I have read the book. One comment that springs to mind is the faith Poch puts in his XI players and his coaching strategy. Any sub will disrupt the team/shape so I guess it's not something he eagerly looks to do.

or what? We disappear? Cease to exist?
Poch certainly looks to play in a particular style, an attack-orientated pressing game which most of the time is successful. I think he can be a bit slow to change that, and only seems to do this infrequently. When Poch has changed the team's shape we've had mixed results but I'd like to see a slightly more proactive approach when faced with opposition manager's tactical changes. It's IMHO one of the few weaknesses in our coaching at the moment - squad morale, for instance, seems very good.
Oh dear.
yes it also sounds like they focus on 1-2 strategies before the game, moving away from this is likely to cause confusion and gaps...
The good thing about our drills is how well the players know the system
However
The problem with the drill is the players inability to move away from the system
In games like this I feel it's going to come down to an individual piece of brilliance, often this has been Kane, CE, or Sonny... tonight they didn't perform. Would help to have a few more game changers but they cost cash.
Dembele is frustrating me, however brilliant he is, it's a worry when a commentator makes a gag about not worrying about him shooting... he's predictable, ball along the floor and never shoots. He has the ability to win the game single handed by dribbling through a defence, why is he not pushing on and taking more shots?
Happy to put this out there for posterity - results and performances have not been the best over the past two or three weeks, but I'm backing the current leadership team 100%.
And the Europa League/back into obscurity?
Him taking the club to 3rd/2nd place finishes was facilitated primary by the Manc clubs hibernating - even in those two seasons, Pochettino had a better squad than those who finished above him.
The shambolic tactical approach against City in both games this season, and the awful game management vs Juve underlined how one-dimensional he is as a coach; the club and this squad deserves better.
Look what Simeone has done with Atleti up again two genuine European superpowers in Spain and in Europe - he’d create a dynasty here.
Even with the current squad, it’d be perfect for his 4-2-2-2/4-4-2 - Wanyama and Winks central, Dele and Eriksen either side/ahead. with Son and Kane up front. He’d do away with that moronic high line too.

Coming to crunch time in the season.....last two games I don’t think Poch has been bold enough.
For us to turn that corner we need him to become that manager who can turn these games into something that doesn’t depend on a bit of luck or a last minute penalty etc.
So far he has struggled to do that. Sounds odd considering his great management but it is a weakness.
There are times we need to do something drastic.
Llorente 85th minute or like for like among the AMs is not that.

Fuck off with shite, Gooner.
How is wanting the club to make the next step and win the trophies that the squad and general project deserve indicative of a Gooner? They would love seeing Pochettino being the nearly man for the next 5 years.
This club is a great coach away from a successful dynasty.
The team above us are going to be even stronger next season, while we’ll likely be weaker if we sell Alderweireld - Pochettino has had 3 years of having the best first 11 in the league and has won fuck all; it’s not going to get any better under him.
I remember when Jol wasn't good enough so we got Ramos in.
I'm happy being a "nearly" team TBH, its better than being a "nearly relegated" team.
We can always go backwards. In Poch we trust.
HE'S MAGIC, YOU KNOOWWWWW, MAURICIO POCHETTINOOOOOO
Anyone who is willing to start over again now is a moron. You do realise that this situation is down to him not in spite of him don’t you?
Fucking hell
Fucking hell
utter nonsense.
you've selected a handful of games to fit in with your thin argument. Bad management of the juve game?- we had 20 minutes of shitness over the 180 and were punished by an excellent, seasoned team. We lost 2 times againt City who have been unplayable for most of the season. Only Liverpool have their number and remember they've spent heavily to get there. (sala, firmono and mane cost about 100 mill)
You neglect how Poch has turned our players and team into one of the best, that we've maintained our form despite playing 38 away league games.
I don't why I'm typing this you're a cunt.
