Our squad is filled with talent but many questions. Ultimately, we have to back Pochettino and have faith that he is the man to answer these questions and redefine the Spurs way, identity and philosophy. We haven't had a manager stamp his style of football on the club in a few years and with our new leadership, we will definitely have a clear purpose and intent. It is exciting to have a young manager who brings with him a philosophy that is very clear to see on the pitch. As the preseason went on, its easy to see the players buying into his ideas and his authority and respect is clear. The way he talks in the media, he knows what is expected of him and what he agreed to be a part of. There are no delusions of big spending or mediocrity, Poch is here to win and to win with style by getting the most out of our squad and coaching these players up.
Our season also rests on the shoulders of Erik Lamela. If Lamela can score 15 goals, we can push the top 4, if he has another season below expectations, we can expect another fight for Europa League spots. He has all the tools to be a star and it looks like the mental side of the game is coming to him as well at the moment. He is comfortable with his teammates, the culture and most importantly, himself. I went all in this year to buy a Lamela shirt because I want to support our record signing who had a tough year but became a star in his 2nd. I have faith and belief that he will come good because players of that caliber don't lose it. Continue below......
The best case scenario for our season, everything clicks, we stay healthy and our attacking stars (Eriksen and Lamela) hit on all cylinders and the goals pour in. We get 4th place.
The worst case scenario, we struggle with injuries all season long and fail to create enough chances to compete with the top teams. We finish 7th.
My prediction for the season is that we will finish 5th but we will field a team that we are proud of and excited to watch. We will go deep into Europa League, getting to the semi finals.
This is the year that the excitement is brought back to White Hart Lane and the team plays in a way that us supporters will love and see as a reflection of our ambition and footballing expectations.
COME ON YOU SPURS, In Poch We Trust!!!!
