Ah, well if they’re serial winners then give them the job! If we get one of them in by the weekend do you think we can still win the title, or will we have to wait till next year?

So you think we are good as we are, we the status quo. I don't!

"Maybe our performances are good" :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D I think he's on a wind-up by now. We've just lost to a League 2 side without forcing a single decent save. In the rest of the interview, he blames "time we lost in pre-season" (huh? That's the excuse when there's been a tournament mate!), and suggests he needs a transfer windows to fix things after not fixing things in the last several. I seriously want some of whatever he's been smoking.


Get rid of the bad apples then.
Oh and find a formation not taken form the England dark ages.

The comments in the twitter feed are bad. A lot seem like they're losing patience with him

Can you really blame them? Many of us are spending a substantial four-figure sum to watch this flaming bollocks, and he's trying to justify it as good performances.

We did turn up for the CL final - that game was changed by a bullshit penalty. From then on it was a complete boring arm wrestle. But speak to Klopp about whether "we turned up".

Also it doesn't negate the mental guts it took to qualify and get past City and then fight back against Ajax.

And it doesn't change the fact we were 2 points from top in January 2019.


Now it's possible everything has fallen apart and can't be rectified. But you can't shit on everything that came before. It happened. It was real. That was Poch.

So that's the worry about getting rid. And it's a legitimate one.

We didn’t play wel!

For me the issue is that he didn't foresee the problems that such a selection would present. He's struggling to get us playing good football with our best players out on the pitch. I'm not quite sure how he wouldn't see such a performance coming with that selection,


He basically played 8 defensive players vs a L2 side

I’ll say it. I want Mourinho. He’s a winner. He’s what we need. If he comes and I’m wrong then I’ll hold my hands up and say I got it wrong but he’s the best replacement we could seriously get.

Edit: who do the disagrees want then when Poch goes?

Mourinho's finished, otherwise he'd be in a job right now.

We didn’t even turn up for the Cl final ffs. That was a huge warning sign in itself. The rot has been apparent for ages.

We’ve been getting worse and worse and worse since the start of last season.

The CL final has become this thing that people use to defend Poch but we didn’t even win the fucking game. We were utter shit!

Sorry anyone who thinks this about the CL final doesn't know shit about football. Ask Klopp. Ffs.

You've got plenty to hang at Poch's door with our form since February without making up ignorant shit about out CL run. It just exposes your lack of understanding about football. You don't need to do it.

I still believe in Poch. He's shown loyalty to us in the past and we should do the same to him now. He said the revolution would be painful, he wanted a big turnover of players because he saw this coming. He didn't get it. Stick with him and he'll get it back. Sacking managers should be a last resort.

There's no guaranty whoever comes in will do any better. An upgrade on Poch, right now to take us to the next level is a Klopp type quality. Who's out there? Of course if some manager came in now of that quality and offered their services, that's a different story.

That’s the big problem and it’s why I would want to stick with Poch ordinarily. But we don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors and something is up.

I’ve a feeling Levy will be paralysed with fear and won’t make the right decision. All I know is that he’s tried to get Mourinho twice before. Once when he was at Porto and then after he left Chelsea the first time. He likes him. Mourinho is out of work. It’s not a stretch to think he’d go for him.

I’m 50/50 it would be the right decision or not.

We've won 4 out of our last 17 games. 34 points total in 2019. At what point would you sack him?

Erm, we were utter gash in the final. Liverpool hardly got out of second gear.

We didn’t play wel!

And we didn't let Liverpool play well. Get it?

The game was changed by the penalty. After that it was a cagy gritty boring fucking do or die arm wrestle. Why on earth do you think Klopp namechecked Poch when he won best manager.

Ffs. If we played shit Liverpool would have blasted us away. Isn't that obvious?

I think the rot has well and truly set in now.
I still believe we have a very good squad (obviously lacking in wide areas- still no idea why we weren't looking at full backs in the summer.)
The squad seems to either lost interest or belief in poch's philosophy, if it's true that the likes of rose and wanyama were being offered out to every club then is it any really surprise that they might think the club dont really want me so why should I run myself into the ground.
Other players listening to press conferences from poch about potentially leaving after the CL final and thinking the manager has told me I've got to stay and be 100% committed then hes flirting in the media with other clubs. Just observations and maybe I'm well wide of the mark but apart from team formations and dodgy subs I think we have seen a drop of in effort from a large number of the players. The likes of dier and skipp see wanyama coming off the bench before them despite the club not really wanting him doesn't help motivate them.
I really dont know what the answer is but it doea feel this this has been festering away behind the scenes for ages now and you get the impression even trippier is still desperate to spill the beans.

I saw a 10 second clip on Gillette Soccer thingy and watched Davies getting outfought, outmuscled and outrun by a league 2 player

Sums it all up really

What I don’t get it why he was so hell bent in stopping the press and switching the formation and tactics we used to play in the season we fought Leicester for the title to this shite defensive formation. Not to mention his reluctance for our right backs to get up the wings. What’s the diamond formation about too?!
