Since Nov/Dec time Poch has certainly done enough to deserve respect. He & his coaches have found a team from lots of indifferent parts & with a little luck it's been reasonable.
What is a bigger worry is the lack of changeable tactics during a match & an unwillingness to change formation in key games. If they can't find a way to work 4231 into 451 or 442 when necessary, it will sadly end in yet another sacking.
If you consider Liverpool, they were having a shocking season & Bodgers then tinkers the formation & away they go. United did it to us Sunday....adapted & frankly we did not.
I like Poch. I honestly like his approach in terms of fitness & he has something about him. But a 7th place finish is not going to keep him in a Job if things start badly next season. And there is no escaping that from his "cup finals" left we have played 5 ; lost to the Italians ( badly ) Chelsea (frustrating) & Untied ( ineptitude) so something's not right. Although to counter balance Swansea & QPR were ok.
