So it's either a really poor squad, or one that's so good that missing top 4 would be an outrage.
Is Pochettino's time at Spurs coming to an end?

Squishy's been here for ages, and still no trophy.

I mean if you quote two different posters and expect them to be saying only one thing or the other...
Just an interesting mix of opinions.
I genuinely don't know if they're a massive overrated squad, or are quality.
The jury suggests the former this season.
Its definitely a mix. Few players of their squad are shite but not that shite that they should miss top 4 considering the levels of performances they have put up in recent years.
I'm not saying their squad is the best but they have better players than Leicester and Chelsea. If they finish in top 6 it would not be tragic but right now they look worse than us.
Spurs not finishing top 4 would be a disaster for Poch. They clearly have the third best squad in England, fourth at the very least. Prior to the season the consensus was they were clearly the third best side in the league.
He's not getting this team to perform under par. I like him and think this is a result of the squad perhaps being tired of his practices, but it still falls on him to get them firing. If he can't, he should be sacked.

Our squad is good. Bit unbalanced with two ageing central defenders, crap fullbacks and no real width, but enough to be getting top four, or at an absolute minimum top six. Where Pochettino has us right now is a disgrace.
But investment is absolutely needed. But Poch spent a good deal of money on Lo Celso and Sessegnon, yet the former gets 5 minutes here or there (yeah he was injured, but even at the start he was given no chances, and now he's recovered he gets what? brought on in the 88th?) and the latter was injured, recovered and now doesn't even get in the squad. That's like 90 million worth of transfers that we haven't even seen remotely have an impact this season. And Ndombele gets left on the bench for key games too.
Basically, we are definitely a hell of a lot better than we've shown thus far, but also definitely need more money spent. The decision to not bring in a right back was a travesty and has left us reliant on Aurier. I'm currently struggling a bit with the signing of Lo Celso too, because whilst I'm sure he's a great player, did we really need another attack minded cm more than we needed a proper DM? With Dier pretty much done, we badly needed someone to stick behind Winks/Ndombele and give them a solid platform.
Too many of them want out, they aren’t giving 100%. Alderweireld, Eriksen, Rose etc should have been sold in the summer. It must effect the whole squad knowing a few influential players want out.
For feck sake.
"Eriksen's talent is thinning like his hair"
Not to mention they’ll lose Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Eriksen for free at the end of the season or for peanuts in January. The squad management vis a vis fullbacks is baffling too. A lot of this is on the much heralded Daniel Levy.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

. Think that applies to Rooney as well, and why RVP is held in such high regard by United fans, even though he declined massively at the end.Uh huh.
Let's be honest, nothing was going to improve over time.
Parting of the ways would've happened in the summer.

I think this latest news may finally have killed off the great Glaston of Spur for good.
A sad day all round really.
That's a good way to end this speculation - please take the discussion to the latest thread.
