If some people thought that we'd play the same side twice in a row then they are not tuned it to our present situation. NDombele still hasn't got two consecutive starts in him. Poch is also hedging his bets with Aurier Sanchez Rose Davies Dele Moura and Eriksen. Too many of our guys are not really match fit. Kane Son Toby and Vert seem the only players we have up to it and he even rotated Vert out today. Patience is needed but that requires time

You missed Sissoko being up for it.

Look I know we lost again but I saw some positive ( this wasn't Red Star we were playing)

The eternal optimist. Four points from relegation zone, and the excuses are still coming. Ten games in, and still not ‘match fit’ for some players. Ofcourse we are aware the circumstances of the three new signings. Moreso, GLC/RS But both fit now. So how do they get match fit? TN, not capable still to start consistently, when he is one of the very few bright sparks. When I heard the team I thought it was curtains for us. Had it not been for our keeper, could of been game over after 45 minutes.

This is NOT the time for excuses. I still remember getting relegated with Steve Perryman, Peter Taylor, and Glen Hoddle in our team. How much longer must we wait? ?

Agree with this. Maybe Poch thought a game at Anfield was too much for the new signings but next week if I see Winks and Eriksen in the team ahead of Ndombele and Lo Celso, going to be be mightily pissed off. At LB, really hope Sessegnon is ready, Rose is done at us and Davies is just a bang average player who has no business being a starter for a top 6 club. RB, don't even no where to start. Unfortunately think be are stuck with that clown Aurier unless Foyth can go in and do a half decent job until Jan.

Poch has to get a grip now and simply play the newer players who want to be here rather than persisting with guys who have one foot out the door or minds elsewhere.

Let's get this right, Poch is not refusing to play are our new signings they've been injured. Harry Wink is a Tottenham boy through and through England international his had one really bad game this season against BM.

I'm not pochs biggest fan but we can't sack a manager after losing away to Liverpool they're a better side then us by a mile, Everton is huge, it's season defining if he loses that then get him out asap before it gets real ugly

Like I said, I'll give Poch today as a game at Anfield might not be the right game to throw in the newer players especially in the case of Lo Celso who has just come back from injury. Ndombele, who knows after the game midweek maybe starting today was too much as hasn't looked at peak fitness in a lot of games so far.

As for Winks, he simply isn't good enough to be starting so many games for us. Might be a nice lad and no doubt puts the effort but the quality is just not there. No problem with him as a squad player.

First bump ? We have been shit for 10 months, were clueless in a CL final, ridiculous subs, team tinkering every week/game, bizairre comments after games, playing players that don’t want to be here over ones that do, not playing players he bought, playing Aurier, flirting with other jobs, looking pissed off all the time, comments like it takes two years to get fit - I could go on. The bloke has gone in the head.

We ain’t won away since Jan ffs ? - he is paid 8.5m A YEAR to sort this. The club owes him nothing.

This ain’t a blip - and I support THFC not any player or manager.

He has had his time - he can find out how much greener the grass is now. My guess is he has peaked.

I suppose you are right...I wonder if Man U would have been as clever as you and sacked Alex Fergusson when he was struggeling....I mean their history would be so much different

This has been going on for 10 months now so it's not one result. Week after week it's either the wrong formation or picking out of form players with one foot out the door.

How much longer before we see RS, GLC, TND, actually start a game together? As far as I am concerned; Danny Rose has become a liability in more ways than ten. He gets caught out of position so often, can’t pass. Please tell me? Davis is decent, but no pace. Hence RS, is ready for a game now (educated opinion). CE has no argument! He shouldn’t even be on the bench with the crap I have seen. TND offers more! GLC-well when will he ever start? Dele has been extremely poor.

Do I think Poch has the nerve? No! He said it will take them the best part of two years to see them excel. Well farking hell, they are never gonna play at this rate. We will just rotate the same dross.

do you agree?

Poch will be gone before they do. The idea he has the time to bed them in is becoming ridiculous. This is now urgent, double the points off top 4 as we are relegation. Will take a mammoth turnaround to even get Europa, too many other teams having good seasons for this nonsense

Honestly us football fans are the worst in the world, no one compares to us

If we one day achieve success with Poch I hope all of you don’t celebrate it because you don’t deserve to

How long are you prepared to wait for that, if it ever happens?

in his 10 years or so in mgmt, he has not won any silverware of note. He’s more a bridesmaid than a bride.

he has overachieved in his time with us, but it’s looking like it’s all going downhill now. Some players are not happy to be at the club. Poch himself, from his words, his tactics, his stubbornness, doesn’t seem to want to be at the club.

the season is still early enough to be salvaged but Levy can’t wait too long before it’s too late. Missing out on CL would be a lot more expensive than paying off poch.

I don’t think anyone is arguing about Liverpool being the better side currently. The point is that poch has better, more determined players on the bench which he could have started with or used earlier in the game to , at least, salvage a point but he didn’t. We only lost by a single goal, so it wasn’t impossible to have tried to get something from this match.

and the current calls for his sacking isn’t based on this single game. The calls started a while back, and it’s been increasing each passing week.

For me, now is when it matters. Starting on Sunday. He has a full week with the players, iron out the problems in training and get back to a winning formula. No more excuses now, its about a performance on Sunday and result to match. If players arent doing it on the pitch then they need to be dropped.
