I said a long time ago that Levy would, at some point, decide our squad was good enough for top four and stop investing in it for a while. We then had the transferless windows and zero attacking options aside from Lamela (who was perma injured) and Moura (who simply isn't good enough). This squad has been neglected and this year we've seen the consequence of that.

How can he the team are not good enough, Poch has been saying it for last 2 years.
yes but he keeps playing the same old players that keep letting us down, play some youth players that actually want to play for the club. How did poch turn the club around last time?

Fucking hell it's like Vertonghen's aged 5 years since last season. He's hopelessly slow and awkward now.

Eriksen bottling 50/50s. Dele stinking the place out. Moura shocking. Terrible terrible side.

But Mourinho is the messiah who wins things and will solve all our problems. So the SC crowd of sharp football coaches decided
This is the problem. The players probably think it will automatically happen (win things) without having to do anything for it

The only solutions there are involve a lot of new players. Poch and Jose - two of the most well respected managers in the world - and no difference at all in the performance of these players. It's not the coaching.

It's a team in Pochettino's image, first coached off any winning fibre. Then gone stale and lost will to play at all like the manager did. You are right though, this isn't fixed on the training pitch, but in the transfer market.
