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. 

 

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.

And you don't know how well Sanchez could have been playing. Petrovic wasn't great when we were struggling. 
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? 🙂

Petrovic let in some goals that he could have saved but Sanchez was a constant liability

I honestly don't think they are that different, but agree that Petrovic is the better goalie. 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.

Sanchez showed the whole world what a pathetic loser he is against Arsenal and his loser coach started him the next match like nothing happened. Fuck Poch.

And Petrovic has been showing us most weeks why "nothing happened".

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.

For me I'm more encouraged by the fact there finally seems to be some tactical structure to performances and a willingness (with Cucu inverting) to adapt with the times.

If this carries on in the last three games then that will be 8 of the last 9 games that would have been tactically strong performances (admittedly the exception was a horror show) and with that in mind I'd probably be inclined to hold fire on wanting him out (short of Alonso or Pep declaring interest).

Was hardly his first mistake , Sanchez was making multiple clown errors per match . So terrible with the ball at his feet

Not to mention set pieces: when set pieces were off, it was all down to Poch. Now that we've been doing better, it's the players eh.

What we think matters little tho; bet the club owners have been reassured by the current form.

They sacked Potter just as he was starting to show a glimmer of his system starting to work so I'm not confident they'll come to the right decision either way tbh.

Their decisions with managers (in regards to timing) has been spectacularly bad, contrary to popular belief I do think the recruitment has been largely excellent since 2023 however only big criticism would be the goallie choices but they keep ruining it with the manager choices.
