The more I rewatch the games the more it feels that Poch has been found out. He never was a tactical mastermind, but it looks like his mojo players like Kane Son Dele kept his seasons alive and working. There is work ethic, there is fitness and there is press. But all of these depends on a team that is willing to put in 100% in every scenario. Both at Southampton and here his tactics needed those wonder players and the wide players that made the team tick. None of this is happening. It like watching the gooners under Wenger doing those retarded short passes and never crossing long. Everybody knew it was outdated but they kept doing it.
We were 1 goal down and we keep the ball at Toby and Vert to find the pass.....
Opposition teams literally ignore Aurier and dont even track back for him, thats how slow he is on the ball when he gets it. Best thing that can happen is a lucky cross.
Feels like he got lucky and inhereted and team that peaked with Kane Son Eriksen Toby Verts Dele Dembele. Nothing that we bought under him came to fruition. So many you players. So many academy players that didnt even get a chance to properly develop. We buy these 'young prospects' and watch the grow up on the bench.
We spent big money on players that will warm the bench for a season.
