Here's the problem, it's going to be the Mourinho at Man United situation. Those players, by the end, mostly hated playing for him. If Poch is sacked/leaves, it's going to be the same situation here. It may be better for a few weeks/months, but it's all just a facade. We won't be bringing in anyone of note most likely for the rest of the season.
I firmly believe if this result holds, Pochettino is gone. My issue is that I am not fully convinced this is him. It's a squad that, as we all know, lacked investment until this past summer. We've got injuries to those recruits, players who, despite their social media posts (Toby), it's obvious they don't want to be here.
I said it in the Pochettino thread, but maybe the best move is to ostracize those guys, bring in Foyth, Sanchez, etc. before we sack the man who took us to new heights. It may not pay off immediately, but I'd want to be damned sure this isn't a player issue before we sack our best manager in recent memory.
