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.
You can't just chuck it all at Levy. Yes the bald fuck has no desire for us to win things. Yes he has screwed Poch over, but he isn't the one making choices at pitch level. We have shown we can play bloody well without Kane, but Poch has never gone down that route since - even if Kane hasn't looked great. Poch is making poor decisions that ARE costing us. His decisions are having a detrimental effect on the team. I don't expect Poch to be around long and wouldn't be surprised if he is gone before the end of the season.

Levy & ENIC for their part just need to get the stadium built and sell up. They have reached all their goals, time for them to fuck off.

That kicked in the balls feeling I had on deadline day is back again
I don't want to be too downer but I think I'm mostly disappointed because this is the season. Not the season I thought we would necessarily do something, but the season that we needed to do something before it all started to crumble - Poch getting tired of promises being broken, key players making noises about leaving, fans losing hope etc. All of the excitement and promise that we've been sold over the past five years is fizzling out because the level of ambition on the pitch hasn't matched the efforts made off it. We should've pushed on by now, we just should have.

I really hope we can turn this around and make me look silly.

A couple of seasons ago, we were winning matches during the dying minutes, often coming from behind. Now we are losing matches in the dying minutes after leading. The mental strength, the buoyant mood, seem to have gone. No brainer that we need a couple of new players in January to refresh the squad.

Fuck sake. Did I just dream that?
Yet ANOTHER fucking header. What the hell is happening to us?
I was completely deflated when they even got the equaliser!!!!
Now just feel sick.
Can’t remember feeling so low after watching this team. Much, much worse than Saturday.
This is a truly horrible feeling. It’s like the team/manager we love is slowly falling apart in front of our eyes.
Make no mistake that Inter team aren’t a great team.
You cannot lose a game like that after winning with 5 mins to go.
This team looks shot to pieces.
The whole mood of the club is in a very bad way. We are in serious trouble and not sure how we’re going to get out of it.

I am starting to think this is where it is going to break down.

Would be very Spursy to get 75% of the “project” done only for it to collapse!

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.

Quite. We knew other teams would improve and make signings. Standing still was only ever going to impact morale negatively. Our squad confidence was clearly hanging by a thread.

He shouldn't have seen half the minutes he got today. Liability at times. Winks for Dier made so much more sense than Winks for Lamela.
What is it with the Dier love-in? He shouldn’t even started after his shit-shower against Liverpool.

Alarm bells should be ringing after this performance. The way we gifted them the win is just sickening. What the bleep is going on here??

Our press was shit with him on as well. Plus he look shattered before he came off.
He's only just come back into the team. I was referring to before he had his hip operations. He never lets his head drop.
Your last sentence explains why Poch took him off.

Note very well: our press disappeared while Lamela was away. He sets the tempo of the press.

If Kane thinks he fit and sharp maybe he could fucking press a little
He#s running in treacle wearing lead boots

Thing is Son looked useless tonight but at least he'd be mobile in front of Moura, Lamela and Eriksen

Pochettino has been nothing short of a disgrace this season. Tactics, personality, results, everything.

Bash me all you like for saying it because you don’t like hearing it but we’ve seen his absolute ceiling as a manager and we won’t achieve any more than what we have under him.

100% agree - unfortunately.

This summer was the beginning of the end.

I had hoped that after the FA semi-final, when he talked about the club needing to be "brave", that he meant it and was determined to win things here.

But it seems that once he got his new contract, he started reading from the Daniel Levy and Donna Cullen script.

It was nice when it lasted.

As supposedly-momentous season's go, this one's really not started off all that well. I find the Lloris drink driving incident the hardest to swallow. I'm really worried it speaks to a wider attitude problem within the squad. Too many getting too big for their boots after the World Cup???

All of the best teams use 3 in midfield. It's just that our players are nowhere near as good as theirs are. We don't have a creative number 8 and rely on an aging Dembele to play the ball carrying role. We needed investment and didn't get it and really, I think this might be the end of us being near the top. We're going to lose so many players over the next couple of seasons, and why would poch stick around as well? No investment or ambition from the higher-ups so when you can earn more at other clubs, why wouldn't you? Toby, Eriksen, Jan, Lamela, Dembele, Rose at the very least. What's the point of being positive when the club isn't run in a positive manner?

It was not as if Inter was rocking us back badly that we had to take an AM out for another body in midfield.. they were actually running out of ideas so it is so baffling why Poch sees the need to put Winks in an AM's place.. if anything, it should have been for Dier or Dembele.. so frustrating..
