The Mauricio Pochettino thread

He’s clearly just trying to protect the players with the ‘playing well’ comments.

I’m sure he’s telling a different story in the dressing room.

Dont get me wrong I’m in the ‘time for a change’ camp but all managers try and protect their players in public. To not do so rarely works out well - see Sherwood.

he has got to go - had enough of him now!
He is ruining our club now and he must go - sorry but we need to start chanting for him out now at the ground to put pressure on Levy and stop with the Magic song! he is not magic, he is tragic and enough is enough
I have made my views clear to Mr levy not that he will listen as he doesn't care, we miss CL football netx year now thanks to this inept manager who has taken us as far as he can.
It is time for the best outcome for the club to thank him and part ways as this ends at some point and for me it has to be now or accept we are in a relegation fight this year.
It is tragic situation

Listen to Poch tonight on Sky - "we played well" and we were controlling the game, fuck me the guy is deluded....

I do think he should go but I’d hate it for the fans to boo him or shout for his sacking!

Worrying thing is im not even sure he's near going yet. It all just feels so comfortable at the moment.

I tend to agree. I can't see Levy pulling the trigger until the home fans turn on him. I still think this is a way off.

Somehow he’s now 20/1 to be the next premier league manager to leave.

He’s going nowhere

Between 2 September 2018 - 10 February 2019) we had failed to win in only 6 games in 23 league games.

Since then we have won just only 6 games in 23 league games.

I would almost actually rather we lost on Wednesday night now. I certainly won't be that disappointed if we do. Poch has to go. But now we've left it too late to have much hope of Top 4, the best hope of salvaging the season is probably a new manager and some new signings in January helping us win the Europa League.

11th after 11 games, 10 points off fourth, 5 above relegation. How long is Levy going to let this continue? Is he waiting until top for is impossible? In our current form we are finishing bottom half.

It's very hard playing without a striker.

We’re shite when we play with one, too

Yeah, in some ways going out in 3rd position could give us another crack at a CL spot. Won't happen with Poch as head coach though.

I agree it would be horrible to do but I do not believe Levy will act unless we do !

It's even harder playing with no enthusiasm

I don’t think we need to buy players in January. And I bet Levy feels the same. We have a squad that should finish 3rd. We need the manager to pick the right team with the right tactics.

we do need to buy in January. at the moment we are playing with a team that might look great on paper, but having 2 players at least every week not giving 100% puts you on the back foot. changing the manager won't change it now, those players are not playing for themselves or the club because they are getting ready to piss off to their next club.

Sandros Shiny Head · Nov 3, 2019

Never thought the thing to make me annoyed at Levy would be not sacking a manager soon enough. This is so tedious it’s unreal. What do they do all week in training?

If he doesn’t go tomorrow then he isn’t going this year. Simple as that. He’s doing his best to get shit canned but Levy ain’t pulling the trigger. It needs to happen tonight/tomorrow.

Surely he will go if we are dragged within a result of the drop zone, something which is not far off. It should have happened three times by now, so I understand what you mean, but surely if we're in actual danger of relegation Levy will be left with no choice. I'd argue we're on the verge of that point now.

StevePil · Nov 3, 2019

He isn't going anywhere which is unbelievable neglect from Levy.
The football is terrible, we miss European football next year completely it would seem
Levy has his shiny stadium and income now so maybe doesn't need the European football.....
The only way he goes IMO is if we seriously get into a relegation battle which wouldnt surprise me the way we are playing.... any other manager would have been gone - look at arsenal - they want to win things, hence Emery under pressure and looking at Mourinho, whereas we just sit there with Poch accepting he is taking us down...
Levy is the problem here and needs to go !!!!!

His time should be up, but by sounds of it Levy is fine to piss the season away

Yep. I’d say top four is gone now. We look a terrible side. He’s not turning this around I’m afraid and has to go now.

Yeah, but the big picture is look at our stadium, facilities etc

We're a bigger Club.

Haha, funny!

Play the youth one sat on the bench, just give him a chance. Kane’s ill, not injured, back next week so why not play Parrott? Poch’s reputation as a manager who plays the youth and regularly looks to the academy is a myth, and has been for years now.

I think if we lose at at home to Shef United it will become very toxic very quickly. Still don't think Levy will sack him though.
