Tottenham Hotspur have got off to their finest start in the Premier League, yet they have not been at their free-flowing best.
Pochettino’s Spurs have got off to their best ever start in the Premier League, and victory over Manchester City tonight will propel them above Pep Guardiola’s side.
Yet the Argentine boss insists that he is not in the best place, due to his growing frustrations over a number of issues.
Pochettino said: “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.
“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 the circumstance 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.”
Spurs have been well short of their free flowing best so far this term, but they have ground out results.
Tottenham have shown great resilience to win when not playing at the top of their game.
Pochettino’s side arguably face their toughest test of the season so far tonight though.
City have continued their brilliant form over from last campaign and remain unbeaten so far this term.
And Tottenham will surely have to perform at close to their maximum potential to have any chance of taking the three points.
