Mauricio Pochettino - Sacked

Noticed Pochettino has been going in and out ofthe change room during the the last few matches. He admitted he went to toilet and so missed an incident involving Alli who threw the ball at the face of a Sunderland player. Wonder if the pressure is getting to Pochettino.

No doubt! There's no way he'd be going to the loo otherwise! :D:p
 
Funny I've noticed in the last couple of games that the cameras have panned onto him seemingly appearing back out of the dressing room, which would be normal if it happens just after half time, but it's normally half way through the 2nd half!

If he has to go then he has to go, and I would rather he go in the toilet than down his trouser leg in the dug out
 
I think what is interesting with yesterday and some of the European games is the evolution of Poch's rotation.

Fairly obvious Poch gets a core group of players he trusts (that was his work last season), what is happening is we are getting to that second/rotation group that is being added to the trusted.
- Original trusted group - Lloris, Walker, Jan, Toby, Rose, Dier, Dembele, Alli, Lamela, Eriksen, Kane
- expanded group - Vorm (must have been very tempting to go for Lloris yesterday), Davies, Trippier, Carroll, Son, Mason, Bentaleb (not completely sure what Poch's current view on Bentaleb is)

That really eases the pressure on the squad, gives us the opportunity to maybe see some rotation in PL games as well (or regular subs).

Have to say, Poch surprises me, his plan/strategy does seem to evolve (not sure I can remember a recent manager who changed anything 18 months in)
 
Great credit has to go to Levy for easing Baldy out, getting Mitchell in as requested and leaving Poch alone for a while now to do what he does.
