If he doesn’t want clumsy defenders he shouldn’t have brought Sanchez and Aurier to the club. @Amadaeus
Nor should he play Ndombele in a position where he’s basically forced to cover as a defensive midfielder, or continue to play Rose when he’s been a calamity for us nearly every week.
But he did do all that. And he did choose to start Alli who was (predictably) a total passenger. And the diamond did leave our midfield exhausted by the end trying to cover for our shite full backs, with our three midfielders pulled all over the place. The same shit happened against Leicester.
But no, nobody can blame Poch because we had a good spell at the start and a decent xG. He’s totally unaccountable for players he brings in, the mentality of the team in how easily we collapse now, or our defensive woes. It’s all purely down to the ‘clowns’ (fully fledged internationals) he has at his disposal.
Yes, let’s over look the successful years and just look at the past few months. Some of these players were good servants in the past. However, now some of these players are lacking motivation and poch will need to refresh his team to get back to his best. He did well with some of the addition he made last summer...however, only 1 of those additions seems to be the only one fit . That is the limitation of managing a club like Spurs. If Poch has extra cash, Dybala and Cancelo should have been targeted and brought in. Those two players would have vastly improved Spurs and built competition and confidence in their current players. It is time for him to come a club that can give him the players he wants and not limit his financially.
No your not, most people could see it, the thing is you don't see this happens quite a bit in football, you know there is even the saying "you will rue those misses late on". What most people don't do is come on bumming and blowing about seeing it.
If you did see it then you should understand if Spurs wasn’t so wasteful, the narrative would be different today
