Mauricio Pochettino was like a ‘rookie manager’ in Tottenham’s Champions League final defeat to Liverpool, says Tony Cascarino

Tony Cascarino felt Mauricio Pochettino got his decisions wrong for the Champions League final and ‘managed like a rookie manager’.


Tottenham were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid on Saturday.


Pochettino decided to drop semi-final hat-trick hero Lucas Moura in favour of Harry Kane, who had not played since picking up an ankle injury in the quarter-final with Manchester City.

Cascarino told talkSPORT’s Weekend Sports Breakfast that the Spurs boss got the big calls wrong for the final.


He said: “Kane, Winks and Trippier were three names I had written down yesterday morning.


“Kane, I just didn’t get it at all. Football is littered with some clubs, and internationally, that selected players who have been injured and I don’t like it.

“I think it is silly because you cannot prepare a player for a match, especially of this magnitude.


“I felt Poch really managed his team like a rookie manager.


“Poch got it wrong last night. It’s hard to criticise a guy who has done so brilliantly for a football club and like we chatted earlier about the finances of the club, being competitive, it has been exceptional.











“Poch had all the decisions to make in this game and not Klopp as we knew how they played and their personnel, we knew that.


“I think his team lack experience because he is always wanting to improve players. Poch has always gone for that.


“He wants to get a player in and make them better. He’s done that and that’s fine but you are missing that in the final.”
