That is the story. the biggest issue is that he is a terrible fit for our two most expensive players Enzo and Caicedo neither player are suited to occupy space like Pochitino wants them to play. Poch is not going to win you anything, and he is not going to get the best out of the players you invested the most amount of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not going to win anything soon. So it's best to build a good team. Let's keep him and fix the defense and keep marching upward. lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The improvement is mostly Poch being forced to play players that are better fit and balance to the squad. So it is false illusion; an illusion caused by his own incompetence for most of the season. when next season everyone is healthy we go back to square one.

So we wait until everyone is settled and doing decent under Poch and then sack him in order to win something? Or do we give up on winning trophies and settle for being a decent team ?

TheHulk 2,479 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 (edited) Watching us in the last few games, confirms my theory this lot are good enough for a Top 4-6 finish but unfortunately are getting wasted by playing under a complete loser like Poch. Sack him as soon as the season finish no matter what. Edited May 5, 2024 by TheHulk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season we was down and that's what we saw first part. Now there's upward momentum building. The players are improving and working in chemistry. That takes time.

No it is because the players Poch preferred are injured, and players like Cucu, Noni, Chalobah who have been superb in the last couple of games were not prioritized throughout the season. It is quite evident that we struggled this season is mostly due to Poch incompetence and preference for players that was detrimental to our season.

Player go in and out of form during a long season all the time. Projecting the current form to a different time, or simply assuming this will be the norm next season would be a mistake. Perhaps some of the injured players would be performing well too? bet Carney would be able to do a lot more than Mudryk, for ex. We shouldn't take away the current form from Poch; player selection is only one aspect of it. Noni in particular has been doing the teamwork tasks really well of late. There was a prior game where he switched off and we ended conceding, but he's evidently listening to the manager. If when we lose it's the manager, and when we win it's down to the players, then no manager can ever win with us. bluesman2610 and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sanchez didn't get injured Petrovic would still be on the bench. Guy is a complete flush no matter what happens. Can't wait to see him sacked. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think Sanchez or Petrovic are that different, or that it would matter a whole lot which played in a 5 nil win? 🙂 Edited May 5, 2024 by robsblubot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminder that when Sanchez became available again, the manager chose Petrovic. In normal situations the starter would always come back. It was his decision to stick with Petrovic.

Fuck Poch. Craziest thing I've ever read around here. 😆If a manager would switch goalies every time one makes a mistake clubs would need about 10 reserve goalies lol. Notoriously difficult position to make changes. Edited May 5, 2024 by robsblubot Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
