Watching him play about 30 times



So we agree then.
There's a huge difference between championship football and EPL football.
When he's played 30 EPL games (and that's still not enough he needs a couple of season's ) then maybe a comparison can be made.
Yes we agree on the squad comment.
I wanted him to be part of this season's squad but you can't argue with a manager who's got us playing incredibly well and challenging at the top in February.

Of course yo can argue with a manager who has us playing well. I don't agree with everything any manager does, even the Mourinho's and Guardiola's, do you ?

Yeah, so far I trust Pochettino more than any manager we've had in my lifetime but that doesn't mean i'm going to agree with him on everything.

No I don't but they see more of the player's than I do.
Plus they get paid millions to make those decisions and there's a huge reason for that.

They usually get sacked within three years, there's a reason for that too.

Correct and then get another job and repeat.
They must be doing something right and right now Poch is doing it right.
So I trust his judgment and sending Pritchard on loan looks like he rates Chadli Son and Lamela a bit more right now.

Played 2nd half today vs Newcastle; anyone got a chance to watch him?
From the highlight he's their FK kicker already.
Looked good, had a couple good runs and didn't look out of place. Think he would thrive playing behind the striker and taking the knock downs from the Fwds. I was apprehensive about this loan but i think he'll do well there and help WBA win some points.

Good to know; was surprised he got on the field already. Will record the next WBA game.

At least the WBA fans don't like their footballing style under Pulis either! Telling comment was "Pritchard played more attacking football in 15 mins than we have all season". Must be painful watching that week in week out. Still, Pulis will keep. Them up which is something.

My comment about managers getting sacked was partly disingenuously tongue in cheek, but to say one can't question managers judgement on anything is ridiculous.

Did you agree with Pochettino playing Kane at Colchester ? Do you agree with even 60% of his in game subs ? Do you think he was right to demand Southampton sign Osvaldo ?

Just watched the WB game - solid start for him. Don't think I'll get over this loan; gotta stop thinking about it. Bugs me too much.

While I'd love for him to be here and get games, I just think we'd struggle to find games to give him. He might be getting end of match minutes and we wouldn't risk him starting PL matches atm, so in this aspect I think regular PL matches is better, coming form someone who's wanted him in our first team for last 2/3 years. It's frustrating but I guess I can wait 6 more months.

I just tried to search for the full match but couldn't find it, could you send me the link please

I already answered on the previous reply
Here it is again if you missed but I doubt it you replied to it.
