The sad reality is that to me it feels very much like this side has come full circle from when Poch first came. The defence was awful back then and players needed moving on in order to improve the team. Players like Soldado, Adebayor, Dawson, Kaboul, Paulinho, Chiriches, Capoue. We're now essentially back where we started with an incompetent defence and as long a list of players needing to be moved on for us to improve. How have we gone from having the 2 best first choice full backs in the league a few seasons ago to the worst? This was bitterly contrasted to by the quality of Liverpool's full backs.
The negligence, naivety and failure of the board during this phase means that in all likelihood we'll be one of the best teams in the league that never won anything, and are left with so much repair work to do in this transitional period that it'll take a few years again just to get back to those sorts of levels, and that's with the optimistic view that we'll actually do what is required to get there.
Obviously Poch has a part to play in the performance levels but I'll be behind him until we move on the players that he wanted to move on last summer. Poor selections or not, he is owed the opportunity to see if he can deliver when the bad eggs are gone and the new players are bedded in.
We've come full circle

How long till Lo Celso gets a start. Eriksen needs to be flushed down the toilet.

We don't know what happens behind the scenes (well, we will when the doc airs) but he's far too loyal to some players. Lamela has to be pi55ed to be replaced by Eriksen after his performance mid week.

Changing one full back ain't going to make the slightest difference.
