I have to say taking everything into account I have been really impressed with Poch this season, but I appreciate we are now in the business end of the season. I was initially very sceptical of this appointment and I could only see a short term reign where Levy pulls the trigger 18/24 months down the line. I am now much more hopeful of continuity and I am much more hopeful we can build slowly with Poch and keep getting stronger.
His conduct and man-management seems impeccable.....I wish he would have started playing Kane earlier in the epl than he did....but in general we have many issues to resolve in our squad in terms of players we want off the books....he seems to be dealing with this in the right way...
Also been impressed by how the squad has been rotated and his use of substitutions in games...the initial fears of 'he could never turn a game around for Southampton' seem to have been dispelled as we have had comeback wins......Villa, Hull.
As a squad it seems like everyone has had a chance this season......even those who have not impressed this season can not use lack of playing time as an excuse...This summer will be major imo IF we can get rid of unwanted players and their hefty wages....
We need the likes of Disco Benny, Kaboul, Ade, off our wage bill....we need answers as to what to do with Tom Carrol, Lewis Holtby Soldado, Vlad & Capoue.
Looking at next season we can feel a little positive I think with the young talent at our Club.........Rose, Davies, Walker, Yedlin, Dier, Mason, Bentaleb, Eriksen Townsend, Lamela, Kane.....I think we will benefit by allowing these players to form a bond and to develop together.....Key will be keeping our world class goalkeeper.
If we can cut out the wastage and make decent signings I can only see us getting better and better under poch.
