da betsson： Tony Cascarino says he is “sceptical” about Mauricio Pochettino’s chances of turning things around at Tottenham Hotspur in his latest column in The Times, suggesting he is incapable of saving this situation.
What did he say?
Well, the pressure appears to be growing on the Argentine manager following the dreadful 3-0 defeat against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, which followed on from the 7-2 thrashing against Bayern Munich.
Spurs have already been knocked out of the Carabao Cup and lie a massive 13 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League, suggesting two of their hopes of winning a trophy are already gone.

Writing in The Times, Cascarino has doubted the 47-year-old’s ability to get the north London outfit back on track: ‘Mauricio Pochettino’s record entitles him to a fair crack at turning things around but I am sceptical as to whether he can. If they lose to Watford in their next game after the international break, he is finished. He is under pressure and making poor decisions.’
Is he right?
He may well be.
For perhaps the first time during his Tottenham career there are doubts over the former Southampton boss’ ability to get the team out of the situation they currently find themselves in, especially with some of their key players out of contract next summer and their futures still not sorted, and rumours of discontent in the camp, as per The Athletic.
Tottenham often look toothless in attack, while they are leaking goals – especially away from home – with Pochettino seemingly not knowing his best XI right now.
While Daniel Levy was reportedly ready to stick by the man he appointed in 2014 following the Bayern embarrassment, if the latest display against the Seagulls is followed up by another loss against a Watford side who sit firmly in the Premier League relegation zone, then you wouldn’t be surprised if the point of no return is reached, as Cascarino says.
