Devon and Sandy still desperately trying to flog that dead horse.

Truth is, Ange is one of the worst managers this club has ever had, a really shockingly bad appointment.

If Poch had anything about him, he would be managing a club, instead of managing a national team. His stock has fallen alot.

He did well at Chelsea, especially in that second half of the season. They looked a lot better than what Maresca has them playing
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was far too negative the first half of the year. He finally learnt that in-game management is important and substitutions even more important

Poch was also instrumental in all the injuries we had as well..through overstringent training

Do you have an explanation for the previous two years where we picked up just as many injuries?

While we're at it, for those that have decided it's all Ange's fault, how come half the Spurs squad wasn't injured last season?

People always blame the manager and the medical team for injuries, without ever having any evidence to support the claim (and ignoring that medical teams deal with recovery not conditioning).

It's almost as if there can be multiple different reasons for different things happening to different people at different times in different circumstances

Football fans use medical team as a blanket term. It's like when people say x manager does this & that wrong, they're referring to either his whole team or specific members of it even if they don't realize it. Everyone does it.

People had serious issues with this when it came to Southgate. It wasn't him they were actually annoyed with (going by the major criticisms), it was Steve Holland

Case in point Sheriff, he's not actually having a go at Pochettino there. He's swinging at Jesus Perez.

Just makes conversations flow better if you use the manager's name

Devil, many literally just mean the medical staff. They don’t seem to actually understand what they do. And most people are absolutely clueless about injuries, and how many won’t ever fully recover when an athlete is either genetically predisposed and, or, has punished their bodies like footballers have.
