Don't know about the first, but I agree that corners are an indicator of attacking pressure. We were just terrible. Let's not beat each other up over this.

Thought the same in his post-match interview about Liverpool.
Was asked if we left too much space in behind/played too high a line.
He laughs it off and says no, we needed to press more and be even higher up the pitch.
Serious worries imo. Seems out of touch.
When I saw the line up I was expecting it to be a walk in the park.... 4-5 nil..... how fucking wrong was I!!!the problem is the selection we had we wanted to win, and taking it serious which makes it harder to stomach, Really starting to regret goading the gooners at work now!
Poch should have the players up for the match and have his tactic's right, its not hard to think how these teams will play against us, and if you have the wrong tactics have a plan B & C to change the way we play, its called coachingits a double bluff from Poch, we all know he hates the cups really, but if he plays the strongest team and we don't win, it's not his fault...
He won't do this in public, it's not his style. He will say it in private.
On the bright side

lost £400 on this.

Well we haven't been up till now, that there is no doubt, but that doesn't mean we won't put in a performance against these..
I have a feeling we'll smash these into the ground 4-0..
There, someone has to be optimistic..
On the bright side
Never, ever bet on Tottenham.
He must have been watching a different game than I was

With all due respect who gives a flying fuck about the captaincy after a performance like that.

It's all to do with balance.
We use our full backs for width. The left one goes the width goes. You then have the midfielder who is usually moving from left to right stuck out on the left to supply the width.
That leaves us outnumbered.
The CB pairing has always been left and right with Poch but he seems to have lost confidence in Wimmer after the city fiasco.
thatbleaves us un balanced there.
I siad before when we were on a high that there would be a blip, all teams invariably have them, and I wondered how quick it would be before Poch was slated.
Look like it's come when we have had to utilise the squad.
For fucks sake Gent are going to play like they have be never played before, this is massive for them. It wasn't going to be easy.
Look at thier reactions. This is football , it happens. They made changes, we had 4 to our usual starting line up.
We weren't fucking terrible.
Obviously a mental thing where the players who have had horror moments have the thoughts lingering. We start too nervously and unsure like we are scared of making mistakes. There's a false coolness on the ball at the back,it looks fragile.
We are far from a great squad. Remember that.
Like last year Miss a couple of key players.
Hopefully recruitment is better than under Mitchell this summer.
I still think Wimmer is ok, but I don't rate Davies.
I don't like Dier at CB.
Sissoko is looking like a misfit. He isn't right for this team.
Be disappointed but be realistic. Dele is far from Lionel Messi. This is his 2nd season at the top ffs.
The good players have lost their mojo, some are injured and some are not good enough.
Together through the bad times as well as the good. We ain't Woolwich

Me: Hmm, seems like we've only won 5 of out past 18-19 away games. That's not very goo-
Goat: £400 ON AWAY WIN!!
:clintonohshit:
A week to file under experience ManU get an undeserved free kick score from the flukiest of deflections and the ref bottles a penalty call against them as Poch says that's football with a more in tune ref tonight and had Kane's shot gone the right side of the post we'd be already looking up our opponents for the next round no matter how rubbish we were tonight
