Pochettino’s first Tottenham team: Flops to get a second chance?
Posted Thursday, July 17, 2014 by Talksport.co.uk
Last season was a write off for Tottenham Hotspur.
Numerous new signings, the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas, a string of poor displays, heavy defeats and a madcap few months under the gilet-sporting Tim Sherwood left Spurs fans feeling a little demoralised.
But now former Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino is at the helm and things are beginning to settle down.
The first-team, and several players looking to make some senior appearances this season, look to be enjoying training, while Roberto Soldado, Erik Lamela, Lewis Holtby and Sandro all appear pretty happy in pictures on Instagram and Facebook after tough campaigns last time out.
Now the squad are setting off for America as they begin their pre-season tour and although a whole host of World Cup stars will be unavailable, Spurs look like being able to call on an extremely strong squad for their opening clash, which is against Seattle Sounders on Saturday, July 19.
But is this how Mauricio Pochettino's first starting XI will line up?
