If Poch was working with a shit squad then I'd be all for giving him time to turn things around.

But it's not a shit squad,far from it, it's a squad that is poorly coached and criminally mismanaged by Poch.

Poch strategy during the game and his attempt on changing the game is to swap Eriksen with Lo Celso almost on stoppage time..

If this is Poch trying to give Lo Celso minutes in games to build up his fitness I think 1 minute per match is unlikely to do it.

He has lost the plot or he is doing it on purpose. Again the fact that Eriksen played virtually the whole match says it all. He and Dele were so ineffective that we were almost playing with 9 men.

He should have gone after Brighton and then after Watford and should go after this. But he won’t and it will be too late when he finally does.

To play the way we did midweek and then revert to this is an inexcusable decision. Couple that with the atrocious game management when it was so obvious we were being absolutely destroyed makes me believe he is doing it on purpose and that is fucking tragic.

Sorry but we won 5-0 I’m midweek and played with urgency and passion (admittedly against poor opposition)

Then we change it and bring back the same old poor players that don’t want to be here ???

The most irritating thing is Liverpool can be got at...if we'd played the whole 90 mins as we did when we went 2-1 down we could've easily got something.
So fucking annoying.
No wonder our record up there is so shit, we've finally got players who can do some damage but the approach is so negative.
Just like the CL final

His team selections defy belief, its almost as if he is trying to get sacked, the constant playing of under performing players who don't want to be there baffles me, and not playing new signings ffs

I would have had no issue with us losing today, had he started a similar side as midweek. Demonstrated a commitment to a new way of playing. A rigid mentality toward marginalizing the same asshats who have proven to be ongoing liabilities. I don’t mind him experimenting with youth. But starting a team like this, and then being unable to amend tactics mid game, shows me that he has learnt nothing. Will learn nothing. It was a Russian roulette line up and we got what we deserved. Time for him to go.

Partly true but also compare Aurier and rose defending and passing and crossing to Robertson and TAA and you can see we are miles off them and city in Man City full backs. Winks and sissoko compared to Henderson and Fabinho or De bruyne and silva or even say tilemans or mount and kovacic?
Poch and players not good enough.
