Not too bothered - he's been overhyped massively by YouTube 'scouts' like Totti - and shown very little product tbf. I'd trust Poch on this one over some fanboi wankers on a football forum

He was benched the entire U19s tournament bar the first game (when he was also subbed) - this already tells you everything.
Piss off, you utter shameless troll
Poch saying he needs to improve physically????
The writing was on the wall as soon as he got tagged Mini Messi.

Hasn't Poch himself said that he regrets penning the "Mini Messi" moniker for this very reason? I seem to remember a interview where he said that.
I guess it depends on how it's read.
He said physical condition which doesn't necessarily mean stature. It could mean as Guido says, fitness, ability to press etc.
The only gripe I have with it is that Edwards has always been highly rated, so you'd think he'd have got the right coaching to be able to strengthen, build up and get his fitness in check. If that is the reason itself.
Is he still training with the first team?
True to some extent, but how many times did we face that same defence at WHL last season? I think all the home advantages of WHL (noisier crowd, closer to pitch, players feeling more at home, knowledge of sight lines and whatever else forms home advantage) were important in getting that first goal which forces the opposition to change tactics. Statistically, teams struggle when they change grounds, or play at a temporary different stadium, so it would be weird if we were not affected by that at all.
Agree.....forget the "curse".
Wembley is a problem because the oppo are setting up their in ways we are struggling to break down, and its a neutral ground that gives the away team as much advantage as us.
The number of our fans matters little when the atmosphere is poor (due to the crap stadium and the club making zero effort to house like minded fans together).
So Hoodoo aside, we still have a problem in that stadium
Not physically ready? What he needs to grow more or he just can't be arsed?
As I understand it was only laughably ridiculous when Wenger said it.
When we do, it's "pragmatic".
Difficult to argue with that. Top 4 seems to be the goal. Anything else is a bonus. Can't say I like it, but it is what it is.
Are you a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club or ENIC plc?
I read this as he's had injury problems and just isn't physically ready following his recovery to be competing at that level just yet...
But that doesn't sell papers or get clicks.
This. Every title is important. CL is obviously a bigger deal in the grander spectrum of things. But a title is a title and we are never "too big" for another title.
When people started calling me Mini-Rasiak, my career went to hell. If only they could call me Mini-Doherty
That list makes no sense because the EL gives you CL entry anyway, so surely EL must be third because you get CL + a trophy.
1. League title
2. CL
3. EL
4. FA Cup
5. Top four
6. League cup
IMO but can understand 5. and 6. being the other way around, and there's not much between them for me, I just don't like the thought of losing lots of league games as I think it would create a negative atmosphere around the club, as well as the other advantages top four brings.
