Bite Size Takeaways From Poch’s Latest Precious Presser

⚫️ The challenge is to revisit the intensity and the success of the first half against Crystal Palace.

⚫️ Mental issues are effecting individual players and the team collectively. Poch more than hinted at an absence of dynamism in the group. That motivation was needed from both the physical and mental side of the team.

⚫️ Is Poch concerned about Eriksen. No, maybe it wasn’t his best game. That’s some diplomacy there. Erkisen was undeniably abysmal.

⚫️ Dele Alli’s needs time to regain match fitness.

⚫️ ‘Be careful’ warned Poch when asked about Harry Kane’s post match quotes which included the phrase ‘making the same mistakes’. Quite how there is a ‘translation’ issue when one Englishman is speaking to another is beyond me.

⚫️ The gaffer is developing a trend of disappearing down gobbledegook rabbit holes; he didn’t hear what Harry said. He’s not comfortable being quoted what Harry said. How enigmatic.

Something quite innocuous has blown up to reveal – yet again – that Poch can be a delicate flower.

Kane on the bench tomorrow?
