Poch's main limitation at the time was his relative inability to think on his feet during a game and make tactical changes.
Like when Juventus turned us over with a very clever substitution late on.
I think Poch's substitutions were getting too obvious in both the timing of them and who was coming off and on. I also found the view of him and his assistants with their tablets infront of them all the time a wee bit depressing - yes big data stuff matters but I think during the game a manager should trust his instincts.
But that stuff comes with time - life is a journey after all. On all other levels Poch is a world-class manager, and he is the best in the world in developing talent.
