I agree the subs at the end just weaken us further where we were already vulnerable. Ironically it was Bayern who were missing a man in midfield. THey bought on Thaigo at HT. Then we were the team missing a man in the middle. Easy to sit here afterwards and say Poch shouldn't have subbed Winks for Lamela, when we did look capable of getting more goals.
Poch has never been masterful at changing things during the game. Or seeing things clearly. He's better post-game, where maybe a team dissects the performance. And he usually reacts in the right way.
I have to disagree. I think he used to be nice and flexible and it would work: matching Chelsea's back five during the unbeaten WHL season and winning a tight game; using Dier's flexibility to give us on field options.
Now i think its a shambles and he's learning nothing from each poor performance and defeat. In fact, his entrenching himself further and further and stubbornly refusing to correct glaring bad decisions. Even the players he selects are questionable.
