A Big part of the managers role is to get the best out of his players. If so many are under performing, then surely the manager is failing in his job..?

We've failed in the league cup and the champions league so far this season and its only November.
Yet, we were title contenders 6 months ago.
The fact we've failed in the Champions League should tell you all you need to know about the progression we've made under Poch.
With the youngest squad in the League no less.
When did our fanbase become so entitled?
You want to call for the sacking of a manager unbeaten in the League? Sack him and do what?
I'll refer you and the rest of your jolly crew to a post I researched in the Monaco thread...
No we weren't, we were well out of the title race by May time.
I'm comparing this champions league campaign with our most recent one, this one was shambolic and embarrassing.
I could have stomached it had we gone out fighting but we've been diabolical in every game, that's down to one man.... One man who is putting the blame on everyone but himself.
Why did Arcy get binned ?
Ok, captain pedantry. 7 months ago.
Aaah yes, I could have guessed this would go back to some adoration of Redknapp. Read what I posted and then tell me exactly why you think we'd be any different to all the English clubs, bar one, that have gone before us?
Also, answer the question.
Sack him and do what?...Let me guess...
Redknapp?
Comparing the two campaigns you are is shambolic and embarrassing. Completely different set of players, with different experience and a different manager, 6 years ago. The whole structure of the club was different.
Imagine going unbeaten for the first ¹² games of the season and being accused of failing when you manage Tottenham Hotspur. Some of you make me die based on our resources we should probably be battling for 6th with Everton.
Oh and care to adjust your quoted post to show how teams fared in their first 3 attempts? You know just to see whether its worth bothering.
One a tactical dinousaur and the other a supposed genius?
Of course, no actual response so resort to sarcasm.
So that's a no to answering the question? Or addressing any of the points raised?
You piss and moan like a little girl about failure in the League Cup and Champions League yet idolise Redknapp who won nothing with us either.
The hypocrisy of you melters is phenomenal. The match thread full of captain hindsights suggesting our summer transfer window was a fuck up when none of you said anything at the time.
Laughable.
Again, we are unbeaten in the League and you're suggesting a manager change?
Think about that.
You can't compare this Champions League campaign to the last one, that was 6 years ago. None of that squad or coaching staff are still at the club. We have to look at this objectively and we have a manager who is experiencing his first time in the CL, along with most of our young squad. They are still very much in the learning curve, to write them all off would be a bit silly. They are always going to make mistakes, but Pochettino and the players need to learn from this.
Aside from the city result (when they were in the middle of a slump) we've beaten no one of note...
So i'd rather we had a couple of defeats and have won a couple more games or is the idea of getting more points not that important?
If someone is comparing our champions league campaigns with other sides over a 20 year period then i think its fair to compare the same teams over a 6 year period.
