This is the same guy who couldn't get PSG to win the league in his first season.. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Time will tell.
Poch got schooled today and only decided to make changes at 4-2. Great stuff

He got it wrong today. It happens.

Time to move on, and not dwell on this performance.

He definitely got it wrong today, but he can not solely be blamed for that performance. Too many poor decisions to list. Just a bad day at the office all around. Oh well, onto the next one.

Can't defend the bloke(Poch) really - Starting a game of this importance by dropping his most experienced CB in favour of a talented totally inexperienced CB - Suicidal imo - But at 2-1 he also showed his managerial flaws once more and did not know what to do, instead sat waiting, for what exactly i don't know - he must have realised what was about to come, everyone else seemed to be aware of it.

he'll be asked in the press conference obviously. Think he'll give a rather petulant response

he really needs to improve on his tactics and subs when games are going away from us, for example juventus at home last season, watford away this season and now today

Didn’t expect that kind of performance and result at all. But have to say, Poch got it spot on with the diamond vs Chelsea’s 4-3-3, he got it completely wrong with the diamond against Arsenal’s back 3 and was too stubborn to change it. We weren’t up for it enough but tacitcs played a big part as our shape against theirs meant midfield and fullbacks had no options. Poch also got it wrong starting Foyth over Toby in such a huge intense game. Shame but we go again. Bit worrying if this is it what Dick Emery can do with a shit arsenal team, imagine what he can do with a good team :( COYS

I get the need to use the squad and give players a rest/and others some match time. But you have Arsenal away and then Southampton at home and you want to give your most experienced CB a rest - fuck me is it even debatable which of those two games you give Toby a rest in, assuming the guy even needs a rest to begin with?

once again he takes no responsibility in his interview and chooses to justify his decision to play foyth over toby, i really hope this is not how he feels deep down or we will experience this same feeling again
