Imagine getting flexed on by a League Two team
What on earth is he on about? Sounds like the nonsense you hear from van Gaal.Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said he needs time to overcome the "different agendas in the squad" after his side's difficult start to the season continued with a Carabao Cup exit at League Two Colchester United.
"We need time again to build that togetherness that you need when you are competing at this level," he said.
Uncertainty around the futures of influential players including forward Christian Eriksen and defenders Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose and Toby Alderweireld left Pochettino eager for the 2 September European transfer window deadline to pass so he had certainty about his squad.
But with none of those players leaving - plus Eric Dier falling out of favour - Pochettino said a group that has been largely stable during his five years at Spurs now needs a period of certainty.
"When you have an unsettled squad always it's difficult and you lose time, then you need time to recover the time you lose," he added.
"That's where we are. Maybe our performances are good but you need this extra, which is mental, connection. It's energy to be all together, not to have different agendas in the squad.
"We are in a period where it's a bit tough for us but we keep working to find a solution.
"When this type of thing happens it's about staying clear and fresh and calm. We're trying to find solutions and we only need time."
Kinda sucks that the club didn't risk allowing him to rest properly. They need him but him being constantly injured is worse in the long run.
Makes sense. Both are currently champions of Europe :PNike kits are all palette swap garbage though. At least ND have some imagination, Liverpool will just be wearing whatever the Portugal home kit is that year in red when Nike takeover.
Please can we have an upset at Stamford Bridge tonight? Ta.
Edit* That'll be a no then.
I'm rooting for Grimsby! Not that arsed about the Chelsea reserves!Just wait until we have Reece James in the first team, he's awesome. The future is bright :)
The tying goal in the United game. I think he is 16yrs old
Pretty much. Can't ask for a better night for him!I know it's against a shite Manchester United, but that really is what dreams are made of for 'kids' like him.

Red and Green kits? They're 100% getting Portugal's template from this next Euro hahahaFooty Headlines say that the Away kit next year would be Green and the 3rd kit would be Black and Grey.

Edit:
Aww, shame Rochdale couldn't win it in the penalties. They did well though, especially with it being an away game.
It drops 30% with no cl in 2 successive years.I don't know how true but I seen that Adidas has a clause in their contract with United that if they miss Champions League next year the payment goes down.
Shame we got Liverpool, because Emery will almost certainly play the first team now.
