Pochettino needs to quickly arrest a worrying trend that's for sure. Grabbing late victories, scraping top 4 and the glory of a CL final lasts only so long.
I always say poor runs start with home losses.
Hmmmmmm...

I honestly can’t remember when I last really enjoyed watching us play.
Sure there’s been enjoyable moments (City and Ajax) but even those victories came after we’d been battered for each second leg. I’ve still no idea how we got through those rounds intact. But I do believe those two leg victories papered over a huge number of cracks.
I’d love us to win a trophy, even if we play shitty football to win it. And if we can’t win, at least play with a bit of panache. This boring going a goal down, slow motion bullshit is getting severely on my tits.
I’m coming round to the idea of Mourinho. He’ll still have a hunger in him to go out as a success. I’m now convinced we’d have something in the cabinet if he were brought in.

We’ve just spent £130 million in one window and have a team packed full of stars - most managers would kill to have what we do.
And Klopp wouldn’t go a 10th place Liverpool they said
The poor squad thing and signings has imploded on itself.
Those saying it don’t even believe it now
Levy and Mourinho.
A marriage made in heaven
Yeah imagine winning the EL and Carabou in the same season
I'm afraid Poch for some reason simply does not react quickly enough if his initial tactics are obviously failing to work. He seems unable to accept what is clearly unfolding in front of his eyes. It's as if he inwardly regards it as failure on his part so lets it drag on hoping for a recovery. Plan A always lasts for at least one hour.
We can all criticise and say what we would do in his situation but one thing I know for sure. The point at which to make a tactical team change during that match was undoubtedly half time. Why continue with the same set up for another 15 minutes ?. Steve Bruce must have been delighted to see the same eleven run out onto the pitch second half.
My single most frustration with Poch has always been this weakness. I cannot recall the last time he made a half time substitution that was not forced upon him by injury. Should anyone actually have that statistic I would love to know when it was.

Levy isn’t a marriage for any manager as he doesn’t bend over and touch his toes when the manager whimpers. And rightfully so.Levy and Mourinho.

Any manager that comes into any top job just spunks money against the wall. They all do it. We can’t spend as much as the others yet, so need to do things differently.
Fuck knows how. If I knew that, I’d be a chairman myself.
That would be immense.
But can you seriously see Jose working for Levy?
I’d give my favourite bollock.
The right one. Not a massive fan of lefty. He’s weird.
We've been a slow starting team for way too long.
Why isn't the team ready from kickoff?
Why do we have the slowest build-up for teams who park the bus against us.
These are things that are consistent with Poch.
Looks like we had ZERO plan for today's match. We couldn't have moved the ball any slower
weve spent more than Liverpool (net) in the last 5 years. depite the boring cunts desperate attempts to blame everything short of climate change on Levy, Pochettino has been given plenty of tools to do the job.
in the time 5 he's been in charge hes reached two cup finals and a succession of semi finals. he's done the job as well as he can.
argue amongst yourselves at to whether thats enough. Ill judge it at the end of the season

Looks like the poll is vindicating you anyway mate. Although I voted the other way of course.
Seems to be dragging some latent Pochettino critics out of the woodwork!
He has a history of playing basic football but winning. I’d take the trophies he’s won in exchange for pretty football.
We look so badly coached. The man came here with a philosophy, but there is little evidence of it now. He's been here 5 years and still not coached us how to pass and move.
Pep and Klippity have raised the bar so high, it's not even funny.

It won't be him and neither would I want that as he would represent for our club the wrong things.
It's just that Pochettino has had our best players in years. Taken them so far but no further.
It's just a huge question mark at present.
