Not sure if you’re joking or not, I imagine so but I wouldn’t put it past some people here

It says long serving, but it doesn't say current player. I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of the players who left in the summer.
Not so sure about that. Could be him....!I saw that this morning, quite clearly not Danny Rose

1. Most of those players were not signed early on, in fact, more than half the players I listed were signed summer 2017 or later (so, in the last 5 windows of Pochettino’s 11).
2. Yes we lost Walker and Dembele, if we didn’t lose players in the freshening process we’d end up with many more players than we could register.
3. Dembeles replacements have been Sissoko (bought before Dembele left) and Ndombele (bought the window after Dembele left), not to mention Winks who we’ve watched evolve over several seasons, while Walker’s replacement (Aurier) was bought the same window he left. Slow in replacing?
3. You talk about deficiencies built up over time... I just can’t see where the obvious hole is in our playing personnel when compared to, say, Liverpool, who are all conquering with a midfield usually made up of Henderson, Wijnaldum and Fabinho. They’re superior in some areas, but we are superior in others. The difference is that Liverpool’s manager is getting a tune out of them, ours isn’t.
I continue to maintain that, if Pochettino’s heart is in it, he is talented and able enough to get our squad where it needs to be, but if he doesn’t then that’s on him.

Fergie also recognised that employing different assistant managers throughout his reign delivering a fresh coaching impetus was required.Fergie was also able to keep things fresh by regularly renewing the playing squad- Pochettino hasn’t had the same luxury. Things turning stale after years of chronic underinvestment in the squad (relatively speaking) is not surprising and something many of us predicted when it because clear we were not utilising our transfer windows effectively. It was great that we made moves to address that in the summer window but once again we were hampered by bringing players into the squad late and we have been unlucky with injuries. In any case I don’t think it’s a problem that can be solved in just one window- it’s more likely to take 2 or 3 windows (at least) of investing in the correct players.

I think Poch should change some of the coaching staff. Fergie used to do it every so often to freshen things up. We know we have the payers, but everything is just a bit tired and stale at the moment. A change of coaching staff and training could do the trick.
Never thought about his assistants.. Good pointFergie also recognised that employing different assistant managers throughout his reign delivering a fresh coaching impetus was required.
It's quite evident that the message from Poch isn't being translated not nearly enough on the pitch and I think he needs to shed his comfort blankets (Perez etc) in order to rectify this if he truly wants to succeed.
