Whoever starts got to win this game. 14th is not where we belong. There are loads of teams who are playing worse than us & still above us in table. Painful to look at the table

Get beat and the club, and probably the manager, are bang in trouble. Whatever way people want to dress it up, being three points above 18th would have alarm bells ringing and talk of long term projects etc will go out the window.

Would be his own fault if he continues to persist with Adebayor.

...this is what happens when our chairman sacks good managers and replaces them with crap. He has enough fans on his side though so nothing much is going to change.

I know. Why would anyone in their right mind hire Tim Sherwood as manager? Not even West Brom and Palace were dumb enough to do that.

If we don't win today poch is going to be under serious pressure.

I would like to see a comfortable win but I'm expecting a scrappy 1-0 or 0-0 and they will score in the last 10 minutes

Poch and Spurs are going to do a Pardew and Newcastle starting with Villa. Next few games and we will be up there with the rest. I have to be positive, some one has to!!

If we lose poch is in the shit. The problem is that put simply we haven't got good enough players. Previously you could argue that managers weren't getting the players playing, but now the players just aren't good enough. We have a strong squad but we are a top striker, a creative mid and a centre back short.

Without those additions we could get forgive out of retirement and it would make very little difference.

I'm also a bit concerned about our ability to play the way poch wants. We don't seem to be pressing very well and look very shaky at the back. The only real area of improvement has been our counter attacking play but without a decent striker it isn't improving results.

Very worried about the game tomorrow.

We should be winning against villa not if and buts are players are definitely good enough it's seems like this AVB style of football doesn't suit them well

If Poch plays Ade again then he can do one as far as I'm concerned. It will prove he knows naff all about football. I can't say I'm that impressed with him anyway. Southampton played the way they do before Poch came, and they are still playing it after he has gone. Yet he can't get our lot to implement the pressing game. o_O What does that tell you?? A: either our players are totally brain farts. B: Poch is a fraud. If it's A then he needs to get his arse off the bench and shout the crap out of them from the touch line until they get it. If it's B then I guess we will find out pretty soon.

If our chairman sacks good managers, isn't he the one who's crap?
A very contradictory comment imo. But exactly what Levy wants fans to believe, that it's always the managers fault.
