Yep, we are back to being average. No ifs or buts. We have nothing in my opinion.
I mean, we would have done better if Kane, son, Bergwijn, and Sanchez were available. Probably Davies too tbh. Liverpool are practically full strength and apart from their keeper, haven't really had any major injuries all season. Yeah they're definitely way better than us anyway, but we are properly cooked right now with injuries.

We are cooked right now because our mentality is wretched.

When Henderson was out, they scraped a victory v West Ham, lost v Watford, lost v Atletico and lost v Chelsea. But, appearently, we're supposed to work wonders without Kane and Son...
 
And yet 2 years ago Pochettino was the better manager in posters' eyes.

So laughable.
He's an excellent manager but his Dortmund was in a worse state than Poch's Spurs. BOTH had exactly the same scenario to deal with, intense football & intense training with the same voice to the same players.

Cheaper to ditch the manger than the entire team (or is it?).

Another difference is that BVB team still had significant talent throughout, with decent contracts and was underperforming. Our situation has the worst performers very close to being out of contract, crocked, or below the needed standard at their best. they changed to a manager of similar philosophy and we changed to a toxic dinosaur of antithetical philosophy. One club bounced right back and it is yet to be seen what the other does.

It's this bit which is key: "they changed to a manager of similar philosophy".

Although deep down I know they would take him back tomorrow. They didn't fight to keep him at all and that's with them selling their top talent almost every year, that's to speak to the fact that they did have a turnover of players that can/should keep the squad fresh.

Actually, despite their position, they were in nowhere near as bad a shape, I watched a few of their games that season and they were actually playing pretty well, they were incredibly unlucky and eventually it all clicked again and they finished 7th and this was the season they lost Lewandowski as well.

Under Poch things started going down hill in 17-18 and just kept going, we got worse and worse. And Klopp lost far more important players - Sahin, Kagawa, Perisic, Gotze, Lewandowski - and kept the team playing well throughout. Pochettino just lost a grip of things completely, making daft selections that meant he couldn't play the football he wanted, we were bad.

IIRC didn't he resign because he felt they needed another voice? If so, then perhaps that is why zorc and Watzke were ok with it. And yes it seems they would take him back immediately.

something we severely lack. Players safe in their position and hearing the same voice that can't bench them if he tried. .
