He's certainly is. I would love him to do well here.“He’s specialll you knowww...”

Agree.
Poch was a bit soft and didn’t get the media right, I can already feel Jose is slowly building a seige mentality again, enjoy the ride pps.
I hope Poch learnt a lesson about the book. Don't get me wrong it was interesting but it was completely unnecessary and a little bit arrogant as it looked like he felt he was sitting in a position of greatness. He was mightily close but I think he was a little stubborn at times and that may have denied him his deserving moment of success.Poch was naive. He didn't go full Tim Sherwood, with the "us/we" is the media, "them" is the team, but definitely naive.
I think Poch started to feel like a media darling, but he walked right into a trap. Balague convinced him to give up his psychological secrets under a facade of memoirs, and it blew the team apart. At the end of the day, they aren't your friends - they will sell the flesh off your back if the need to.
Jose's got it right - use them before they use you, and if you do it right - even if they salivate wildy at the chance to target everything you do - they will always want more, and so you can easily still be a pundit.

I hope when he comes back he learns from some mistakes.
Yes it’s a mine field and hotly disputed. In English dictionaries eventually just decide to include or exclude words and that is that. In French (at least as spoken in France) the Académie Française has to pronounce for a change to be formalized. It decided that changing some words to be gender neutral was not possible because things have to agree and it is more trouble than it’s worth. But professions can be made feminine where there has traditionally only been a masculine form.Off topic, but I do wonder how the whole gender-fluidity thing works in latin languages. The potential to be offended is exponential.

Our performances may not have been great but you can’t complain about our record since the lockdown:
Played - 7
Won - 4
Drew - 2
Lost - 1
We’ve achieved this despite rarely getting out of 1st gear. Imagine how good we will be with reinforcements at full back and a new decent central midfielder.
Mourinho’s tactics may not be pretty but they’re effective. Add a few new players and we’ll back up there pushing for a top 4 finish and competing in the domestic trophies.
Great to see Lo Celso at the heart of the celebrationsJose Mourinho has asked why other managers are not questioned on team selection
Tottenham were 3-1 winners against Newcastle in the Premier League - the first time Jose Mourinho has won at St James Parkwww.skysports.com
Lol he’s getting even more verbal slap downs in! ??
Also small things I’m noticing with Jose like how when asked in the PM presser what does Bergwiegn have to do to start a match he says “nothing he is a team player all our players are team players whether they start or help the team for 30 minutes or 5 minutes, we don’t just need 11 good players we don’t just need 15, we need more, big clubs have many good players”.Poch was naive. He didn't go full Tim Sherwood, with the "us/we" is the media, "them" is the team, but definitely naive.

I’m partly Italian and trust me that language is a nightmare for genders haha! There are rules within rules.Yes it’s a mine field and hotly disputed.

This will rumble on for all of my lifetime as an inherently conservative body will gradually recognize linguistic features seen as perjoratively gendered. Gendered words will never disappear though and neither should they.
He is a funny guy
Ndombélé is technical and doesn’t get anywhere near the team. The problem is that he’s not aggressive enough. So it’s hard to square that with your view...One thing that we were told by ITK was that Jose wanted technical/tactical players.
I think today you could see exactly why its pivotal to the way his team plays and also highlights why we struggled once the press wore off.
Poch wanted fighters, players who could be aggressive and push the opposition back, winning the ball back immediately.

What is a tactical player ? A player that fits a system ?Ndombele is not tactical player
