Would of never said this last year, but I really hope Bayern coming in for Poch. Would be great for all parties because he could leave on relatively good terms leaving behind a legacy and we wouldn’t get burned with a pay out. We could finally move on and get a serial winner in charge like Allegri or Mourinho. The Poch era has gone completely stale, it’s time to move him on and freshen things up.
Poch took us from perennial Europa team to CL regulars, we have to respect that, but now he’s reached his limit, he can’t take us any further forward. We’re told he gets final say on all incoming transfers, but ultimately rarely signs off an any, meaning our list of transfer targets becomes so limited, we end up struggling.
He seems to have serious trust issues. Lo Celso (even allowing for injury) and Ndombele have not had as many minutes as you’d expect, yet Eriksen continues to get big minutes. Aurier continues to be a ticking bomb, yet Walker-Peters struggles for minutes. Whilst KWP hasn’t set the world on fire this year, in his debut he got MOM, and if memory serves me right he did again later on that season at Leicester (or Hull??). So if he’s now not cutting it, has Poch mismanaged his development based on that early promise. Onomah fell by the wayside. He started ok, but failed to kick on and had a couple of awful loans, but again, was his development mismanaged, were his loans a good match for his skills and the style of play we wanted for him.
The continuation and succession planning for squad has been well and truly botched to get to a point where we could well lose Toby, Jan, Rose and Eriksen, and we have no obvious replacements in place to make the transition seamless. Wanyama seems spent, but we still give him minutes rather than letting Skipp take that chance to develop. Dier has fallen off the radar. Foyth was billed as RB but even after recovering from injury he isn’t getting minutes. Is Parrott going to go the same way as TOB?
On the pitch now, Poch seems unclear on what’s his best system, and changes with such regularity that very little fluidity and understanding is achieved. He moved away from the 4231 and 3421 which worked well for him, and initially persisted with the diamond which just wasn’t working, but now seems to change on a game by game basis. His selections also are head scratching. Worse still is his awful in game decisions (or lack thereof). He seems incapable of making substitutions it’s too late or it’s just plain forced on him. How are players getting up to speed when they sit on the bench for 80+ minutes. His tactical naivety and inability to use the bench is hurting us. He’s a motivator, not a tactician, and worryingly seems unable to motivate this squad.
Allegri and Mourinho are available, such an opportunity that two proven winners are available and currently looking for their next challenge, but this window of opportunity will only be open for so long. We should be making that move now, so whoever comes in has time to assess what they have and make plans for January transfers in and out. The longer we leave Poch in place, the longer this run of awful form continues because we are just not seeing any hints of positivity and change. By which time, we’ll be further and further off the pace for CL, and the managerial candidates pool will be spent.
Probably because they’re getting behind the team when they need our help, booing the manager at games is not going to help is itHave seen a few comments saying that match going fans are still behind Poch and don't want a change. Are there any of them on here? Would genuinely like to know their reasons, I'm not fishing etc I just want to try and understand their point of view
You should stay off the Ouzo young man.Did I really? haha I can't remember that. Did you actually ask to be banned?
Go all out for Simeone? Thoughts?
Remember when people didn't want Jose because he plays shit football?
The irony
Pull. The. Trigger. It is absolutely fucking absurd we haven’t yet. We have been in relegation form in the league in 2019 and we are dawdling in the lower mid table at the moment with no signs of climbing back up. Thanks for all he’s done to build this club up but either sacked tonight or sacked in the morning. Time for a fresh perspective and a new voice.
that's why I don't want him, especially as it means in 3 years time we will be starting to look for another manager
Three years is pretty long for a manager these days. If we can get someone in for three years who gets us back in the Top 4 and wins a couple of trophies, I'm more than content.that's why I don't want him, especially as it means in 3 years time we will be starting to look for another manager
