The Mauricio Pochettino thread

[Vulcan10]

With harry at only 50% we were doomed from the off .Harry should not have started in fact he was not fully fit

I do wonder what is going on here. Technically he must be fit & it was said the physios declared him fit for Chelsea weeks ago. If he wasn't fit wouldn't he be making the injury worse by playing on it? Not sure he would risk that in a world cup year.
To be fair the service has been non existant, that said he had a couple of chances to turn & shoot in the first half and laid it off and in those instances he didn't look fully fit. Would he have benefited from taking longer to recover or is his ankle ok & it's a confidence issue?
A fully fit Harry would have ran through brick walls to drag us through that game today so something seems off.
Perhaps someone with a better understanding of ankles than me can offer some insight.

Listen, if Poch wants to go, f him.
I'll happily give him all the abuse in the world, for giving us all so much hope/promise, failing and then ditching us as soon as the opportunity arose. Seriously, what a waste of time he would've been if he goes, he's done nothing since being here. So, if he really wants to go, fuck you Poch

There are posts when the WTF rating does'nt go far enough, yours was one of them.

Fuck me there are some right kneejerk muppets on this forum.

I was expecting a meltdown tonight, but some of the posts on here are just fucking embarassing.

SC has hit the wall.

This is just the start of it. From now on it's only going to go one way until we change manager.

Or until we win a trophy...?

...nah, you're right, we're more likely to change manager a squillion more times before that happens...

rubbish...other than Ranieri...who has won trophies on this budget....name one

Alex Mcleish with Birmingham City

At least it shows just how far we've come under Poch, when a narrow 2-1 Semi final defeat against a team 2nd in the Prem tips people over the edge.

Before Poch, we would have written this game off and just enjoyed a day out at Wembley.

If Poch leaves us for Chelsea I think that will be the end of it for me

.......you really just got to love this place. It's so therapeutic and I can imagine is a massive confidence boost for some coming on SC.

It really just confirms that there are real nutters out there, so those of you that have been told by your shrink that you're nuts, tell your shrink to f**k off as they clearly don't know their job or have not been on here yet....actually I think anyone who has just qualified as a shrink should spend some time on here, particularly when we lose a game or during the transfer window.

I thought we tried results based football under AVB ...

I do long for the days of Jundae Ramos ....

The best thing about this site on nights like tonight us that it reassured me that I’m not the biggest fucking moron on the planet.

The worst thing, why that would be you lot.

So you think that Levy's gonna sack a manager who has achieved CL in 2/4 seasons in charge, one of which playing every home game at Wembley, when all the managers he's appointed in 15 odd years of ownership have achieved it a grand total of once?

Don't think so mate, Levy aint daft.

Actually I think his job will be in jeopardy but not literally a sacking in the summer. I think it'll be more like, if he don't get us top 4 next season he'll be out. And rightly so.

Really can't imagine that happening, in fact I'd go as far as saying that Poch will not manage another London club

Of all our recent managers, Poch is the only one who seems to understand local rivalries.

Disagree, I think settling into the new stadium will gain him a lot of leeway in terms of where we Finnish next season, short of a relegation dog fight he'll be as safe as they come.l

Yeah you're right, Poch is taking the right piss, not beating teams in the league with far greater resources than us.

The truth is Harry has been shite since he came back from injury... And imo I think he's rushed back to try and get the golden boot. And this is a point that I see weaknesses in Poch, as a sensible manager would have seen he wasn't fit yet and not played him but he came right back into the team whereas someone like Toby was sat out and we were given BS excuses.
Clearly Poch has his favs too, but by allowing Kane to play is a detriment to the team and our goals. Very poor of Poch if you ask me and he should have rested Kane till the FA Cup SF if anything to allow him to recuperate. Now he's played him 3 times in a week and he's been piss poor and possibly not helped his fitness. He really needed to be rested far more and Poch should have seen and known that.

How can he say stuff like this?! Eriksen will be 30 In 4 years do you expect him to stay if it will take 4 years?!
Maybe I’m overreacting now but quotes like this can score of our players or players we want to buy

 

[EastLondonYid]

Poch and loyalty puts a lot of you lot to shame...
I pray he never reads SC... Fuck me there are some right pricks on here some of whom are just WUM... I hope.

I would read it he won’t stay around that long (Daniel Levy take note!). He WANTS his kind of backing now! I again say he will get good backing.

He's not stupid though, he knows today was a big game, he knows it was a great chance to win something and he knows that the longer we don't the harder it will be to keep some of our current players but he has to try and play down the situation as much as he can to the media. It may take another 4 years to truly elevate ourselves to another level but he fully knows we have a talented enough team to win something as of now, maybe with a few shortcomings, but certainly capable. He just wants to take as much pressure off the team as he can.

He's almost a victim of his own success at the moment.
