Raymond Verheijen believes Tottenham’s end of season collapse is due to Mauricio Pochettino’s training methods burning out the players.

Newcastle United endured a bad Premier League season which has eventually resulted in an embarrassing relegation into the Championship.
Arsenal most some of the most technically gifted players in the world, they play at perhaps the world’s nicest stadium in front of 60,000 fans every week and have one of the world’s biggest fanbases.
The point was effectively all City needed in manager Manuel Pellegrini’s last match to ensure they will finish in the top four and therefore be back alongside Europe’s elite after reaching the semifinals this season.
Tottenham failed to win any of their last four games to come third, beaten for the runners-up spot by Arsenal, who finished above their London rivals for a 21st consecutive season.
Redknapp believes that despite Tottenham’s final-day disappointment, they are now head and shoulders above Arsenal. It was a great atmosphere and I could really feel it.
“I apologise to our families that suffered behind us”.
Tottenham trailed 2-0 at half-time at St James’ Park yesterday (Sunday) and, although Erik Lamela halved the deficit on the hour-mark and Magpies forward Aleksandar Mitrovic was then sent off, Rafael Benitez’s side scored three unanswered goals in the final 17 minutes.
He wrote on Twitter: “Today wasn’t nowhere near good enough”.
‘It would have been nicer to have won the award on a better day, that’s for sure, ‘ he said.
Pochettino said: “We showed this wasn’t a team that had played well through the whole season, and I think this was my worst day as a manager”. “I’m having Lasagne for dinner”. “I think we have a good team”, the Chronicle reported that he said. “We’re sad at being unable to avoid relegation, but happy to give the fans this kind of send-off”, Benitez added.
The Frenchman concluded: “We want to win more”.
As much as Newcastle were impressive, it was perhaps one of the most unprofessional performances the Premier League has seen by Tottenham Hotspur.
Kane and his team-mates watched champions Leicester City lift the Premier League trophy last weekend and he said: “We know it hurts, we’re professionals”.
Quoting a Daily Telegraph article in which it was reported that an “inquest” will be held into Tottenham’s form in the latter months, Verheijen questioned the suggestion that “Spurs are insistent that questions or criticisms regarding Pochettino’s hard-work approach are baseless”.
