News: Mauricio Pochettino is seething with his team after latest display

|

Mauricio Pochettino didn’t hold back in his press conference after Tottenham threw away another two-goal lead.

The Spurs boss has claimed that his players did not follow the tactical plan and even though they went in 2-1 up at the break, the Argentine was not happy with the performance.

Pochettino believed his side gave up too many chances to Olympiakos and was annoyed at the lack of control that his players had on the game.

Pochettino also accused the team of lacking urgency and not anticipating situations.

Finally, the Argentine attempted to deflect the blame away from himself by claiming that the result had nothing to do with tactics but was instead down to his team not showing enough effort on the pitch.

This was an explosive press conference from Pochettino, and it shows signs of a manager who is growing frustrated at the current situation.

He was delighted on Saturday after Spurs trounced Crystal Palace, but he clearly felt let down by his players on Tuesday.

The focus will now turn to Leicester City on Saturday in what is sure to be a tough examination for Pochettino’s side, and he will want a more controlled display.
