Perhaps Spurs will defy reality, and make Liverpool look like a Serbian pub at Anfield later today.
The odds of Pochettino watching his side win at Anfield, let alone score another 5 times this afternoon, are horribly long.
Therefore, a Tottenham victory will be more about luck than anything legitimate.
This round-up piece for Sky Sports this morning all too rationally delivers the conclusions that the “BELIEVE!” squawking Levyologists are incapable of understanding.
Pochettino’s group are so tired on so many fronts.
The Tottenham squad is nothing shy of a failed marriage. What was the topic of conversation in that Mayfair restaurant? Of happier times, of how they first met. How they had ‘grown as people’ over the years?
What was Mauricio’s toast, “Here’s to getting the band back together!”?
This squad is incapable of winning anything other than the feint praise that comes to an employee who gets within touching distance of his salary cap – without having to roll about on the floor, begging.
Levy couldn’t afford to invigorate the squad effectively, and throw £340million into the stadium project.
Nor could he get away with shifting any more big first team names, after Kyle Walker was sold, as the club needed to sell season tickets.
Does Pochettino’s project gain a new lease of life if Spurs are magnificent today? That doesn’t make any sense. We’ll only be waiting for West Ham or Arsenal, or a resurgent Chelsea to remind us of the truth.
