I remember we lost 6 nil to city under AVB. Players were gone. Even vertonghen made a bad mistake for one of their goals. That game hurt.Yeah, he seems to me a guy who has a very strong grasp on tactics and is very intelligent, but in terms of coaching I don't see the spark. Pochettino is probably less tactically inclined but he has said spark, he inspires passion from his players.
We were a dead fish in AVB's second season. The game that got him sacked (5-0 vs Liverpool) we had zero shots on target, at home. Why would supporters be patient with that in a managers second season? He lost Bale and that was it. He fucking sucked.
