Pathetic team selection.
Pathetic subs.
Just pathetic.
We'll never win a trophy with Poch in charge. Said that 3 years ago and nothing has changed my mind. He can go as far as I'm concerned. He's lost the plot.

Starting eriksen of ndombele a sacking in itself. This manager never learns - trusting the likes of eriksen, rose, aurier in this type of game! Get him out now.

That game today should tell any Poch "in" people how bad he actually is.
We take a 1-0 lead into the second half after getting battered, we start the second half the exact same way barring the Son chance.
What does Poch do to try and shore things up, fuck all! Alli and Eriksen were absoutle dog shit but were left on the pitch until 87th min.
Poch hasnt got a clue how to ingame manage, today we might aswell have just given them the three points before the game started.

I'm seriously beginning to believe that LO Celso wasnt a Poch buy. Never gets more than 10 minutes a game, I know hes just come back from injury but it was the same prior to getting injured.

Poch needs to go for me, shocking!!!

Rant over

Credit to him for getting the tactics right but all of that is completely undone when you choose the wrong players to perform them. His biggest strength was his courage to play those who earned it, regardless of reputation. Now it seems like some players are guaranteed to start while those who clearly deserve it are left out. Everything that once made him great has gone.

His team selections are baffling in big games.

Picks Eriksen, who runs a lot and who is afraid of his own shadow. Picks Winks who just passes sideways and runs a lot. Picks Rose who has no composure but loves a good hard tackle.

Leaves out our best player from Tuesday night, a full 5 days ago, in Ndombele who he waits until 65 minutes have been played and we've been absolutely battered and had about 15% of the ball because we had nobody to carry the ball.

Plays narrow to allow Liverpool's full backs the freedom of Anfield.

Baffling. Absolutely baffling

Is almost like a conspiracy from the media saying how stupid we will be to sack Poch. Because we could just be better with a new manager like Mourinho or Allegri.

Seriously, we can't be much worse. Is 50/50 after all. Even if we do, I will be more than happy to see the end of an illogical and naive manager out of the club.

I'm completely done with him now. Midweek I had a thread of hope he'd seen the light and maybe he could turn a corner. Turns out he'd learnt nothing and still decided to change it all around again.

yeah surprised we only lost by that much with the team selection we had.

I would have used identical to what we had during the week. Even if half the squad was a bit tired we could have just made subs earlier as needed (if poch is even able/aware he can do that)

and to say GLC isn’t fit enough is ridiculous. I’d select him over eriksen everyday of the week right now. Even if he isn’t up to par with the squad yet. He’d offer a lot more than what eriksen has. Which is next to nothing right now. Shoulda sold him when we had the chance.

feel sorry for the squad because there are players in there who really try and deserve to have better for them. The lack of effort from some players and poch’s stubbornness is letting them down. Soon they will want to leave soon.

My gripe summed up nicely. Tactics were good but got the selection completely wrong. Start Davies and KWP, Ndombele in midfield and Lo Celso for Eriksen and I honestly believe his tactics would've paid off.

Big question is whether Levy is done? If so will he do anything about?!

If he hasn't done an interview yet I predict:

So happy with the performance. Proud of the players to come and fight for three points. We had some chances and if we can score them we win the game. But no, so so happy with the performance.

So fed up with Pochettino right now. I would have easily been able to take a loss today but no Ndombele, Rose starting, Eriksen starting, not being proactive, not replacing Eriksen and Dele who were awful, leaving Eriksen can't defend out wide, Dele again playing the whole 90 minutes with a performance that could easily be replicated with a league two player etc.

It's one thing having hugely underperforming players out there on the pitch who are contributing to us not being able to hold the ball but another when you allow practically both of them to complete 90 minutes.

Just don't want to watch us when seeing these types of decisions being made week after week, it's infuriating.
