Thrashings, what thrashings

Thrashings, what thrashings, I don't remember any thrashings is the message from Mauricio Pochettino is he Friday press conference.

Thrashings, what thrashings


It is a view the players ought to take into the game as well and perhaps we supporters should forget them to, or they might bring us back down to earth.

Manchester City away will be tough, of course it will, they can afford to pay the wages for any player they want and thus buy any player they want, we have to cut our cloth, but a hand made suit can still be sharp.

"The reality is I don't remember the results. It's important to know that this is another season, another philosophy, another game. I think it's history.

"We need to arrive on Saturday with the idea that we believe in our philosophy and our style and get the points, that's the most important thing. The past is the past and it's important to look forward. 
"The most important thing is we arrive in a good moment and, after our victory against Southampton, we need to keep the momentum and reproduce the same action during the game against Southampton and try to get the three points."

Tottenham have a few doubts, Kyle Naughton is making progress as is Kyle Walker, now back running again. DeAndre Yedlin's Latvian passport should see him arrive early, while arriving late from international duty are Emmanuel Adebayor and Nabil Bentaleb.

"We have some doubts with different players that arrived from their national teams, but we have another day to analyse and train and after that we will decide the squad to travel to Manchester. 
"Hugo arrived yesterday and was good but we need to analyse and test him and we have another day to decide. 
"Chadli didn't play for Belgium. It's OK but we need to test him tomorrow and decide after that if it's possible for him to be in the squad or in the team."

Hugo, no passes after 14 seconds this time please, we'd prefer a better start!
