This the same Pochettino that was going to bring the players in the Sunday after Newcastle to train but then gave them 2 days off instead? 

Yeah sure...

Nobody train after a game

Chances of Poch getting sacked before new year? Very little, but we are piss poor in the final third, decision making and discipline. All that has got to be on the coach. Half a season gone and it doesn't seem like we have improved one bit... regardless of the injuries.

Get him out, the guy has absolute no clue what he's doing. Just tactically inept.

I think that's it for me. He does nothing to make me believe he is an elite manager. 

Injuries definitely hasnt helped him, and some these players the board have given him are terrible. 

None of these young players that have been playing regularly are improving, other than Gallagher who the club clearly dont see as a big player anyway. 

Bizarre decisions, no style of play, awful discipline record with so many bookings for descent and diving. 

He has a lot to do to win me back over.

Poor defending time after time again, I doubt that it's the players in fact I'm convinced that Poch doesn't do that part of the job well.

But let's face it, the biggest investment is that midfield of Enzo, Caicedo and Lavia. Over 250m spent and none of them is playing. Basically the same effect of having an injured Kante.

Bye bye Poch. This team hasn’t a clue what it’s doing. 
 

Lets be clear, this team is the same level as Wolves (having just been beaten by them), Palace, Bournemouth etc. and it’s his fault. No improvement in the slightest since he arrived. 

Can blame the players all we want but Poch has to take accountability as well. It’s just not good enough. 

Sack him. Bring back Mourinho for a couple of years to break these players into maturing. He can create a core that can last a decade. 

Nkunku might save him his job. 

Needs to play him though, and also the likes of Maatsen, Madueke, Lavia, Matos and Washington ... at least until they are demonstrably as sh*te as the rest anyway LOL

I’d rather he didn’t train them and they turn up and play. Would be better as I’ve no f’ing clue what he does on the training pitch. 

1 step forward , two steps back , it’s the same as it’s been all season. Feel like he’s 2/3 bad results away from the sack all the time.

That says it all very well. I’ve lost faith in him also.

I'm sure he feels like that as well, which might be why we get the conservative approach we do ...

Mourinho would sell most of these sh*te young players in January.

And I'd love it.

I’d prefer if he nearly parked bus and got us solid. Hard to see what he’s trying to do at the moment, 2 cheap goals given away today and also looked vulnerable on the counter.

we miss a lot of chances but it all feels isolated, it’s a big chance missed then nothing for another 10-20 minutes , there’s no sustained pressure when chasing a goal. Such an easy team to play against at both ends.

Nkunku really is a generational player though. Some people don’t understand this. The fact Poch needs to rely on him vs improving any player not named Conor Gallagher, is concerning. 

I don’t know. This reeks of Lampard’s tenure atm. 

Most teams whether performing good or bad reflect their leader, it’s a simple truth , look around different sports and the successful and not so teams and of course the same applies in business at work. 

Nothing is going to change with this chap at the helm, yes we do have a massive semi coming up in the new Year that is winnable but will only mean likely humiliation at Wembley vs Bindippers.

Even if one could wave a magic wand and bring back any one of a number of ex successful CFC managers with this squad and ownership they’d do no better. 

 

Difficult to have sympathy for his rant on Chelsea not being a charity when he continues to start the likes of Jackson

This guy is a piss poor coach at the highest level. He can't see what other top coaches would spot a mile off and hasn't changed a single thing about our style of football. The only noticeable change in our game is how ill disciplined he has made them. I wouldn't be surprised if we have picked up more bookings than anybody for mouthing off at the ref. As for his ability as defensive coach, it's as bad as I have seen at the club. 

I knew from the start that he would be the wrong choice when so many were acting like he was the perfect coach for young players. He's not, he's just a bang average former Tottenham bottler.

The whole team is circled around Gallagher. Thats a big issue. This isn’t Gallagher’s fault mind. 
 

Enzo, Caicedo, Badiashile, Colwill and even Silva look like shadows of their former selves.

Something wrong with this Dysfunctional team, Poch can’t get a tune out of this Team, whatever happens don’t let Conor go, don’t play Desasi, fly Mudryk back to the Ukraine, Play Palmer more centrally, Try Broja and Nkunku, we are currently dire….

Why would you fly Mudryk back, he's been decent recently and his adapting to the league.

Broja, Jackson and Sterling were awful. 

I know the group he has to work with aren't up to much, but it's unforgivable that he hasn't changed a single thing about our style of football.

Postecoglou has gone into Tottenham and instantly transformed how they play, I do feel like his high line is a disaster waiting to happen though. Guardiola did the same with City. Klopp did the same with Liverpool. Mourinho did the same with us and when Conte noticed things weren't working for us, he instantly changed how we played and we went on to win the league.

I have been desperate for somebody to get us away from this style of football for years now and Pochettino is another that is failing to do it, why? These are new players, they shouldn't even have a system, yet they have settled into the exact same sh*t that wasn't working under previous coaches. I don't understand this, and any coach that comes and doesn't change it is an instant failure in my eyes.

Maybe it's all dictated by the Director's of Football ?

Aren't there some big notice boards up at Cobham with our club "formations" on them and who does what, and stuff like that ?
