I literally had to look all of those borough names up, might as well have been Moscow to me. We roll with the Leagrave Massive and the Sundon Park Ultras round this way.
Bloody northerners..

No I agree. However after these ‘clear the air’ talks, dinner, result against red star etc, we all expected a loss against Liverpool.
If we fail to beat Everton next week though, that’s entirely different.
I still back him because I appreciate everything he’s done here and that we just have a period of painful transition and that’s the way it’s got to be.
But he’s not making it easy by continually picking players who are just not delivering any kind of performances.
Have we even started the transition though? we know Vertonghen, Toby, Christian and rose will not be here next season yet he plays them every game. I’d be a lot more forgiving if we were playing the younger players and more committed players and losing every week.I still back him because I appreciate everything he’s done here and that we just have a period of painful transition and that’s the way it’s got to be.

I think I am still in the 'Poch in' camp. I didn't like his selection for the game today but he has given me the best 5 years of my time supporting spurs. I think that the performance today was ok - there was more urgency but we were playing a very good team and the result was fair. I do think we will beat Everton and we should give him the time and opportunity in January to refresh a couple of players.
Painful rebuild lol
Of course it will be painful if it takes the guts of two seasons to integrate new players ?
Funny how Rhodri slotted into City's midfield immediately

Dunstable boy, actually - I'm posh, like @Navin R Johnson.I thought you’d be more marsh farm

The problem is that if he drops or ostracises all the senior players it will lead to an even more toxic environment at the training ground, which will lead to other problems. I think until Jan he’s trying to balance everything and keep things from spilling over. I’m sure we’ll see more of Lo Celso, Sessegnon and Foyth now they are fit, though.Have we even started the transition though? we know Vertonghen, Toby, Christian and rose will not be here next season yet he plays them every game.

It would look like this:Be interesting to see a vote right now for Poch. A simple yes or no.

Absolute garbage.
Of course I wouldn't be but I am not particularly keen on someone else coming in, ripping things up and starting another project.Happy with Europa then?
'Spilling over'...we haven't won away in yonks, can barely scrap a result at all in the league right now, 8 points off top 4, bottom half, 4 off the relegation zone.The problem is that if he drops or ostracises all the senior players it will lead to an even more toxic environment at the training ground, which will lead to other problems.

I don't know how you can say that when it's been clear from previous games that Ndombele starts blowing up very early in games that require hard defensive cover.
Blame it on our fitness team, sure, but don't pretend its not been a problem up until now.
Personally I'd play him anyway because I fucking love his passing range and vision but I ain't the manager and I don't have to account for when team structures break down because a central lynch pin can't go when others can.
I think this is a sizeable part of why we're tanking at the moment: I think most of the rest of the league have largely caught up with us (and in several cases, gone past us) in terms of player fitness, and we can no longer use rely on extra legs to get us out of jail when our quality or our tactics are letting us down.The argument for not playing the new signings until they are "Poch fit" doesn't work if the current players are running hard and able to do so.
