He has a point, but I fear this will just come across as another foreign manager or player moaning about the intensity of the premier league. It is the most watched in the world because of all these things, not in spite of them.

The need for a squad in the Prem, is ever more important nowadays.

I for one have no sympathy for the other big clubs, who have money, but complain of injured players and the quantity of matches, when they have an embarrassment of riches the others don't have.

We are now falling in the same boat.

We need to build out the squad with quality replacement, and i think Poch and the board will try to that.

I think Poch is caught a bit between a rock and a hard place, in as much as he clearly likes a smaller squad unit, as it's easier to engender a team spirit/ethos and there's less unrest due to a lack of playing time (one bad apple etc) but with the energy he demands from the players and the amount of game time some of them are getting (for club and country) he is going to have to compromise. He can still have a tight squad unit and weed out those having a moan up without running his first XI into the ground IMO...

We have a twenty five man squad, deal with it. Jose and Klopp would willingly swap places.

You really think Jose would swap places and work under Levy? I can see that conversation being quite short:
Jose: I want Zlatan, Pogba and Mkhitaryan.
Levy: Heeeee Heeeee Heeeee. No

Clubs in debt and cheque book style management is not good for football. It would be interesting if Jose could build a team with little money and lead them up from Division Two to the Premiership. I don't think so.

Poch raises relevant points. It's your best players that go on international duty and for clubs that lack quality in depth it is a problem trying to keep international players properly rested, injury free and fit,so that you have a level of consistancy for the season at club level. The fans want to see their strongest player every week, that's what we pay for and the Manager wants to field his strongest side. May be the FA should take these points onboard and consult Premiership Managers before major international competitions. The Premiership this year could have started two weeks later as an example.

I think Poch's comments are aimed at Levy. It's a warning that if you do not strengthen in the areas I have asked for we will fall behind the rest. He will then be on the market.

Some people get 1+1 to equate and come out with 7.
Why isn't it, a man is pressed and gives his opinion honestly and as he see's it. He knows nothing will change but he gives his opinion on the subject. It seems Pochetinho has such a relationship with the club he has no need for public veiled messages.

Swap places for CL footie..



Fucks sake.

Maybe you should say that instead of talking about what Poch should do to the squad and claim Jose would gladly swap. Then expect us to magically know you're talking about something completely different.

Fucks sake

Can't people even swear properly these days?

FOR fuck's sake!

Maybe you should learn to read what is written before jumping to a conclusion.

And when you say "us" you actually mean "you". Don't go around trying to blame others for your ineptitude.

Where the fuck have you mentioned specifically CL squad? You said 25 man squad which could be either league or europe. I read that as it was written.

By the way my use of "we" was in reference to myself and the other individual who rated your post with a red cross. Don't be such a self righteous prick
