Arsenal fans continue to mock Pochettino with Wenger comparisons

Arsenal fans have continued to mock former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino following his sacking on Tuesday.

Spurs parted ways with the Argentine after five years in charge in north London, a decision which left many shocked.

Pochettino, who has since been replaced by Jose Mourinho, was always compared to former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger during the pair’s time in north London.

Former England international’s Darren Bent and Matthew Upson famously stated in 2017 that the former Spurs boss reminded them of Wenger’s early years at Arsenal. 

So, following his sacking, @SemperFiArsenal brought Bent and Upson’s claims back to light while also sharing Wenger’s and Pochettino’s achievements during their first five years.

The post went down extremely well with these Arsenal fans.

Wenger won the domestic double twice during his first five seasons at Highbury, while Pochettino failed to win any silverware with Spurs.

Yes, the Argentine worked wonders with his resources during his Tottenham tenure, but Upson and Bent’s comments have ultimately come back to bite them on the bottom.
