Ever since he said he might leave if we win the Champions League Poch has kind of invited media attention on himself. Almost feels like he's doing a Mourinho. Something obviously isn't clicking with the squad right now.

Yeah, kind of wish he had left on a high after the CL.

Would be sad if he ends up leaving under a cloud
 
I think you're missing the point...
Fans will STILL argue the decisions of VAR, like they did with Referees... it's just they can't throw 'human error' into the equation... and yet it's humans who are still deciding these things!
We've benefited and now sufferered from the warped version of football That VAR has created!


Which is why VAR will be the death of football.
Mate what the quibble is about if the Lino gave offside and it stood , my sentiments would be the same not arguing because it’s been and gone not agreeing. What’s not to get
 
The VAR cannot be that precise to within a millionith of an inch. As BT studio pointed out, what if they froze the screenshot 1/100th earlier and the ball still been played, Son would have been clearly onside.

On the football front, I was appalled when Poch took off Sissoko merely because he was on a yellow - Sissoko was helping the defense non-stop and taking up correct positions - Wanyama allowed space that Leicester exploited and was a mile away from maddison when he shot (Gazzanigga was very slow to read that also).

When Poch made that substitution I thought he harmed the team that was dominating the game!
 
So fucking pissed off , it really rips the soul out of the weekend when we lose. Poch must be trolling us now, my heart sank when he brought Wanyama on, the blokes crocked, he shouldn't even be on the bench let alone getting on the pitch. Anyone with eyes can see this but not our manager apparently. Shit substitutions again and diabolical game management from a bloke who's lost the plot.
Still all's not lost, the wife thinks i'm a miserable git and is not talking to me.
 
A few things not working which is why the machine fails:

Though Kane scored a very good goal, his lack of drive and intensity is impacting the whole team.

He's been lethargic for very, very long time now.

Along with Ndombele, you can't have two joggers in the team; especially away.

Poch not sticking to 4231 for a while (especially after CP win) and focusing on making it 442/451 when defending to keep things tight.

Just keep it simple and drill the wide A3 to properly muck in defensively.

Poch still making silly subs. Think this is beyond not learning now and he just has bad in-game judgement, full stop.

We're still a very wasteful team and squander chances we should be converting.

And Harry should have many more assists.

Having a fit Sess and GLC will really help going forward.

I enjoyed most of that game: both teams competed; L'ster just wanted it more.

Their fans are rancid cunts and I shit on them.

/End

Whatever - you are happy to slag of players, managers, owners and pretend to be a fan - fuck you

"Happy to slag off players, managers, owners and pretend to be a fan"

Wait, I have spent months and months defending Poch so don't even fucking go there you disingenuous little scrote.

Same with Eriksen who the majority of your little gang were busy slagging off whilst I was saying he is imperative to our success because I was trying to get behind one of our players.

Being critical doesn't = slagging off, you can't seperate the two because you think supporting a club should be like a fucking cult where you don't question anything, no matter how bad things are getting, you were the same with Levy, he can do no wrong in your eyes because you lack the ability to view things from a emotionally detached perspective.

I am not "pretending" to be anything either, I have supported this club for over 30 years, seen countless managers, numerous chairman and entire teams change and over those years I have come across a handful of supporters like yourself and it's always the same bollocks, blaming other supporters because you can't face the fucking reality of the situation because you lack the emotional maturity to do so.

You can keep ignoring what's going on all you want, I fucking LOVE Poch, I would LOVE for him to fix what's happening but this isn't just one bad result or a few bad decisions, this has been happening since last season and anybody who isn't a delusional cunt can see it.

You got me wrong... I'm saying that even WITH the introduction of VAR, fans are STILL questioning the decisions... when I think the POINT of it was to eradicate all reasonable doubt, and thus negate the need to debate it in the pub afterwards...

Personally, I think it was created to help close pubs, and stop the art of debate.... but it will never do that, as I'm still debating the decision in a Pub right now!
 


YouTube video showing how VAR is fucked and legit makes everything more contentious then it needs to be.

My personal opinion is if you can't see it with the naked eye no advantage was gained. If it comes down to mm what difference did it make?

Also the fact that it's still a bloke chosing when to stop the frames and where to place the mouse invites more human error. It's fucked and needs changing
 
VAR fucked us, but there are too many of our players who do not truly care about the club. We will not finish top four.
This is the final season of the Poch Era.
I'm glad I lived through the nineties. I know I can handle a shit future.

And Wanyama got a yellow card within minutes anyway. Definitely a poor sub.
