Video: ‘I think they loved Pochettino’ – Gary Neville states Tottenham stars aren’t fans of Nuno’s system

By Eddie Razo -

Tottenham Hotspur had a difficult weekend as Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad fell 3-0 less than 35 minutes into the match against Arsenal FC in the latest edition of the North London derby. 

Following the matchup, Sky Sports’ Gary Neville discussed what’s wrong with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. The pundit stated that neither of the Tottenham superstars looked happy. 

Neville elaborates by saying that neither seems too thrilled playing in Nuno’s system, and the two players would prefer a style which they had under form manager Mauricio Pochettino. 

“I think they loved Pochettino. He was innovative, the rotation, style of play, front foot, and proactive; they loved him. Those players adored him. Jose [Mourinho] has come in with a different style of play, Nuno [Espirito Santo] has come in with a different style of play,” Neville said.

“Those players to me look like they want a high-pressing, Pochettino style coach, who will play out from the back and get the center-backs on the six-yard line rather than one who sits behind the ball and counterattacks. My point is that players can look like they’re not giving it as much if they’re not responding to the style of play of the manager.”

Do the players at Man U love Solskjaer ?

Neville needs to look closer to home before criticising others.

Useless pundit what does that even mean? they loved Poch, what a poor excuse these lot of players don’t care they are championship level players an average players the likes of Dele Dier Winks Sanchez etc there is 3 players who are Pl players 2 of them don’t even want to play for the club Kane, N’Dombele that leaves Son the only quality player no manager can fix this lot and Mr Baldy can’t understand that or don’t want to, he believes and wants Winks for £40 mill Dele £80-90 mill etc the egomaniac has ruined Spurs football team as his reign continues wait and see.
