Are the board happy with pochetinos year so far
What did you make of the final.

{Ed002's Note - The board won't be happy with how the season is going. I did not see the game.}

If the owners are happy I would be worried.

I will remember Jose fondly but I never ever want to see him as our manager again.

Jose would be a good fit right now, the young players will benefit from his wisdom and winning mentality and he would engage the fans and unite the club. Bring back Steve Holland as coach and promote JT to the first team squad.

Ed002 - do you anticipate a change in the summer, either with the head coach or the overall sporting model, given the way the season is bearing out?

{Ed002's Note - There is nothing wrong with the "sporting model". As I have explained previously the coach may change in the summer. I suspect he probably will.}

The same Steve Holland who is Southgate’s assistant. That’s a progressive combo!

Jose is all our yesterday’s and his only current plus is “he is available. ”

FGS, if we change our manager yet again let’s make it a positive change. The bloke from Spirting Lisbon gets good reviews. I say again, I hope Poch remains as our manager for many seasons to come for obvious reasons!

Maybe they should seek outside advice into is it really down to poch or is he doing what he can with a poorly built squad,

Any manager will do better next season as we will have a no9. Poch has one hand tied engine his back and is being hung out to dry for taking to many shots to the face,

Roma moved on Jose as he was too much hassle and results wernt good, he was sacked from us 10th with Costa hazard cesc Terry courtois . everyone knows Jose likes older experienced players, who couldn’t get a tune from a young salah, what’s he going to do with Madueke and mudryk,

Coach changing again ? what an absolute shambles we are in.

I think top quality managers have the ability to manage the players they have got.

That includes improving there fitness, movement with or without the ball, wining individual battles, creating space, concentration and mentality. There are other things like playing players in the best position.

Any new manager may well end up with a new CF but he will have to make our existing performances better with basically the same squad.

I do consider Poch to have been unlucky with player injuries but other clubs have suffered with injuries as well.

TomB the difference with injuries is the turnover of our squad. They’re practically all new and so not used to playing with each other so when there’s constant chopping and changing due to injuries no fluidity or cohesion can be established. Other clubs whilst having injuries have for the most part settled squads who’ve been together for several years so any injuries aren’t as impactful as the replacement players have been around the squad and in training sessions with the squad before.

fuser, you are probably correct in your assessment about injuries effecting the building/ cohesion of the squad and its lack of consistency.

It’s probably just me but I’m not a fan of making injuries an excuse. I believe it’s a now a squad game and regardless of age or experience if your a member of the first team squad the player has to be regarded as good enough!
