Over reaction. Why on earth should sats
Effect pochs future? Crazy
Because he has to show that he is adaptive, if we play well and lose, if we show the passion we did last season and the press and lose I think people can stomach that, we have to see progress that's the main thing, you can still see progress even when a team loses, however if we see the same kind of performance we witnessed tonight and that we have been seeing since that City game then and we lose the game then I think it will affect his future at the club because it's showing consistent regression.
The players are already low in terms of morale, there is no telling what a loss will do, the fact we are unbeaten is frankly the only thing we can hold on to at this moment in time in terms of what we have achieved so far this season, we are already out of two cups, one being the biggest comp in world football and the football we have played has been a far cry from last season.
From an outsiders perspective it looks worrying, everyone is noticing the drop off in quality with us from last season, the fans are starting to notice it, imagine what it looks like to a football board, the players are clearly capable of more as shown last season and we have been extremely fortunate so far to remain unbeaten, like I said, West Ham was a get out of jail free card.
I am simply saying, football changes fast, Poch and the players can't afford to rest on their laurels and expect the hype from last season to carry them away from criticism, as long as progress is being shown however things will remain stable, I am not saying we should be expected to win the league but I do believe that going from 3rd to 5th/6th and being overtaken by teams that were considered to be in turmoil when we were much further ahead in our project and as a team then questions will need to be seriously asked.
Last season should by any metric have been a springboard to push forward not a rope to hang ourselves by the neck with and take away all the good work that has been achieved and frankly at this point, it's hard to know which one we are going to get at the end of this season but in my eyes at least, we look like we are regressing, despite our position in the league showing otherwise.
It's not beyond fixing at this point but things need to change and fast in my opinion, not even results, just our performances because the latter is the most worrying part.
