Mate you're taking one sentence in isolation from a much longer point Poch was making - you're a tabloid journalist's dream!

I didn’t say it.
? I know you didn't. I mean you're focusing on one of his sentences in isolation, rather than interpreting it in the context of everything else he said.

But ypu keep repeating it.

In isolation i think Poch's comments on needing 10 years to change the mentality to win PL/CL would be fair enough...however, on the back of the previous comments about the other two trophies not being important "save for inflating egos"...? Hmmmm...

Poch was daft or whoever OK’ed it!

My feelings were if I’m Eriksen, Dele and Harry, I’m thinking ‘another’ five years before we win something!
I’m off!
I don't think that is what he's saying. It could take another five years to establish a culture where we never take games lightly and don't accept not winning. Like United under Ferguson.

5 more years is how I read it too. Not as a definitive number, just in a ‘I’ve tried for 5 years but it might take another 5’ figure of speech way.
I am sure his press conference won’t be where the players are hearing Poch’s thoughts on this for the first time. I’d imagine there was a bit of a rollicking or some such after the game and at training on Monday morning.
The game against Southampton will be the next test in terms of expected effort (given that effort tonight and Saturday should be automatic).

In the context of the rest of his comments, I think it's clear he was challenging the players - to change their mentality now - rather than suggesting they accept it will take five-ten years to win trophies, and that this is out of their control. E.g. Eriksen played brick against Burnley, so if he wants to win trophies now he should start by looking at himself.

Poch has gone from a very calm and almost Zen like figure to full on Ian Holloway
They must have slipped something in his water bottle at Burnley.

Someones very protective aren’t they? For a minute there i thought this was a place for people to discuss tottenham and express their opinions.

He’s made me feel a bit better with his interview. I still love the Argie bastard.

What did he say? Pitchforks and boiling oil for our poor performers?

Not seen it, as soon as we lose i have to switch off the studio, with all the pundits talking crap, it’s part of my wind down... what did he say? I hope he said Eriksen is going to get fisted by Marigold?

Not a lot. Just his aura.
He was asked if he’d criticise Toby and he said mistakes happen in football. Anytime you score you could argue a mistake gives you the opportunity.
Said football is great when you’re winning but hard when you lose a couple of games but we all need to remain calm and not panic.
I’m fudging steaming over tonight. It was an abomination but Poch is the man.

Paul Walsh
Not at all.
Said it was an even game. Different to Burnley where we didn’t match their energy.
Football is about mistakes, no criticism of the defence.
It was calm Poch. But not very happy Poch.

He looks angry at them and angry at himself. Saturday will be very different.
