Not sure what any new manager would do with this group of players. Too many of them simply aren't playing & it's painful to watch.

Are some the players sabotaging this to get back at Poch or Levy? The stuff from Antonio about Levy screwing them on wages...

All our problems start from the Defence and GK. Because of the inconsistency and errors over the last god knows how many games, we’ve struggled to keep any solidity at the back. Then we have the issue that there isn’t a CDM who is on form, or up to standard to break up play and shield the back and that is really hurting any build up play. I think we’re gonna need a new keeper come January.

Any of the poch in brigade watching that and starting to change your mind?
No but I am getting very concerned to say the least. This is looking like more than a blip and it will take a lot to get out of this rut.
As I said further up some players look like they are hiding from the ball and going through the motions.

Even if we do get a reaction, it will only paper over the cracks. I'm not a big Robbie Mustoe fan, but his halftime comments on NBCSN were spot on. This reminds me of the 90s
How did we become so bad.

It’s up to the players this second half. They either want the manager to stay or they don’t.

They have to show what they want

Dont think it matters the formation, the players picked or instructions given. Poch is done and has lost the dressing room, doesnt matter who's picked or how we set up, we are awful and the players aren't playing for him.

We have to act immediately and use the international break to get a new manager in.

The majority of these players are at fault. They dont give a shit as they do not want to play for this club anymore. And havent wanted to for a while. Levy is at fault for not fucking them off. Tired of it all. ENIC has to go. We need a full on reboot. New ownership, management and squad(come the summer)

It's over. I just hope levy doesn't allow this to continue for much longer because this will be our season over by Christmas if Poch stays much longer. Anyone who says he's not lost the dressing room is in denial. The proof is there for all to see. The players just don't give a shit. They're going through the motions. He need to go ASAP. Bring in someone temporarily to steady the ship this season and build up moral in the squad and find the right man to come in at the end of the season.

I don't want to watch us anymore whilst Poch is in charge. Life is too short to be put through this when it's clear as day to everyone there's something not right.

With all I've said, in the end this just feels heartbreaking. So sad to see a squad of some really fantastic footballers being outclassed by a team with players that, save for a couple, likely wouldn't make our bench. Unbelievable lack of personal pride.

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.
I said a while back, when signs of rot were setting in, that Pochettino needs to go back to the ruthlessness he showed in his first season. If they arent concentrating, they're out.
