Is finishing runner up in a cup competition where they had the following record (W6 D2 L5) really anything special?
Pochettino has had five seasons as Spurs manager, and has won nothing. He has finished the following number of points behind the champions in each of those seasons:
14/15 -23 points, 5th place
15/16 -11 points, 3rd place
16/17 -17 points, 2nd place
17/18 -23 points, 3rd place
18/19 -27 points, 4th place
I would argue that the pinnacle of his achievement to date is coming third in a two horse race in 2016. It's easily the closest he's come to actually achieving their main target.
Choking in cup competitions is nothing new for Spurs under numerous managers. Spurs have won one League Cup this century. Pochettino has maintained this proud tradition with three runners up medals over his five years.
Pochettino has been a manager of three clubs over more than a decade now, totalling 500 matches and has won feck all.
Brendan Rodgers has won more this season than Pochettino has ever won as a manager.
