The baseless chants of ‘Spurs Are On Their Way To Wembley’ have thankfully subsided and as Spurs wobble about to little discernible purpose, the manager now confesses that he’s bought a club record lemon.
“Football is not about money,” Pochettino said when asked about Sissoko’s absence. “It is about players being better, and that they show on the training ground that they are better than another team-mate and that they deserve to be involved or not. In my opinion, I need to take the decisions and I believe that the players that started in the game [on Saturday] and the players on the bench deserved to be involved in the game. There’s nothing else to [read into] it.
“It’s not frustrating for me. It’s about football. We can see in football different things that happen. You sign a player and then you expect something, and you don’t find what you expected … If another deserved to be involved, like maybe [Georges-Kévin] Nkoudou or Josh Onomah, or [Vincent] Janssen, then why not? Just because we pay money [for someone], do they deserve to play? Sissoko needs to work hard and to show in future that he deserves to be on the team.”
What is beyond depressing here is that Poch could have wandered into any pub in Newcastle and asked at the bar for a reference on Sissoko.
It was the world’s worst kept secret that the 27 year old was a complete and utter time-waster.
But no, Levynomics reigns supreme and what we no have is a bloke with a useless mule mumbling to passers by that the mule he has is useless.
Shy of strategically attaching electrodes to Sissoko, this particular mule is never going to rescind his useless ways.
The problem isn’t the mule, or the bloke trying to get it to work.
The problem as ever is Levy, the Mule Finder General.
Anyone who thinks we stand a snowball’s chain in hell of doing good under Levy needs to reboot their brain,
16 players in since Poch arrived:
Davies, Fazio, Vorm, Alli, Stambouli, Dier, Son, Alderweireld, N’Jie, Wimmer, Trippier, Sissoko, Wanyama, Janssen, N’Koudou & Lopez.
3 Sold off after 1 season Stambouli, Fazio, N’Jie,
8 Can’t usually get a start – Vorm, Davies, Trippier, Wimmer, Janssen, N’Koudou, Lopez, Sissoko
So that’s 11 lemons.
Only 4 Are regular starters – Alli, Toby, Dier, Wanyama
Spurs do not buy players in order to do well on the pitch.
This is not some wild, crazy assertion.
Levy’s delivered one trophy in 15 years, anything to the contrary is jam tomorrow flim-flam.
