“Are the players good enough?” was the stark question put to Mauricio Pochettino after today’s defeat. That’s what we all want to hear him say – blame the useless bunch on the pitch and create a storyline.
But as you’d expect, the ever diplomatic Pochettino didn’t fall for it.
“The players need to take responsibility,” he said, before adding “and so do I.”
We don’t want to see people taking responsibility, we want to see our team win some games. His answer was a bit of a dodge of the question – but then again you can’t expect someone hired by a pair of sporting directors to both question their decisions and the players he’s working with.
