I'd back Franco Baresi to catch him in a foot race now

 

Baresi wouldn’t let Kane touch the ball in 90 minutes now, let alone get away from him. 

 

Shows how much english players are so over fucking rated when Kane has been labelled ‘world class’ and is then mentioned in the same sentence as someone who actually was.

Can someone please explain to me why Pochettino is held in such high regard?

 

They lost 13 league games and a shitload more cup games if you factor those in.

 

5 points from their first 4 games so far and most of those points gained completely undeserved.

 

Four straight seasons of top 4 plus a title challenge and a CL final.

This knee-jerk stuff about Pochettino is ridiculous. They were miles clear of top 4 last season, so they rightfully decided to focus all their energy on the CL - similar to us in 2018 - which caused them to drop some meaningless points on their way to finishing top 4.

 

He's got 5 points out of a possible 12, in a run of fixtures where they've played City and Arsenal away from home. The only shocking result is the one to Newcastle - which was a one off game. He was in a CL final a couple of months ago after spending £0 on transfers that summer. How about putting pressure on the man who has a record worse than David Moyes?

Pochettino is top 5 in world football. Like Rafa with us however, he may well have found that the time to get out has been and gone. Hard to see how his standing can get any higher than last summer. That Spurs team won't get stronger than the past few seasons.

He got Spurs to the European Cup final. Spurs. That's turning the vomit on the streets outside the Raz into wine.
