If he doesn’t admit it, he doesn’t have to explain anything.
His press conferences are annoying. He veers from effusive praise to unnecessary criticism. When a manager is calling out the commitment of players, you have a problem.

But if people can see there's a problem, he'll get shit for not admitting it...
Especially as it clearly didn’t work in the NLD
He was like a fish out of water
Lessons should have been learned then
Throwing the players under the bus now. I don't think they are listening to him anymore.
Yes, fair enough. But I think he can ignore that noise and shrug it off.
I don't like managers setting themselves up against the players. It's a battle that benefits no one and rarely ends well.
But here's the problem.
Jan looks all over the place. People are letting a clean sheet against a very poor Palace team cloud the fact he was shocking against Woolwich and worse against Olympiacos. Add to this the fact that Toby and Dav can't play together (I've got into this many times, Toby is a problem not because of his physical defending, but his lack of leadership, reaction and general decision making), there seems to be a culture of ball watching developing in our defence, and the defence and midfield seemingly doing their own thing rather than working as a unit.
Getting to the point where I feel soon we´ll either need a new squad or a new manager.....
Sorry Poch but I dont see our problems going away with new players. Its beyond signings now

DOF?
And Poch ‘persuaded’ to work with it as, after all, he’s said that signings are nothing to do with him
You could be right. Early days in the season but there's a real feeling of malaise with too many players in a comfort zone. Thought we'd turned a corner after Palace but they reverted back to type last night. Hmmm...
Listening to Talkshite last night with Jason Cunty saying that we’re the ‘nearly ‘ team
Twat
Can't stand that fat cunt. Shit player who should never have played for us.
Doubt we are even that now. The nearly team was the great side which got 86 points in the league a few years ago. Since then we have regressed.
He´s still right though
But it's true.
Maybe why it is so hurtful.
And maybe why it needs changing.
Difficult times.
The scoreline really flattered us. We only had 5 shots on target, an xG of 1.05 (we managed 1.26 against Newcastle). First goal came from a long ball over the top, second goal was an OG, third and fourth were from counter-attacks where Palace had overcommitted.
He lost his mojo, can't see that promising manager from the first years now, he's a poor tactician with a poor decision making, can't motivate the players, can't fix the teams problems, has his favourits and apparently have given up his philosophy. But what is worse, he seems unable to learn with his mistakes.
