Tottenham Hotspur are at risk of losing some key players before the end of the month.
Spurs put in a woeful performance against Newcastle United, as they were beaten for the first time in the new campaign.
Tottenham were worryingly poor throughout the match, with Pochettino’s selection decisions being called into question.
Both Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen were left out by Spurs, and the bold calls from Pochettino backfired, as the Lilywhites struggled to find their best form.
Both Vertonghen and Eriksen have some doubts over their futures at Tottenham, with their contracts running down, while it is still not certain that Toby Alderweireld will stick with the north London club.
And Pochettino admitted that the Spurs squad is not very settled right now.
He said: “I think this is my sixth season and the most unsettled group we are working with. That is why we are relaxed and calm. Some situations we cannot fix. Nothing to say about that, situations that are going on in the squad. Still we need to wait.
“That is the circumstances after playing the Champions League on June 1, we knew that some situations like this would happen but for us and the club it’s difficult to handle. What can we do? We can only wait.”
Pochettino may well be delighted when the transfer deadline closes across Europe, so he can bring some more stability back to Spurs.
Tottenham’s performance against Newcastle have left serious questions being asked, even at this early stage of the campaign.
