Something is very wrong and for the first time under poch I fear that we are in trouble! There is a general malaise over the entire team. No energy, no creativity, nothing.
I am deeply, deeply concerned.
We will need to play considerably better in the NLD than we have this far or we will get a serious hiding!

I think there's something wrong with Poch, personally. Wondering if the Champions League final is totally messing with his head or something. It just seems different.

That's why that is the blueprint for every team visiting us.
When teams come to attack us we're fine as there's space for our better players to use.
But any time (for practically the whole of Poch's reign) teams come and sit narrow we look abysmal. With zero team play just relying on wingers and full backs to beat men and produce. No pass no move no zip in the players or the passing. No obvious patterns to break them down just a battering ram or slow side to side from the whole team not just CM.
Lethargic and slow.
I prey that pre season is still in their legs as if it's not we could be in for a long season...

We had that one season where we were battering teams at home by 4+ goals. Fun times.

Don't forget the CL where nothing changed tactically until the last ten minutes or so, even though the game plan needed to go out the window almost immediately.

I’d boo if I had paid potentially £100’s to see that shit and for some people potentially the only game they’ll get to see this season. SeeIng fans can’t interview the players there’s no other way to give feedback.

Poch Is going the same way as Mourinho. Can’t see him lasting long if he stays stubborn. How can you fall out with so many of your key players.

Reality is that Winks, KWP, Sissoko and Sanchez are not up to it.
With 3 of our best players wanting out it's worrying times.

The really frustrating thing is the need to pass back and forth before getting it in the box. A player will be wide with a chance to get it in the box. He will turn and play it inside. Who then plays it back out wide again. Back inside. Back out wide. Then the ball comes in.
Why?
Why?

Hot day
Players not fit.
We’ve been watching the cricket.
Whatever he says it’s garbage.
Losing at home to Newcastle absolutely should not be happening
Poch needs some serious time with the footage and tactics board because the players don’t fit the formations right now or vice versa. For me the narrow congestion is killing us.
Slow, no creativity, no identity and today abysmal finishing when the balls finally went in

We lack width because Lucas and son aren't willing to stay out wide and make diagonal runs in behind their fullbacks. They love to sit in the channel in front of the defence or make late runs into the box. The best teams all have wingers who like to get in behind, whereas we just don't seem to want to play that way. We then don't have the fullbacks overlapping anywhere near enough to make up for it.
Our midfield is also a shambles because there's no proper DM. Winks just doesn't cut it, either way imo. Good sub to have at best, but he isn't better than our other midfielders and he doesn't contribute enough defensively to make up for that. There's just so much wrong with the team at the moment. It isn't looking good at all

Not having it about individual players. It's this current system. It doesnt work for anyone.

We need a change, it doesn’t have to be a new manager, it could be a new member of the coaching staff, and Poch being willing to listen to new ideas.
It’s not like we’d be texting Fat Sam or Woy if Poch left, is it? The best in Europe would sniffing around, Klopp and Pep included.
