God help me, it's curry for tea tonight!
We are an absolute shadow of the side we have been in previous seasons under Poch. I just don't see where we go from here, because without serious investment it looks like we've hit our ceiling and it seems Poch knows it too.
I don't know what it is, but he seems like he's feeling the pressure and is A LOT more antagonistic this season than he has ever been.
This team still has potential when it clicks to be a good side and it's clear we are in a very poor run of form performance wise. The problem is central midfield, we failed to address it in the summer. We should have proactively improved this key area in the summer and we are now seeing the result of that inaction. We have a very soft centre. Our CM is very weak on the ball collectively and we are very weak off the ball collectively. End result is we will struggle to be competitive in the big games this season and we will struggle to get in the CL places. Imagine Winks and Sissoko versus Chelsea or City's CM.
