It does feel a bit like the beginning of the end. A few more bad results, a row with Poch, and our capricious chairman is quite capable of sacking him. Or he might walk. But who knows? It might all be sunny again in a month.

Kane needs to be dropped for a few weeks and sent away. I dont care if he bitches. He is beyond fucked. We are culpible as he is in ruining himself. He needs an elongated break. But yet we have to rush him back for the season for no reason at all.

We bottle it constantly, yes. But there is never any investment in this team. The players see the lack of belief from the club so its boils down our mentality. We need to be sold to owners who will actually invest and ASAP.
We rush him back because we have no second striker for the 2nd season running. As you say just look at the net spends under Levy. It’s clear. I detest him.

Poch is the best thing to happen to this club in decades and Levy has hung him out to dry. Yes crap subs. But this is entirely Levy’s doing.

He got his £6m salary bonus so he doesn’t give a shit. He’s only interested in the money.

Personally I don't understand why anybody CAN'T blame Levy!

I think you are massively downplaying the psychological aspect of football. This season was lost before we kicked a ball.

We were all absolutely trashing Levy a month ago. Not suddenly we are losing game after game and its not his fault?? I am not having that.

Ahh yes, the squad that performed so well last season were suddenly not capable of doing so this season, great logic.

Sometimes, one should sub way earlier in the game. Other times, it is simply better to just not sub at all whatsoever. Pochettino never choses either of those at all.

Yep. The Watford game we were crying out for a sub before they scored and this game everything was looking good and he changes shape and personal to set us back. Just really infuriating decisions. Not to mention the massive tactical naivety in general against Liverpool.

Blaming Levy?

He can’t really be blamed for some of our players looking a third of what they were last season.

He can be blamed for not improving the squad, he can be blamed for the uncertainty surrounding the stadium that creates an unsettled atmosphere.

Maybe it's not all his fault, but he must share some of the responsibility as the head of the club.

It's not all his fault, but he's not blameless either.

How can anyone blame Levy? This is the exact same squad that beat and drew with Madrid, that beat Dortmund twice, drew with Juventus away from home etc. There is a distinct lack of pressing, lack of motivation and lack of concentration on the pitch. Is that Poch's fault? Is the blame with the players? Who knows? It's so lazy to blame the chairman but if I started performing at 70% in my job you would blame me first, then my manager.
Stand still and you go backwards. That is what has happened here.

Too many key players are either injured, or past it to be going into the season without strengthening.

Starting to think that Poch is beginning to lose the plot.
I liked the tubby, jumpered Poch. The one who looked like he was nursing a hangover, or building up to his next one. He won games. Made sensible choices. Said sensible things. This new one is unhappy and at odds with what we’re used to
