Can we add an undecided option
I did think about it, but chose (at this point) to leave it very binary, just to see the initial response. I may well put in undecided later though, although see my previous post as well.

Brighton’s a big game, if we see no reaction from the players the i feel times up, we genuinely need to roll over Brighton but that’s a long shot

This is the sort of “IN” or “OUT” poll that got us in the whole mess with Brexit.

However, I’ve been in the “in” camp whilst I’ve retained hope Poch can turn it around but CL run last season apart we’ve been bad since Wolves at Wembley and I’m starting to lose faith (a) he can turn it around (in part because he so stubborn) and that his heart is in it; and (b) Levy will give him what he needs.

I’m pissed off we’ve ended with a squad where we effectively need our whole defence replacing plus another creative midfielder once CE goes. That is going to take at least half a season to properly drill that defence too so the next 18 months feels like it is going to very tough.

I want him to stay as long as we never, ever see a fucking 4312 diamond again. I want us to go back to the good old 4231.

I want him to stay because he has lo cleso and sess to come back and I want to see how the team performs with his new players together in the first 11.

It’s going to be very interesting to see who starts. If he decides to make a lot of changes or give the same team a chance to redeem themselves.

The really worrying thing tonight for me was how insipid we were after half time.

That wasn't a team who had been inspired by their manager. And that's when problems start.

Not time to go now. But I think if we don't improve in the next 3 games then questions will rightly be asked.

Stay. Don't see who we could possibly get to fix this mid-season.
Yeah, it would be nigh on impossible to improve our form, the guys practically working miracles here, I'm not being sarcastic in the slightest... :whistle:

Needs to go for me. It's all gone way to stale. Can't see him clawing it back.

Something is missing for me as a fan. Chatting to a few in the ground tonight and all said the same.

I'll happily be judged on my vote - it's an out for me. The marriage has been on shaky grounds for some time. Get the divorce payment ready Daniel!

He’ll roll out the same team no doubt with wanyama Dier skill and any other CDM in the youth teams on the bench

Stay.

He does piss me off with his complaints and threats to leave, and random tactical decisions, but sometimes you need to take a step back and see the bigger picture.

We’re complaining about a spanking in the CL. A tournament we were begging to get into, and one in which we reached the bloody final under him only a few months ago.

We’ve got injuries and players out of form. Contract disputes and the inevitable comedown atmosphere after coming so close to glory. Keep the faith. At this point there’s about as much risk hoping he can turn things around as banking on some new manager to reach his previous achievements.

Lets see what response comes from Saturday. And more importantly what team Poch starts with. Needs time with Sess, Ndombele and GLC.

Just on the 'Undecided' front - if you genuinely can't decide right at this point, post a comment to that effect and if there are enough I'll add in the option when I do the first tally. And you can then change your vote if you want to.

This battering has been coming, we’ve defended awfully for ages, we could and should’ve let in 10 away to Man City earlier this season. Something is very wrong.

This. We actually have the squad for this system.
So much of our defensive problems stems from not having Dier drop back from DM and effectively making it a 3 in defence. Playing Winks as a DM was one of the dumbest experiments I have seen. Would have made more sense to play Sissoko there if we really, really had to. Beyond that, it is so better balanced and as you say, We have exactly the team for it.

Can't believe the numbers.

Have people lost the plot?

We've been playing pretty well, we hit the post at Arsenal which would have killed the game. VAR ruled out a goal at Leicester which would have capped off an almost certain impressive away win.

We played well tonight for the first 30. Tonight was a freak result, everything Bayern hit went in.

I don't agree we have been playing well but I do think things have gone against us. The Kane penalty against Newcastle. The woodwork against Arsenal and the offside against Leicester. Those 6 points would move us to 2nd place above Man City. It's a game of fine of fine margins and we are not that far off, so for me Poch deserves more time. I also agree that Bayern were ruthlessly clinical tonight and 7-2 was a bit of a freak scoreline.
