I wonder if part of him feels that the ceiling has been reached for this group of players, that he can't get more out of them. So he won't win anything. Or he might feel that the players themselves think it. Today's game could be a watershed moment.

Now that has me worried.
Hopefully just a language issue.

Think he got schooled today by Mourinho.
Love Poch and for where we are he is perfect, but I would like him to put more pressure on refs and the officials. Because Man U should have been down to ten men today we need to put more pressure on refs so that the decisions dont always go against us.
We were second best today and I dont blame the refs for the result but we need to put those little margins in our favour.

With these some of comments from Poch, I try to think of the Spanish equivalent given I used to be verging on being fluent in that language and then consider whether its a translation thing. Here it might be....as saying something like 'otras personas' would be a much more long-term meaning, rather than 'another', which sounds like he's leaving tomorrow. I hope so anyway!

That is what I thought, he does not know how to get us to the next step without massive money. I think Alderweld would have made a difference but he is going for the money so we need to replace him with more experience.
Really it is the same problem we have had for 10 years, how do you build a team. When we had Carrick, Berbatov, Bale doing well we lose them because we cant build a team.
I think maybe in 4 or 5 years time when the stadium has got us able to pay bigger wages we might be better.
Think Poch has not blooded young players as much this season as in past seasons which means to me he is going after winning stuff. But if we had played w-p instead of Aurier and Onomah instead of Sissoko we would have had 50m in the bank and saved massive wages to put to an actual world class player.
We need to use our money more carefully.

Does a formation change make people grow balls and hunger?
This team has shown it can beat anyone until it’s a knock out game or a crunch game
What it hasn’t shown now for a bloody long time is a hunger and balls for a game that matters. They lack the desire when it matters
Doesnt change balls, but if you look at Utd today in the second half, or generally a 4-3-3, its more solid. Maybe we need to learn from that?
4-3-3 is harder though now with Trippier and Davies as wing backs, rather than Walker and Rose, as a lot of wide play has gone away

Mark Falco
Their less wing backs than rose and walker
The formation for me doesn’t make players sort out their heads
Thats my point. 4-3-3 is more secure, but without proper wing-backs it can become quite defensive.
GHod knows what the answer is...tonight it all seems really bleak and like we really need the summer to arrive asap, after a top 4 finish somehow achieved, and then a couple names to arrive to freshen things up

Get in some players who have won something here
I don’t think David’s was a great player for us but people think he made the players do/think different
If we want to win things we have to get someone in to tell us how

Serge Aurier
He’s one of our own Pochettino he’s brick and he’s not one of our own
Perhaps you're right. Think we need the dust to settle and as I've said elsewhere, a smaller number of high quality signings things summer rather than vice versa.
It all feels rubbish this evening though and am praying, rathern than expecting, we finish top 4
Bedfordspurs
Mark Falco
We will get top 4 IMO
May limp over the line but fully expect it to happen
But we have to do something this summer we haven’t done since Klinmasnn.. but a genuine world recognised winner
I hope you're right.
Problem with this summer is that before it all felt additive; now it feels like we absolutely need some decent activity to keep people around

Mark Falco
It’s critical this time
Sometimes you can get away with it but not with the WC, new stadium and all the changes going on at our competitors
I worry about keep Eriksen; he's the heart-beat of the team. We can replace Toby, and Rose,....Eriksen is harder
And then, beyond retaining people, we need to improve as well
Bedfordspurs
Mark Falco
We have at least one more season with eriksen IMO
The only club for him is Barca and they have to work out how to fit in Coiutinho so that helps us for now
He is a genius and turns up 9 time out of 10... that’s a player that is irreplaceable
