Rose was left at home in the summer with Aurier to discover new opportunities, if you don't think that its not ideal to rely on two player's in the Prem that in the summer were left out of the pre season squad for that reason then there is no help for you.
You can't replace 10+ goals and 15+ assists a season that easy, Eriksen needs dropping which is easy, can we replace him now? No chance, Toby is our best Centre Half and the issue with Jan means we lost both our best Centre halves if you don't play them or you play them and they crap the bed which has happened both ways so far this season.
And the part you ignore is on the other side there are other players he does not want.
Now you can try and say its easy but its obviously not and as I have said before what club has bombed one player for a season let alone two three or four? No one I can barely name a club thats won a power battle like that, if you can please offer it up.
We don't need a Dostoievski style response either or at least I don't
And sorry if you find it upsetting but neither of us know or could do as well as Poch in this situation, I can live with that reality, if you can't then thats on you
Both Rose and Aurier are performing fine, so whether or not they are wanted on voyage - they arent actually a problem right now, are they?
I have literally no complaint with their professionalism this season. So yes, maybe they move on soon - but until then its fine.
Lamela performed better against Leicester than Eriksen has in probably a year. Or we change shape and give Moura more of a run. There are options, Eriksen is far from irreplaceable.
As stated upthread, I dont have issue with Vertonghens performances either. Toby seems to be under performing, and we have Sanchez to come in. Again, hardly high drama...
I dont care about examples, I dont care about other clubs. It simple, Poch drops the hammer, uses those actually able to perform, the team is better off.
Poch plays politics, gets drawn into dramas and egos and upset - everything goes to brick.
I do not find it upsetting neither of us know what Poch knows, its a rather ridiculous position to take. Im simply pointing out that deferring any opinion to someone else because you assume they can do better doesnt actually mean they are doing better...
