Got better as the game progressed today. Good to see.
He had a point to prove. Cute management by Poch.Indeed, it was nice to see he did not tire
100%Doesn’t take much for fans to turn on a player. If a player is happy not to play especially in a big derby game, you would have to question his ambition. If there had been a big problem then we know how Poch deals with them. The fact he played today suggests talk of a rift was overblown. Poch handled it well again.
Let’s see what happens? I thought he was ‘gone, put your mortgage on it’?
Nope, you just got suckered into believing there's more to it than it was - he was left out of the NLD for good reason, and whilst being expectedly annoyed there's nothing more to it than that. He could still leave, but will have nothing to do with what happened at the weekend:I'd still put the mortgage on it to be honest.
Compare it to the Walker situation at the end of last season. I think there are some similarities and we as fans wouldn't know for sure if Pochettino is considering replacing him.Nope, you just got suckered into believing there's more to it than it was - he was left out of the NLD for good reason, and whilst being expectedly annoyed there's nothing more to it than that.

Exactly. The poster come out after anonunced wasnt playing vs Arsenal and said he's definitely gone blah blah despite the fact Poch has demonstrated visibly a good raport with him still, as have the players. Noone knows, he could still leave for sure....Compare it to the Walker situation at the end of last season.

I hope he stays. Cracking player when on form and his attitude on the pitch always seems good. Hopefully what has been is in the past and repaired by Pochettino.

A little more insight and, perhaps, an indication that he isn't at odds with the decision-makers.
"Before Tuesday night, I thought I was close to being 100 per cent and then, first half, I was horrendous.
I thought I was getting hooked at half-time and it gave me a bit of a reality check, maybe I’m not as close as I thought I was.
Second half I thought I did better, I contributed quite a lot in the second half."
Like I said before, whether he goes or not is a different question. It was you going over the top on him definitely leaving because he was left out of that game. He’s had a long term injury and was being man managed accordingly. If it was any other player there wouldn’t be an eyebrow raised. He ended up playing the next game in what was arguably our strongest available team....I still believe he’s definitely gone. We’ll see. There was a poster on here when the Walker situation blew up patronising everyone saying there was nothing to the story, the press were making it up and he’d definitely be staying.
Lo and behold Walker goes and Poch later comes out and confirms there was a problem - he’d asked for a transfer.
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to what Rose says in the press. He’s been burned badly before so isn’t going to be caught again.
Maybe he’ll stay but I still stand by my belief there’s a problem and he’ll be on his way in January or the summer.

Think you're spot on. It's like Rose is now hooked on the media attention. Maybe he is he also using it as a subtle way of trying to exert authority over Poch: i.e. drop me and I'll make trouble? Or trying to use the media to turn it into a competition between the big boys for his signature?You can tell Poch is getting a bit bored of Rose though, creating drama for himself. In his latest press conference he’s clearly annoyed Rose has said something that he would know is going to get picked up and made a bigger deal than it is by the papers.
Rose is playing this ‘I’m such an honest, straight talking guy that tells it like it is’ card too much for my liking. I’m glad he feels he is doing better, and you can see his confidence coming back in the Dortmund second half where he felt like he could beat a man one on one. But it always seems to be him saying things to the press that are going to cause a stir. It’s one thing being honest but these guys are trained to give bland responses so the team can focus on playing football. He forces Poch to deal with questions and as much as some fans may appareciate his straight talking nature, I’d rather our squad was able to focus on football without distractions.
As an aside, he’s so obviously gone at the end of the season. This is a truce of convenience.
