I must admit i Havent read much on poch only that he wasnt any good at espanyol so i stand corrected on that.
Like you i never wanted him but We have got him now so We have to see it through cant afford change.
Absolutely. I totally understand that not everyone wanted Poch appointed as manager but you've summed it up nicely: it's got to be seen through as we can't keep getting fed up and wanting change all the time.

on form, and you better drop Rose today - he has been suspect the last couple of games.

It's tempting. But I thought Rose played well against Brighton. What's confusing when talking about form, is the fact we're playing almost 2 different sides in the cups. So Rose plays well against dross, and gets a reprieve for the league game. Similar with Lamela, I can't tell if he's on form or not! He's useful in the cups against shit sides, but he hasn't set the world alight in any of his league starts.

Completly counter productive keep changing just see what happens in january, Im gearing myself up for a couple to come in which might make a difference.

Watched the last few mins again, loved all the guys reaction to Kanes goal. You see Lloris going nuts and everyone's reaction seemed genuine. Although it was a shocking game, hopefully the guys will get a big lift and do the team spirit wonders after what must have been a tough few weeks together.

Totally agree. We are a confidence team. This should give every one a massive lift.

Which is out achilles heel.... Because we lose it at any sign of difficulty.

Which made today a nice change. Though if benteke hadn't been sent off we would not have gone on to win it.

Look at the sending off again, lamela getting stuck in, shoulder to shoulder with benteke, this is what got benteke's blood boiling, lamela a soft touch, i don't think so!

Of course he is.

It is obvious, Ade :)


I do wonder what is going on there - beyond seeing the last manager who sat Ade got sacked before christmas. Almost seems like Poch is trying to make a point with Ade, and show Levy that he needs a new striker in January. But, I also think there are things that happen on the training pitch that we don't see, or are privy to - something has to be different with Ade's attitude there to warrant even the vice-captain role. So, Ade must be doing something right, somewhere...
