Welcome Mauricio Pochettino

[Vegetable 830]

Still can't get over how surprised some folks are. Poch was trashed and laughed off FOR YEARS by the same people, who magically shut up when this absolutely ridiculous, no-go appointment of not only Tottenham manager but The Tottenham Man was done.

He has never shown anything out of ordinary with meh Tottenham squad. He couldn't handle the galactic PSG pack, he couldn't handle PSG when things went south there. He never has been nowhere near the level of what Chelsea was before the takeover, he is quite the level of what we are now, but I can't see him getting us back where we belong, especially with this ingenious recruitment, and can't even blame the guy for it. People expecting him to go on Mou or Tuchel -like campaign are just delusional.

From 12 to 8 in six years? More realistic, but I think the time passed had shown that the argument of him building the foundations, system, youth yada yada is invalid. He won't, as there is hardly environment and level of power to do so.

GTFO!

Honestly, that sounds about right.

Who did Chelsea beat on the way to the final? Newcastle were the toughest opposition.

Easy ride to the final.

This is a midtable side, with a run-of-the-mill coach.

A clownlake masterpiece.

Fucking loser.

Indeed. What a cheap excuse.

How young was that Liverpool side that played in extra time?

This current Chelsea roster is midtable at best, but a coach with better attitude could have done far more

He still shook hands with Eghbali.

Would have been more to it if he had snubbed the both of them.

It doesn't even matter if they threw on 3 16 year olds for their debuts in extra time, the fact that we can't score a goal in 90 minutes sums up our season perfectly!

And even then, we only beat them thanks to Trippier losing his mind on the pitch, gifting a goal and them not being able to convert in the penalty shootout.

Trophy was literally gift wrapped with his name on the label and he still pissed himself. Anyone who thinks he’s gonna win anything here is delusional.

 

 He needs to be gone , tomorrow

exactly , our run to the final was absolutely fraudulent to begin with , just like his CL run with Tottenham

Watch his left hand, there was no snub 

[bigbluewillie 1,930]

Never wanted him here.

He’s a habitual bottler, never won a thing, never will.

There are talks about Poch tactics, attacking patterns (or lack of them), but my question is - why do we so often look so poorly prepared in terms of fitness? Yesterday in overtime we were dying, vs City, vs Villa in cup, vs Luton, we are not playing any crazy pressing, we have no europe cups, we should be better prepared than this.

That's what happens when you don't have any experienced players (other than Thiago Silva) to set standards in training

You think the fitness would have been this bad if Jorginho, Kante, Azpi and others were still around the first team squad?
