MoPo is good at developing players and systems, etc. Apparently. But winning trophies is NOT his strong point. Even Frank got close to winning a trophy with Chels. That FA Cup final against Arsenal when we were essentially robbed by the ref.

Will we win a trophy with MoPo? Maybe not. But . . .maybe a season or two under MoPo will get our squad in order? I see him as a rehab manager.  MoPo has better credentials than that bloke Potter. We have a young squad that is very needy in terms of man-management, there is a lot of work that needs to be done there and MoPo is good at that apparently. Maybe we can at least figure out how to do the 'high press'.

Pochettino believes in "energía universal" (English: universal energy), the idea that people, places and things are charged with a hidden energy, positive or negative.

 

To be honest, he has only managed two bottle jobs, Spurs and PSG. So the answer to your question is that he’s got more chances of winning trophies with us than before, and I believe that our team is good enough to challenge for a Cup next season once Pochettino starts clearing the dressing room and working with the team. And, who knows, maybe we can start challenging for the title in two seasons again.

Lose against Newcastle and our home record will be 666 which sums up the season. I don't give a toss about him being ex Spurs anyone who does hasn't got the best interests of the club but saying that if it goes badly the fans will get on his back for his Spurs connections it happened to Conte and Mourinho cause of their Chelsea connections so it's not unique it's what football fans do.

Wait we play 19 home games and 19 away games in the PL season. Yours adds up to 18 games (including a loss to come vs Newcastle). Which game got missed?

Ah so 667 then. Well we avoided 007 can frank avoid double 6 7? Not with choices like he has been making...

Glad it’s finally resolved. Still all the work to do. Everything is sounding good at the moment, but we will see. Hopefully we are able to offload the players we need to get rid of, due to wages and clubs knowing we have to sell, we will find out soon enough.
 

cautious optimism at the moment.

That's a very poor midfield, Enzo has nobody to play with, gets overplayed, gets injured and we're done.

If his work permit is sorted then Santos also becomes an option.

Where is Casadei

Probably on another loan. Have to see which of the youth he deems good enough to play right away.

Apparently any youth not for the first team needs to go out on loan.

Really wish people would stop with this Chalobah at DM nonsense. Just because he played there for some dosser club in France doesn't mean he's good enough to do it here. If he hasn't been given the opportunity there already it's never gonna happen.

I've warmed up to him and I'm excited about this appointment! With a lot of young players at our club, Pochettino is definitely the manager that can help develop them and he will give opportunities to youth. Even if he doesn't win the league in the next 3 years he will at least put our team in a better shape than it currently is. Looking forward to the announcement and this preseason!

Apparently he has verbalized is 4 man top wish list to Paul Winstanley to start working on right away.

E. Martinez from Villa

D. Rice from West Ham

A. MacAllister from Brighton (Brighton again...)

L. Martinez from Inter.

Probably best part of another 300 mill on just 4 players there.

 

Don't see it happening but if it did I would guess his line up would be something like:

 

E. Martinez

 

James

Silva 

Colwill

Chilwell

 

Rice

Enzo

 

Madueke 

MacAllister 

Nkunku

 

L. Martinez

Look at how Argentina's midfield played in the WC, look at how Enzo was surrounded, look at the characteristics of the players that played with him in the midfield. It's no rocket science. As Einstain once said: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".
