Totally unrelated scenario.....bollocking an opposing player needs no 'diplomacy' at all, dealing with one of your team is entirely different.
As long as that distance was greater than he could kick a boot.
So tackling someone means you can man manage difficult situations?
Fuck off you Woolwich troll cunt. I seen someone the other day say you posted over 100 times in one day..get a life mate
I've given this a lot of thought; I thought it could maybe be Poch thinking he should be more than just head coach, the disbandment of our recruitment apparatus, no DOF to oversee contracts, both resulting in some meh signings and some of our best players about to leave for frees, some talented academy kids being packed off for being on instagram and whatnot......but as "what's gone wrong scenarios go, I think you'll actually find our demise directly correlates with Poch thinking this fella should be playing more regularly for a team that has "playing football" as one of it's core philosophies.

Ha, it took an “Opta stats Director” to come up with that conclusion then.....Fuck, 99% of this forum could have told him that, idiot!!
To be fair, when they signed Mane £34 m was a fair chunk of money relative to other signings. all transfers have inflated massively since then. Pool were also able to pay him much higher wages than most clubs could and certainly what we were paying pre-knocking down the old stadium.
Salah was brilliant business, although he didn’t cost that much, what would he be worth today?? I don’t think he has been coached to be that fast or to score such goals (perhaps the diving maybe!)
Salah and some of the others may not have cost that much, but neither did Vardy, Mahrez and Kante for Leicester. It happens very occasionally. Personally I think luck plays a big part in addition to careful research & judgement, or else it would be happening all the time.
Only 100? Slow day for him
Do you think we would have smashed Newcastle if we had Ndombele on for Sissoko? I don't.
Oh look we’ve got another one who thinks lurking means you have a girlfriend

Yet without him it would have gone even more wrong....
Poch needs to stop blabbing in the papers as it’s become self centered and snide. Far more damaging than anything Redknapp ever did.
Why is Poch saying he’s not the manager he’s a coach and then going back in it a day later?
Why is he telling everyone there is no harmony between the players?
One day the FA Cup is shit, ego building but now we want to win it.
He was going to quit if we win the CL
He had never felt worse in his time here
We can’t compete with the big teams but we’re an elite team and only the PL and CL matter
But
Our target is 4th because we don’t have the players
But
We have a great squad and have to do things differently and be clever
Only City and Liverpool have mangers that choose their own players and here it’s Levy
But
“I personally spoke to Aurier/Moura/Llorente...............”
The window shutting on deadline day is great
The window shutting early is unacceptable
VAR is destroying fooball
We have to accept VAR (after we gain from it)
SHUT THE FUCK UP and play Eriksen and Dele in their correct positions.
The more I think about it, the club should be making preparations now to replace Poch at the end of the season.
There is a difference between a discussion about the difficult sitiuation we find ourselves in and the question asked at the start of the thread which is hysterical. It certainly warrants a discussion, we are all worried, but it's the angle of the discussion which bothers me. If you read that question without reading the table first you'd thought that we were 16th in March. Which obviously is not the case.
Not saying it will all go away right away, but the current discussion is over the top. It hasn't actually gone wrong. Yes we have had a sequence with bad results, but we also went to the Final in the biggest football club tournament in the world. A fact that should not, under any circumstances be ignored. I think it's obvious that our journey to the final for the first time ever is one of the factors we couldn't produce the highest level in the league.
If there is one thing I can agree with then it's the fact that he needs to stop being negative when talking to the press. If he doesn't, he will soon become a tag as a new Mourinho is moaning and won't get positive press from anyone. When something is not right at the moment, a lot of it has with Poch personally to do. There are difficulties at every club, but please keep it internal. He has done wonders with a lot worse squad than the current one. He needs to get a grip and get his act together. I believe he can do it though, he has it in him.
And if it really does goes wrong no player or manager is bigger than the club. I'd regret the day though, as it will be hard to find someone like the Poch we knew (not the post CL Final one).

You mean like he didn’t make a difference against Villa?
I don’t think Ndombele is the messiah, but I think one of the reasons we bought him was precisely because he can bring some of the things to our midfield that Sissoko is incapable of, like playing football, seeing passes etc
Hey, mate, I went out and found this piece I was looking for. Back then I did not (want) to believe it, but the signs were there before. Just bit later the situation got exposed more.
That very clearly stipulates that we have been on downhill slope since mid 17/18. Whenever you look at the goals scored or goals conceded - this all fits together. We score less and less, we concede more and more. And we don't even press the oppo like AT ALL.
So the system is gone, squad is fleeing, results are getting worse, Poch seems like Mourinho on his worst days in press conferences. Why prolong the misery now. Basically all parties except Levy are unhappy with the situation now, isn't it so?
Sissoko isn't the problem. Winks is and has been hindering our football in pursuit of his pass count for ages.
Or sooner.
There's every possibility Poch isn't happy that he didnt get everything he wanted and was promised this summer and is now starting the procedure of getting himself sacked. No manager resigns anymore and no one gets sacked for being good.
It would be a great shame if the man who oversaw such an escalation in our fortunes left on a bum note.
I'd rather rinse Madrid for £20m and him be the first manager we've lost, rather than sacked since I can actually remember.
