In old town Faro. Flying back after a week tonight. Currently nursing my 5th beer. Going to order a bottle of red after reading about our subs today.
ahh Levy subbed off Lamela gotcha
Bringing on someone Wanyama who had 0 minutes this season is a farce. Was at fault for the second goal and got booked within 10 minutes, how the hell he's ahead of Dier and Skipp I don't know.
Same old Poch though, soon as the game starts he has no impact on the game, shows it game after game.

We've scored 2+ goals almost every game this season (including today essentially). Finishing isn't the problem right now.
Poch is a very odd manager tbh.
Wants rid of Rose in the summer and makes him the undisputed first choice now (which he should be)
Wants rid of Wanyama and now hes mysteriously ahead of Dier and Skipp in the pecking order.
It's just so extreme and baffling.

i wonder when the happy clappers will start worrying, no away wins since January, shelling goals like peas, the likes of Jan, Toby,Dele and Eriksen absolute shadows of what they used to be and a manager who can shout and scream and he still gets nothing out of them.
Leicester will finish above us this year and we will still have happy clappers on here having a go at the fans who speak up
we need some new energy, the manager has to go

Fucking bollocks ... we deserved the win ... just not our day ...
Performance was not as bad as some make out. We looked good going forward, but were a bit wasteful. Kane had a couple of decent chances, not easy but usually I would expect one to go in. Son had the best chance and maybe should have scored. Lamela's energy caused them problems. Terrible in defence. Poch made some bad tactical decisions
The VAR decision was a disgrace (ruling out our goal) . It was not decided by science or facts but a human deciding where a line should be drawn. There are too many variables when it is that close: the fact that video is a set of pictures, when exactly the ball was touched, and where the line is drawn
Not least when Skipp was absolutely fantastic in pre-season.
Pochettino is running short of time. No doubt.
He really is.
It is becoming inevitable and seemingly no matter what we do it isnt enough.
By a country mile his hardest period since he's been with us. Come through it and he will be very strong.
It's not about players or even substitutions because that is easy excuses to suit the result but sentiment.
You knew at 1 each that we would not win. Or that's how I felt.
And those little decisions, such as with Aurier are the little things that become big career defining moments.

That was my attitude today, the same as the 90s, expect nothing and that's the way going to be from now on.
For years we were focused solely on player progression
During that time we didn’t realize our manager never improved.
In game tactics and subs are still just as shit as day 1.
160 on 3 players, 2 of which cannot play.
Pochettino cannot be blameless, but by Christ our recruitment team most certainly can't either. They've been utterly diabolical.
I am going to nail my bollocks to the mast and say that I think we need a change of manager, I don't think Pochs heart is in it anymore, I think he is making decisions which are actively harming us in terms of results now and I also think that when you combine that with his consistent complaining to the press it just doesn't look good for us at all.
I am not sure who will be better as a manager, simone maybe? More importantly, who will work with Levy because he's a fucking nightmare of a chairman who has clearly no short term interest in winning a trophy at this club (I will be fucking 90 at this rate before we win something because of his vision of "long term sustainability")

Anyone laying the blame anywhere but a Poch's door is a blithering idiot.
I love the man, but that was fucking disgraceful management.
