Despite now thinking it really is time for a change, I don’t think Poch is going to be going anywhere unless we drop into the relegation places...... and despite being shit, we’re not that shit *



*cue optimistic ratings.
Actually after this coming weekend fixtures, if Wolves, Burnley and Brighton won their games, we will be at 14th before we even play Everton. The pressure will be there. Is really do or die.

This argument doesn't make sense because HE continues to select the players that are the bad eggs, and they continue to play like they don't give a shit.

Poch is to blame because he selects the team.
If anyone in the Spurs team yesterday had genuinely played like they didn't give a shit, we'd have been hammered. That's what happens at Anfield, as I know from bitter experience. Some players didn't play well, but they still put in a shift for the team.

Even if he has another 2 windows, I can’t see how he will get us anywhere near challenging again. We are so far off top 2/3 teams. The team is now used to losing under him - that can only be changed by a new manager coming in. As long as he stays, we aren’t going to get close to winning things.

He wouldn't have had too play them if Levy had got rid of them. He is stuck with at least FIVE he wants out.

Its not one or two that you can just ditch, or do you want Poch to stop rotating and then the injuries start piling up.

Lamela and Sess were unavailble and GLC has just returned.

If you read all my posts, i don't not blame Poch , i'm not blindly backing him, he is making bad errors/

I just think we should back him and if he fails then we will have no regrets.

Mate look at our results and performances since Burnley away last year.

This isn't a blip, it's a gradual regression.

No matter the issues of the squad, it's still rammed with quality, and we've morphed into a midtable team at best.

The buck stops with the manager. He's not been getting the best out of this squad for 8 months now.

Exactly. He’s just deluded.

The elephant in the room that he won’t admit is we look like a poorly coached side. We don’t even look as organised as a team like Sheffield United ffs who are full of plodders.

It’s been longer than 8 months by the way, but you’re right, Poch isn’t even getting 50% out of this squad. We are a shambles. He can’t even pick the best side to give us the best chance of success. His selections actually hinder us.

Fucking hell people were saying that before the Brighton game. People keep moving the goalposts its laughable.

I keep seeing posts like if he starts Eriksen again that’s it! He needs to go. Ffs we were saying that months ago. When do you draw the line? People just keep giving him more time when are just getting worse and worse.

we were a Cats whisker away from losing to Watford at home. it should by rights read 3 losses out of 3.

Sorry to say it’s got to the point than I want to see us thrashed on Sunday against Everton so Poch is sacked and we can all move on
. A bit of short term pain. We might see us get a spawny win Which just prolongs the suffering and will do us no good whatsoever.

What an embarrassment you are.

What an embarrassment you are.

The more draws or small losses we get, then more time he will get.

If we get hammered again like Bayern, it goes against much more than Poch. It goes against our club and our reputation, and if anything you can bet Levy will act on that!

So I understand why people will want to loose again Sunday, because anyone with a brain can see what's going on.

We currently have the third best squad in the league and we are below Sheffield United in the league and deservedly so. How the manager cannot be to blame is beyond me.

Not as embarrassing as the results and performances under Poch have been for over a year.

Nor as embarrassing as saying he might quit the club if we won the CL and making the biggest game in recent history all about himself.

Any 'fan' and i say that loosely. who wants their own team to be thrashed. is an embarrassment ....end of....jog on.

He's not deluded mate. He's just loyal to Poch, who let's not forget has elevated us massively as a Club, and I'll always respect that.

However, I can see that he's not going to learn from his mistakes and adapt which is a crying shame. He's clearly very, very stubborn or doesn't want to be here for the long term himself.

I've seen enough to know this isn't going to change and we're in a downward spiral.

This group of players need a new voice, new ideas, someone who can lift them and perhaps a more experienced tactician for in game management.

You know when something is lost and that's what it feels like.

I for one am very happy with the trajectory the club has travelled ever since ENIC took over. State of the art facilities and CL qualification whilst attaining this infastructure.

Signing potential world class talents, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessengnon.

I am aghast and despairing of the so called supporter of today EXPECTING us to challenge for the title or to win every game, every season until eternity.

We are having a bit of a meh season so 90% of these so called fans want to throw everyone and everything under the bus.

Levy has his faults, Poch has his faults and some of the players are putting their lives, familys and careers before the club.

The slating of Eriksen is abhorent.

I suppose it is a snapshot of society these days, and I think it's pathetic.
Problem is real, man. You can’t just pretend it isn’t.
What gets me most about it is that it’s like the tv running repeats of a, very poor, comedy show every week. You even know where the jokes are gonna come and there’s no laughter coming. Just despair. Not enough new lines coming in. The same old terrible stuff, like everyone in the world can see it’s bad but no-one in the production team has the guts to spill the Alli beans. We are playing with 8/9 players most matches. It’s hilarious, but I don’t find it funny any more and I don’t buy any of the excuses. And we knew we were paying for the bloody stadium and the board thought they would keep filling it in the cheap and they thought they couldn’t be dropped out of the C/L because we got to the final last year so we’re still good enough.
We are a comedy but it isn’t funny, it isn’t excusable and if we could all see it coming then who was it who couldn’t?
We have every right to be angry with the club, whoever we choose to blame (I’m not getting into that here but it’s more than just the one person), because life is hard and sport is and always has been, one of humanities few pleasures and outlets. A lot of money is paid by this club’s supporters and we have every right to expect good quality, exciting entertainment. Fucking stupid. Embarrassing. Sport is for the masses. Football is our hope, our joy, our sadness. We expect. To Dare Is To Do. We expect to see THAT on the pitch. and whoever is behind the fact that we aren’t seeing that should be ashamed and should be gone.
(yeah well I’m pissed off now)

Don't know about blaming Levy, when Eriksen was playing well and we wanted to keep him, offering him contracts, Levy was well within his rights to ask for top money for a top player.
It's a business in the end and you can't sell your assets for less than you deem them worth.
And every position we drop in the table is costing us. That is the business.

No need to call people’s loyalty to the club into question (by insinuation) because they don’t agree with you about the way we progress. We all want the club to succeed even if we disagree about how that’s best achieved.
