Shit, don't come here and be totally level headed and make sense. It's not fair. I'm on a rant here.To be fair to him, he's very good at most aspects of the team. All the complaints I've had for him these last days are really the areas I want to see him improve as they are the obvious weaknesses to how he performed for us.
I want to see more holistic use of the squad, and strategy in getting more from the fringe players, having them involved/ready to play.
I want to see him show more flexibility tactically, more than just a good plan A.
I want to see a more ruthless edge to him (and consequently the team).
If he comes in and is in the right place, we'll hopefully see a dynamic and aggressive team dominating opposition every week, that we know will be hard to beat.

If course you are right. I'm exaggerating.
I just think it's a huge mistake bringing him back so soon. When the players that didn't back him is still here. Also I tend to remember the last year better than the years before. And in the last year he was playing terrible football.
Just to clarify, it is Poch’s return that I think has disaster written all over it, not the masturbating over my cornflakes. The latter is a tasty breakfast snack made a little soggy, but not a disaster.
mmI'm not suggesting me for any of the roles.
I think if Poch comes back, it depends on two things. If he’s coming back and Levy is thinking he will perform some miracle with the shite we got in this team right now then I’d rather not bother. Absolutely pointless. But, I can’t see Levy being this stupid. Surely he can see how bang average the vast majority of our players are. So, my hope is Pochettino is being bought back with reassurances. Reassurance of a rebuild like in his previous tenure. Reassurances of Harry staying for at least 1 more season. If this is it, then I’m happy for Pochettino returning
What's the point of a rebuild if Poch has his favourites.Major difference between Poch money and Conte. Poch is looking for a rebuild, Conte wants £200m spent this summer.
That's my worry.What's the point of a rebuild if Poch has his favourites.
The guy could have Messi on the bench and still decide to play Sissoko in attack.
Is this the 48hr klaxon?I haven’t been here for ages. But my brother works for the Guardian and the sports team have briefed told that Poch is done and to announce it before the 2nd June. I don’t know why the date is important.
He told me this about 8:00 this evening.
....why are we NOT allowed OUR FAIRYTALE? Is it in the Football League rulebook?I love him like a brother and nearly masturbated all over my cornflakes when I first heard this rumour, but when I think a bit more about it, it has disaster written all over it - not fairytale.
He wanted to shift quite a few player’s supposedly but Baldy overcooked it as usualThat's my worry.
Worked with, and favoured, Winks, Sissoko etc. The bond in the squad was very good.
So will Poch have the strength of character to get rid of "his" players.
Or will we have a season of Poch's Pals.
