Pochettino: I’m feeling the worst I have in five years with Spurs

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has made the shock admission that he is currently feeling the worst he has in five years at the club.

Spurs host Pep Guardiola’s side at Wembley on Monday, just 24 hours after the NFL game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagles at the national stadium.

Boss Pochettino has guided his side to their best ever Premier League start, taking 21 points from their opening nine games, and victory on Monday will see them go above City in the table.

However, the Argentine has claimed that despite their positive start, he is feeling the worst he has felt at Spurs.

“The season so far, it’s strange because my feeling is the worst feeling I’ve had in the five years that I’ve been here,” Pochettino told reporters. “It’s the worst. My feeling, but it’s the best start ever for the club in the Premier League. It’s strange, no?

“I don’t know, it’s so difficult to explain because many things happen, I am disappointed we are still waiting for the new stadium when the expectation was to be there at the beginning of the season.

“I don’t know, many things happened in the summer, many things that make myself not in my best mood or best humour. I know I always have a good relationship with you [the press] but my feeling is not the best feeling, I had better feeling in previous seasons.”
