On a par with Son at Left wingback...... we are either going to find a settled team soon and we really get going or this is going to be one long fucking season....Sanchez at RB is just ridiculous decision making.

I couldn't help but wonder if we are going to see Poch start experimenting with the starters and overall lineups. Some players just don't look up to it and I would frankly prefer a less experienced and more fringe player if they are going to give their all instead of flogging the same players if they aren't going to follow the system and play at the level required of them.
Openly admitting he’s lost the dressing room nowPochettino: Players did not respect my plan in Olympiacos draw
Mauricio Pochettino says his Tottenham players did not "respect" his tactical plan during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Olympiakos.www.standard.co.uk
Welp
He totally underestimated the opponent last night. Played Sanchez and Davies like we are playing Bolton Wanderers. Benches the player who scored a brace and had a hand in 2 other goals during the weekend. Keeps on a player who wants out for 90+5 minutes.
Sanchez at RB is just ridiculous decision making.
"He has been here for five years now and we are still making similar mistakes as we were the first year."
I gotta go to defense for Ben a bit. His selection was not the problem here. Ben has played against much more dangerous attackers and done well and Rose likely needed a rest so playing him made sense. And he did just fine.He totally underestimated the opponent last night.

"Tuesday, we party. Finish the transfer window after tomorrow, I think Tuesday we are going to make a big party and celebrate.as I said you're just being miserable - 3rd in the EPL an away point in the CL ... feck it's a total disaster !!!!!!
Poch doesn't learn with his mistakes.
Sanchez at RB is just ridiculous decision making.
Harry Kane says Tottenham have not learned from their mistakes after they threw away a 2-0 lead against Olympiakos in the Champions League.
Despite leading through Kane's penalty and Lucas Moura's emphatic finish, last season's beaten finalists were held to a 2-2 draw in Greece.
"You can see why the manager is frustrated," said England forward Kane.
"He has been here for five years now and we are still making similar mistakes as we were the first year."
Tottenham also conceded a 2-0 lead in the north London derby at Woolwich on 1 September, and Kane said the team had to improve.
"We are not young any more, we are not inexperienced, we have played in big games for club and country," he added.
"We have to try to find a way to get around it and improve and get better. That is all we can try to do."
,.................
Nail on the head from Harry. It feels like 2013/14 all over again tbh.
Looking back at the first goal last night, you can question positioning, decision making etc. fair enough. But I question the effort that Ndombele, Davies, Vertonghen and Alderweireld all made. It was lazy at best and completely disinterested at worst. Four players who seemed to go through the motions like they believed they were all too good for anything Olympiakos could throw at them.Poch is playing a dangerous game with that sort of admission in public.
His principle job is to get the players motivated. If they’re not motivated, he needs to explain why.
So he shouldn't be admitting it but he should be explaining why?Poch is playing a dangerous game with that sort of admission in public.
