got us into the top four

    Apparently the 38 games a season it takes to determine the final league position aren't important...

    Secretly he probably agrees with this idea but cannot publicly say it. I think we'd have beaten Burnley and Chelsea without Kane.
