Here he talks about bravery and winning mentality again, all the time really. Not really helping to much is it? Or the players just doesn't have it in them.

Not helping? Oh for the love of God - we have secured CL again and are within 2 goals of the CL FINAL. And you are talking about him not being able to instill a winning mentality into his players.

I don't care that we have crawled accross the finishing line. The Brighton game and that late Eriksen goal was the epitome of a winning mentality. Not much he can do about being down to bare bones and getting 2 red cards against Bournemouth.

Some people will never be satisfied.

Think we need whatever jumpin juice Lolerpool were on last night. They all looked like they were suffering severe roid rage.

If you're satisfied this season, based on our level of play, you need a reality check.

But maybe I need to eat my words after tonight.

It's less about being satisfied and more about being grateful for what we managed to achieve all things considered

All we have achieved is being marginally less shit than the other so-called big clubs Arsenal and United.
We're miles off the top and, since late February, have been on a shocking run of form.
3 home games in the league and a CL home win aside, our results have been worrying. A previously unassailable gap between us and 3rd has been overturned and we've been overtaken by Chelsea, who were in such bad form they were probably ready to sack their manager. We've nearly lost 4th to Arsenal who have the away form of relegation fodder but took 4 points from us this season.

We have finished where we are because them and United have been so far below their own standards we floated to the top.

We are not miles from the top, literally a game away from being top 2 team in Europe. Plenty of richer and luckier teams with injuries failed to do it.

Seem to remember every year for the last four people rabbiting on about how we are lucky because everyone else is in transition etc etc. We need to recognise where we have come the last few years and celebrate that

Fully agree we thoughts that we need to advance further from here but that should not negate real progress as a club

How can I not be? I remember 5th place as the epitome of success. We achieved the main goal which was CL qualification for a 4th straight year. We have finally moved to the new stadium and have a real shout at both 3rd place in the PL, and the CL title with that last bit being an unexpected bonus.
And as "terrible" as we have been of late, we still have a GD of +28.

If ours was bad, then heavens help those behind us...

On second thought, scratch that.

I agreee with Poch. Our squad isnt that good actually, we've got invisible Eriksen, Circus act Ali, CantCross Trippier. We are Top 4 and on the verge of CL final because of Poch, he made these mediocre players look good by moulding their fragile and cowardly mentality.

Poch isnt the problem here, the gutless backpassing loving outfield players are.

Every year up to about 5 years ago the race for the top 4 was much harder. The teams in it and aiming for it were more consistent. We've lost 1/3 of our games this season. It's been shocking from 3rd to 6th this season.
