I think we would all do well to remember who is responsible for the current bad form and who isn't:

Responsible:

The players
Levy
The Stadium
The weather
The fans
The grass
The refs
The linesmen
The other teams
The air
My mate's dog Franco
Jeremy Corbyn
The Queen
Tim Sherwood
Game of Thrones Season 8

Not responsible in any way:

Poch

I always suspected that dog Franco had a paw in this 😎
 
I think Poch has done enough to see out at least the end of the season. We can’t become a club who changes managers every few months like Man Ure have suffered from. I am convinced Poch will get it right
 
Only one person constantly picking bad apples and below standard players every week.

Aint Levy, Aint Doris, aint us, aint the media, aint the other players.

Don’t forget Ndombele was on the bench because we didn’t sign Martial 20 months ago

Also
Don't forget Levy sold Tripps and Llorente without replacing them.
Don't forget Levy cashed on Dembele Jan 2018 without replacing him.
Don't forget Levy bought Njie, Nkoudo and Vincent and sold them for loss, costing the club millions and reducing TW budgets.

Trippier said the manager “wouldn't give him a yes or no so you get the idea”
So he left for 23M. Probably worth 60M already....cashed in indeed.
Poch said he was happy with KWP and Aurier.
KWP is in the bin. Aurier was also in the bin, but now he’s first choice after going with Sanchez TWICE at RB.
How many RBs does a club need?

Llorente was released after playing 2000 minutes in 2 years. That’s about 20 games in 100.
He didn’t even get minutes when we were winning by 3 or 4 goals. Kane’s golden boot came first. He cost 15M

He also threw Janssen in the bin. 22M

37M of back up strikers thrown down the drain by Poch. Why should Levy buy a back up striker when Poch doesn’t want one.

Dembele had played in 12 games out of 33 when sold. He had played 90 minutes twice. He went for 10M....that’s Pochs wages this year sorted then.
We signed Ndombele 5 months later for a club record 64M.
That’s his replacement.

Njie, Nkoudou and Janssen were thrown in the bin by Poch. You actually think we could have made a profit on players that played 4 minutes in two years?

When Sessengon gets fit, he’ll also be thrown in the bin and the manager will continue to play Rose who he tried to sell to Watford.

Then you can blame Levy for that too.

This is a good argument.

It’s a shit myopic one too. This board declared Trippier as shit before he left,

None of the others were cried over before he left, there’s been poor recruitment at RB (Pereira/Aurier).

n’Jie, N’Koudou, Jansen have hardly proved him wrong have they???

Meanwhile others want to bring in the guy who let go of Kevin De Bruyne, Mo Salah And Romelu Lukaku!

Poch wanted Tripps sold but he was expecting a replacement. We know from last season Poch didnt trust any of the other RBs. You also remember in the summer Poch said he doesn't know or involved in transfers, he actually meant Levy is not buying what he wants. The bottom line is we all know Poch was not happy with Tripps, KWP or Aurier and he wanted an upgrade but he ended up with Aurier.
Poch is not involved in buying or selling, Levy undersold Tripps and all the media said it at the time.

Llorente played a very big part last season, we miss him badly. He did a great job, super sub providing assists and goals. He played the cup games. Kane back up. He was the only player we had who had experience in winning trophies. Who took us to the CL final! Any PL club needs a back up striker. Son, Lucas are not strikers. Google and see where Llorente is now.

Janssen was crap and everyone saw that. Poch gave him chance after chance. So were Njie and Nkoudo. Google and see where these 3 players are now.

Dembele was playing until he was sold, may be he was injured at the time. 60 mins of Dembele is good enough for Spurs when the alternatives are'nt good enough and even worse he was not replaced. May be that is reason why the poor run since Jan 2019!

Trust Levy, he will dither and haggle for 12 months, then he will crawl and pay the original asking price but an injured Sessignon. Joke of a chairman.

Please don't be biased, you are becoming a Levy fangirl.
