Tottenham repair guide: How Pochettino can fix each Spurs star
Danny Rose
No player has made more progress under Pochettino than Tottenham left back Danny Rose. It’s no surprise that he’s been the club’s highest rated player on the season per Whoscored.com.
Despite his excellent form, he’s also capable of continuing to improve. Similar to Kyle Walker, his top-notch athleticism allows him to get away with mistakes that other fullbacks pay dearly for. Under Pochettino, it must be said that his positioning has improved dramatically.

As a result, it’s the offensive part of Rose’s game that can continue to improve. If he can find a way to convert more of his crosses from dangerous positions, he could open the goal scoring floodgates for Spurs. Again, he doesn’t need to be perfect. He just needs to provide above average deliveries into the box the majority of the time.
Rose can also work to better control the mental rage that makes him so effective. It’s a fine balance between anger and assertiveness for the English left back. His five yellow cards that cost him the Chelsea match show that he still has a bit of work to do on that front.
