To do what he did with such a thin squad and no Kane is brilliant. Look at his bench compared to city’s... remarkable!
A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino
- Thread starter NotBrendanRodgers honest
- Start date
Hold your fecking horses, there's still Ajax in there.
What makes this accomplishment better is that he made zero signings. Sign of an absolutely quality manager.
He's been given no money to spend. His wage bill is the lowest out of the top 6. His £100m rated goalscorer is out for the season. And he just done City in the Quarters. Its laughable when people give him shit where Spurs being "bottlers." He does such an incredible job with them.
It hit his hip and went in. He was a passenger for most of the time he was on. Easy to say great decision in hindsight, but consensus was that Poch needed to sub the sub and take Llorente off to get some foothold again.
I don't buy into spurs fans nonsense about him coming here he was openly flirting with the idea of it mentioning the Barcelona nou camp comments and never openly rejecting the idea.
Either way we have to persist with Ole, either he moves us forward or will be shown the door we have far bigger problems stemming down to the structure of the club. Back on Poch, is a world class manager for me irrespective of tonight's results he's very competitive in every regard despite spurs being skint. We have seen Pep leave Bayern due to them not investing in the squad, Klopp was very muted without massive investment in the squad, Poch has had the least amount of finances spent in the top six but this spurs squad look just as competent as anyone in world football.
Absolutely p1ssed we have idiots running the club

This night may very well prove to be a huge milestone in his career, the type where you level up as a player/manager. Done an outstanding job at Spurs, so deserves all the praise.
Also, we can learn a lot from how Spurs conduct their business. They’ve leapfrogged us whilst spending nothing, due to one insufferable prick on here plenty hate Spurs but as a club there is plenty to be admired. I think they’ll match up quite well v Ajax and are just the type of team they’ll struggle against.

Great job by him. What a fantastic manager.
Still really happy with Ole though. Some of you lot are proper weird.

you didn't dissapoint
Amazing achievement after a summer of £0 spent.
And all while playing at wembley and now moving stadium.
Shame we didn’t get him - he totally deserves a top job. Or, to stay at Spurs and enjoy a new era there. Very impressive.

Still unproven for me. He can reach all the finals and semi finals in the world but until he gets that all important win in a match that really matters - the final of the Carabao cup - then he will remain a lesser manager that greats such as Harry Redknapp and Roberto Martinez.
Apparently not ...
If it wasn’t for VAR, the tone in this thread would be so different. Var deserve some credit .
Is there a way for this Spurs team to get worst if they actually spend money on their team? It was clear that city had the superior team, but if Spurs spent like their other rivals would their performance improve that much? The answer is yes and another example why Pochettino is s great manager.

Congrats to him. Incredible achievement. With a bit of luck but you have to have that.
And we're stuck with a Molde manager..

Honestly, taking a step back this is such a big achievement for Pochettino and such a failure for Pep.
One is operating in the absolute optimum conditions, literally I don't think any manager has had such a cushty seat as Pep and the other is competing with the same budget as the likes of Wolves and Everton.

Fair point, have to agree, maybe tonight was the night they "arrived". I was pleased Spurs won anyway, the semi with Ajax is going to be very interesting. Hopefully be two good games to watch, should be, both teams play nice football.
Goes without saying I'd love to see Spurs beat Liverpool in the final, but, in saying that I'd much rather Liverpool didn't get there in the first place.
What a manager. Controlled the VAR screens and everything by just standing there in his all black.
Before we all get silly and start asking for Poch at United...
How about - he never wanted and doesn’t want to manage Utd? We’re in a mess. He apparently loves living in London. He’s worshipped by Spurs fans.
Think about that before abusing Ole.

He’s objectively a better manager than Ole. There’s no arguing that. So is Mourinho for all it was worth to us.
Nice try.
Never happened. Everyone is dying to come to us.
The Sun is never wrong
Oh Jesus, here he goes...
Very good manager. Knows how to build a team and how sustain consistently high levels of performance with minimal investment.
If he ends up lifting big ears next month, he'll have his pick of jobs when he eventually leaves Spurs.

Insane view
Not to worry folks, we got the guy on work experience instead. All will be fine 
He's a great manager at maximizing a team and building it.
Still have some concerns over him, but he pulled off a huge result.

Mods his name is begging for it.

Mental.
Must be said, he didn't dissapoint.
I should've made it more obvious to be honest but it was taking the piss out of the people that put weight in winning the league cup as a potential indicator of managerial ability over having a team competing with the best teams in Europe.
Molds...
People still using the ‘until he wins a trophy’ argument? If he gets Spurs to the final that’s 10 times more of an accomplishment than City winning it with their squad and resources.
World class manager

All this 0 pounds spent stuff. He has a quality quality team.
Source?
not breaking the bank for this guy was serious negligence
Oh this will be a long debate all summer.
AHH sorry for not picking up on that! It is the sort of nonsense some folk do actually post though.
