Played: 182
Won: 100
Drawn: 41

Mauricio Pochettino is the first Tottenham manager since Keith Burkinshaw to win 100 games with the club. Bill Nicholson won 401 games with Spurs. Keith Burkinshaw won 182. He was manager after Bill Nicholson in the late 70’s, early 80’s.

DAVINSON SANCHEZ

“I am so happy with him,” Pochettino said before Saturday’s Premier League encounter with West Bromwich Albion. “He is doing well, very well. He’s only 21 years old but he is more mature than that. In only a few months, he’s showing he can do a fantastic job for us. You see against Dortmund how many times he was with Aubameyang one v one. Or look against Swansea against Tammy Abraham, or Real Madrid against Cristiano Ronaldo. How many central defenders can play one v one and escape? How many players can be tight and press and think ‘If you run, I run’ because they are so confident in their running? Not many centre-backs in the world can do this. But we expect more from him. He’s one of the best today, but there is massive potential for him to improve.”

Asked why Sánchez has adjusted to the rigours of the Premier and Champions League so quickly, Pochettino said: “Because he’s so clever, very humble and he’s very open to learn.
“He’s a player that when you tell him something his reaction is to be open and be critical with himself. That is a massive skill for a player, when he’s so open to improve”.

DANNY ROSE

Danny Rose seems to feel that he deserves a role in the Spurs team. He was “fuming” after being left out of NLD.

– unfortunately Danny that role must be earned. But he said he was not angry at Poch but understood the decision. Go figure.

Danny Rose embracing the support of Tottenham Hotspur fans since his return to first-team affairs. “There’s no reason why Spurs supporters shouldn’t have me in their hearts!”

– Rose made a point of going over and applauding the Spurs supporters at full-time who had been singing his name during the Dortmund match.

“I am the boss, that is the problem”.

26th Trippier – 1.6 chances a game
46th Moreno – 1.1 chances a game
47th Cresswell – 1.1 chances a game

– Daily Express. And he has missed 41/61 matches

VS WBA

Nothing less than a magnificent win to get us back on track. I dun understand why Poch changes system and personnel between UCL and EPL. I say he shd stick to UCL system all the way. He got clobbered agst Arse*. It was the same agst MU. I swear to u it looked the same disinterest, unmotivated, unnecessary to push oneself, kinda effort in both games. Lloris looked jittery as always in big away games – including agst Chelsea at Wembley. Poch still got a lot learning and desire as a Spurs fan to catch up with. He is falling back on SAF having a long wait before trophy mentality. I dun think it’s advisable given the current situation and environment… I want to go on ranting… Really hard being a Spurs fan. Really hard.

Anyway, looking forward to the game later, as always. If all goes to plan, I see u guys at Sahara. God Bless us all and God Speed to Spurs.
