Sandy, We haven't seen Lo Celso, NDombele, Sessingnon on the pitch.
Obviously our midfield was shiiite. Those guys were bought to strengthen it.
And Poch can't play them because they're all injured.
Start criticizing him when he has a full roster and still loses.

If you get your change of manager, and the new guy continues to lose ... what tune will you play then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ted, I get he cannot play injured players, but he is costing us points by not playing players that are not injured. He could have played Eriksen and Vertonghen against Newcastle. Aurier against Arsenal. He really is not doing himself any favours with his weird team selections.

All the managers before him since 1991 have never won the fa cup
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well neither has Poch, so what's your point. At least some managers before him won a trophy with poor teams, Poch hasn't won a bean with good players.

What about the spurs who were 3 0 up against united and lost 3 5? And 3 0 up against 10 men city and lost 3 4?

Spurs have always been softer than they are today in most posters on heres lifetimes. Poch is clearly getting frustrated that the players are no longer playing to his philosophy but he isnt one to criticise his players.

Agree the team selections up till yesterday have been odd......but I blame Levy for that.
Now all time windows are closed, lets see what happens.
I do not think you will get a better manager while Levy is around.

Ted, please stop using the word "roster" in your posts

Pretty damned clear what he meant. Levy was telling him he couldn't choose players who might be leaving over those who were not.
Consequently he could not choose the best team from players still on the roster, since some of the best ones might depart.
Vertonghen didn't start two games he should have.
Similarly Eriksen was on the bench for Villa.
How frustrating can that be for a manager who gets flack when the team doesn't perform well?
Couple that with the Dybala debacle.
Perfectly understandable comment

this is one of those 1+1=3 comments

When was Verts ever leaving?

Ted, Levy doesn't pick the team, Poch does, 100 per cent on his shoulders if he chooses to leave our best players on the bench.
