I’m very interested to see how he does with the squad and improvements he can bring.
It also looks like he’s assembling a very good back room staff, his assistant is a very promising young coach (maybe plan is under a director of football that he can succeed Mourinho one day?).
Seeing all the lazy rubbish in press about youth not being given a chance blah blah but he gave McTomininay and Rashford plenty of chances at Man U and Poch wasn’t exactly that great in promoting youth during his spell with us, regardless of the reputation he somehow has for doing so - Kane was already breaking through under Sherwood (boo hiss!) as was Bentaleb. Mason came in, but he had been rated for quite a while and injuries had stopped him, was still a good call to promote him though.
Poch’s handling of KWP has been very poor and Skipp, Tanganga and Onomah (who we’ll never know how good could be as his development was handled very badly and he was never played in his proper position) weren’t given much of a look in. Pritchard was also never even given a chance for us.
