Completely agree I have to say I never really rated Poch.. I remember Matt Le Tissier saying his main weakness was he could never change a game with substitutions and his teams never won after going behind. But I have to say our transfer policy has been negligent and this does not help..

Nabil looked so gutless, jogged around like he didn't give a shit.

High pressing is great in theory but it has to be consistent for it to work and there must be a different way of playing when it doesn't.
The problem is it's so hard to achieve consistent pressing, particularly when you're 2-0 up and you get complacent. It's not something you really want to do if your a footballer, and so it's so hard to keep it up for a full 90.
We have to be able to adapt to the situation, it was very worrying today. Hopefully we will see improvement.

If memory serves then the same happened against Stoke last season, we were screaming for Yedlin to get chucked on and scare their left back.
Exactly like today.
I don't know of any other coach who would play an inverted forward on the counter who has no pace and no acceleration, it's pretty dim.

I wasn't in favour of Poch. FDB seemed to me far more suited to our style (not forgetting the ex Ajax players we have) . Poch's system relies heavily upon that key CM. It was obvious last year .. He needs heavy backing in the window for that individual or its pointless playing his system.

Poch was just outsmarted by Mark Hughes today. Simple as that.
They made changes, shifted formation and we didn't react at all. Their goals were coming - I'm sure most of us could see it, and that Ireland was the main problem, but instead we just decided to roll the dice and see it out.
Completely agree about the lack of leadership. But that doesn't only have to come from the players on the pitch. Poch and his coaching staff can show leadership and provide that experience from the touch line too. But they don't. We just look completely rudderless at the moment.

I try not to be knee jerk but Lamela... give up your 11 shirt and get the fuck out of my club. I believed in you, thought you could improve but no. FFS, every time you come on it's like we're playing with less men. No leaders in the club. One striker and no reserves. Levy get your fucking wallet out and get who Poch wants. We will improve but by the end of the season, we'll look at these two dropped points and see them as the points that could've got top 4.

Wonder if we could tempt FDB still.

I don't think its a must win. Were playing away against a confident Leicester team, and it would take a big improvement to win up there. A draw would be an OK result.
This might be a difficult season for us. I think we have to hold our nerve a bit, support the players, and hope that poch can improve his game management skills. Its too early to be talking about must win games.

I don't think FDB would have been a great difference either. He is remarkably similar to AVB when you look at them.
I would love to see this team with a manager most noted for his motivational/man management capabilities - Poch and AVB have both cause or presided over massive divides in the squad. Hell, most people didn't like Sherwood but that was the one time the squad was happy with Ade since he signed permanently.

I'm not surprised personally... I predicted a bad start to the season and so far i'm being proved right.

The only good thing that could possibly come out of that shambles today is that our chairman now puts his fingers into that wallet and signs some players for us. Two games to late though.
