Pochettino hits back at criticism about Tottenham ahead of Southampton clash

Tottenham Hotspur have been showing not that great performance so far holding the eight place in the Premier League table. Spurs signed Ryan Sessegnon, Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele during summer transfer window and got a new stadium to spend their season there. However, Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t believe that the team’s progress off the field means they will play any better on it this time around. “Who says that?” Pochettino said to the Guardian when it was stated that Tottenham are in a better position now than they were last year. “Challenges appear, personal circumstances appear. It doesn’t mean more names make a better team. It doesn’t follow that, if you have a £1.2bn stadium, you will win more games. Football is not an ordinary business. Ninety-nine per cent of the time two plus two is not four. That is why football is so complex and why a lot of managers are sacked.” Pochettino’s squad has played eight games in total and has won only two of them. Their next clash will be with Southampton on Saturday.
