A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino

Real bound?
What we're seeing now with Spurs is what we saw with Arsenal under Wenger (06-11). Good on their day, talented squad but unable to turn performances into prizes. I suspect Pochettino will stay for one more season and if nothing improves he'll be off.
Poocheatinho.
Nail on the head.
And importantly for those that want him as United manager, we aren't going to let him be a youth coach for 3-4 years while we win feck all. He will have to buy top players and get them to perform.
Maybe knows his stock is about as high as it's likely to go at Spurs, and has ready-made excuses about not being able to win anything. Putting the feelers out?
A closer look at Pochettino?? Dark hair, dark eyes,darkish skin, and a football manager who has never won anything,end of!
He has taken them as far as he can.
He needs to leave.
He needs to leave.
Wow in the post match comments he referred twice to either him or another manager taking Spurs forward in the future. This was unprompted apparently.

Yeah I just saw that on MotD. Not the sort of statement you make on a whim is it. Maybe he feels he's achieved all he can with this Spurs team and it's time for a new challenge.
Real being the ultimate challenge in that regard.
Like Alli he's sewing the seeds for an exit, I'd be worried if I were a Spurs fan, Walker last summer, Rose and Alderweireld this, Alli and Poch next? Kane the year after?
true. Wenger used to get top 4 and win a cup, yet was hounded out.
This. Mourhino probably would have hand picked this game to be a must win which is why the team was ready for it and eventually won it. I feel Poch believe the way his team plays is good enough to win any football match. While he might be a good tactician, per se, his mentality towards the game is appalling. Probably why he wont win much, if anything.
I think he should try Arsenal. He might have some better luck winning anything with them
Pretty worrying comments by him post match, for Spurs' fans. Where would he go? Has he proved himself enough to earn a top top job? I doubt it. Unless the Caf was hiring a new manager to take over from the outdated Mourinho who has just secured a third final in two years whilst rebuilding a team.
I wonder who’s responsible for the coaching the stepping on opposing players achillies heel? They were doing it all match, surely can’t be accidental.
You're doing Wenger very much unfavor. The old Wenger before getting sucked into the stadium bubble was able to assemble a team who win 3 PLs. He also won Ligue 1 with Monaco. While not winning UEFA Cup or CL, his teams were able to go to both competition final. He destroyed his own legacy but he actually achieved something to get them destroyed.
Lack of ability to respond to Herrera's winner was pretty noticeable. No ideas at all.
Maybe he got a call from PSG
What has he ever won besides accolades?
It's a disgrace to even suggest he should be leading United out of the tunnel instead of Jose. He epitomizes losing.

What happened man?
Oooooh I like it!
I think the inability of Spurs' players to turn performances into prizes stems from their manager. Why would he go and say before the match that FA cup is unimportant and winning it means nothing. If anything, they should absolutely go for it since PL is out of reach anyway. This was the case last year as well where he downplayed FA cup.
He has definitely built a very good squad but not a winning squad. For all the shit Wenger gets, his team won the FA cup 3 times in last 4 years. In that period where every one was going gaga over Tottenham and Pochettino, they won a total of zero titles

Dortmund hasn’t appointed a new manager right? He is exactly the kind of manager they would want. Good at developing youngsters, getting them to compete, good football. And even there he doesn’t have the pressure to win trophies with Bayern at the helm.
Good manager but he's not a winner. He's still got all to prove.
Not sure the Spurs players will want to hear Pochettino talking about how Spurs need 4 more years to get it right.
Casual look is enough.
Arsenal need a new manager.....
Looks like he's thinking about going to me with those comments
Poch will be a winner, but he needs and is missing the one ingredient to make it happen. Money! It's kind of all down to Levy now......
I think he’s a very good manager but still in a little naive in the big games. Much like Pep he has only one way of winning a game and this is his weakness.
I don’t really get the ‘he needs to win a title’. Spurs were nothing before he came and now they have some top players. Kane was being loaned to the likes of Millwall, Alli was still at the Dons, Alderwerield was at Southampton, Verteghon at Ajax. He’s has put this team together with very little money and has been battling the big boys.

Poch is no different than Moyes,he has won nothing in FOUR seasons at Spurs, yet, and this is probably more closer to the mark, some of our "fanbase" probably do not like Mourinho on a personal level which clouds the actual facts that we have and are making crystal clear progress!!
This was a stand out feature for me. Big game, big moments, this is where the real top managers can influence games. Spurs weren't unlucky yesterday, no last minute sucker punch in a game they controlled. As soon as United went ahead everyone knew they would sit in a low compact block and try and hit Lukaku or latterly Rashfords runs but Pochettino had no answers or ideas how to change things. If this was his first semi-final, first season with at the club ect, then fine, but this is becoming the theme: League cup final against Chelsea 2015, title run in with Leicester, Chelsea last year, Juventus, United yesterday. There's probably more in his time. SAF, Mourinho, great managers find ways to win games like this, they will always lose some, but not everytime.
Around Christmas, if Mourinho had for some reason left then Poch would have been my first choice, in some ways he still would be, but there is something missing when the moment is there to deliver.
I'd probably jump if i was him. I think he's taken them as far as he can and i can't see them continuing to compete with the bigger clubs due to spending restrictions and wage caps etc. He's done a good job and developed some top, world class players, but i can only see it going backwards from here so now would be a good time to call it.
He just seems to have no idea of how to win when it gets to these tense stages. It's a bit of a worry for his long term aspirations.
I am actually complimenting Wenger on the fact he still did more than Pochettino
Sorry if I were off mark, but your post was all just about Wenger winning top 4 trophy and less prestige Cup, when in reality, what gave Wenger that much time/ patience is the fact that long ago he was one of the 2 top managers in England with real trophies to show. That's what I thought as unfavor only remember Wenger's later years failure just to say he is slightly better than Poch's non achievement.
Or the fans. It's not like they need a great deal of strengthening. That squad is good enough to win trophies, even if they are the League or FA Cup.
Comparing Wenger to Pochettino is laughable. Wenger has won titles in multiple leagues. During the 'austerity' period Wenger was getting to CL quarter finals and one semi final.
The biggest achievement of this Spurs side under this manager might actually be beating Real Madrid 3-1. And I say it's an achievement because that's what the Spurs fans make it out to be (along with the media). No one except Spurs fans will remember this team, because they were overshadowed by Leicester fecking city. That's an actual underdog story, not Spurs who have multiple world class players in the team and still can't win a single trophy.
