The fact you don't even know they played in UCL means you never watch them. What's the point of giving your opinion if you have no idea how they are playing?
Now who do we want? Graham Potter?
Yes it did. Like I stated, Ten Hag is a huge risk. Benefica was an easy draw and he couldn't even get pass them. I believe he might have fallen even below Rodgers now after this performance. This was definitely one of the worst result and unexpected result in the champion league so far in the round of 16
Considering no one watched the game and all stats and bits I've seen indicate absolute domination, I'm not sure what the negative comments are about.
TBF, I doubt many people actually give a feck about Poch's performances in Europe. Generally speaking, they are more than okay. The reasons Ten Hag is preferred over Poch are numerous - clear style and pattern of play, beautiful football, consistency, dominating the league, the right winner type mindset he has, etc.
CL is CL, anything goes. Doubt Pep will win it this year even though IMO City are by far the best team in the competition.
I was taking the piss because they’re out….
He's actually a very level headed Arsenal fan. I've known him for a long time and he's very knowledgeable on the game.He must be a closet United fan then, cause no way in hell would I want him at Arsenal
One thing I will say though. If he can do this with the likes of Tadic, Haller, Blind, Berguis, etc I wonder what he could do with a much better set of players.
But as far as the game goes it was disappointing for Ajax to go out, but he (ten Hag) coached a good game and if you don't take your chances and the opposition have a striker like Darwin Nunes, then there's a possibility you will concede, and that's what happened. But applying a coordinated press with zone control capabilities were on point from what I've just heard. And the coach can only create the conditions for the team to succeed, and ten Hag succeeded in doing that. But he can't go on the pitch and finish moves off for the team.
Poch has purely been a counter pressing coach through-out his career. And the current level in the league requires a coach to be good at both counter pressing and exerting zonal positional control via possession. Klopp has transitioned to a more possession based game by bringing in Dutchman Ljinders. Tuchel is also someone that adheres to the positional play principles and Guardiola the same in that regard.
What happened 10 years ago at Soton and then carried on at Spurs under Poch was a approach heavily reliant on counter pressing. And that was at a time when the league wasn't as strong as it is now, with coaches who are far superior and have also built their foundations.
But if if we do hire Poch, then I hope he brings in a coach who will help him instill a positional game.
Only if the people making the decision have recently suffered some sort of debilitating brain injury.
This is not a place to take the piss, grow up!!
Still a better manager than that serial bottler you seem to worship.
psg was playing real Madrid while Ajax was playing benefica. Benefica was the underdog, while real Madrid was the favorites. Despite that psg dominated real Madrid the majority of the tie and only loss because of bad errors by their defenders. Moreover, having very lazy forward who does little off the ball. Ajax should have won this and I m not sure how they didnt.Nice try.
You said:
It didn't age well. It's an incredibly funny take. Your man has been a failure at PSG. If you disagree then I'll just assume you are his wife.
Nope, don’t know a thing about Ajax or ETH. Last time I saw them play was Jose’s EL final vs us.
Couldn’t tell you how the played cos I was supporting my own team watching Utd.
Not even close and after what happened today, I don't know how you can say that. Even with their history, I don't know how you can say that as well. Until ten hag manage in a stronger league and does well, you can't say that without sounding bias
Just get him in now.
Really difficult to separate the wums from the dropped on the head as a baby specimens.
Or the ones who dropped Pochettino when he was a baby...
Oh the irony
As opposed to Poch who's in a one horse league and still finds ways to bottle it. Ajax dominated today and were unlucky to go out, it happens.
I m not going to change the subject on this thread because I know many on here are ready to report me for the littlest thing. Eitherway, i disagree and if you or other want to continue this topic, you and other can message me in the Pochettino thread. We can talk about ten hag performance on here, which as I stated it was unexpected how he lost to the underdog.
So why are you posting about a subject you have 0 knowledge of?
Obviously the younger Verissimo is the way to go.
I couldn't care less that Ajax have gone out. Bring him in now. Also, sign Darwin Nunez.
ETH would still be my first choice.
Considering how light we are upfront, he might be worth a punt.
I honestly think he is the best option for us.
And Poch didn’t during his spell in Tottenham? People seem to forget and remember selectively in order to support their own agenda.
As I’ve said before: Poch’s performance with Tottenham was on level with Klopp and Pep.
Considering how well Portugese players have done in the PL over the years(Bruno, Jimmenez, Neves, Moutinho) than we should definitely make him our target
Did he win anything? Because you know those 2 have and that is the main gripe with Poch with a lot of people here.
The double standards on here are ridiculous. That's why I can't take half the opinions seriously on here. Some posters recognise the strengths and weaknesses of all managers but want ETH... Fair enough. But this that have slated Poch all week then come straight to this thread, after Ajax are beaten at home by the underdogs and knocked out, saying 'Sign him up' are just fecking muppets.
Reminds me of those that used to try and say Ole was better than Arteta. Simply can't see anything other than black and white and are just reactive to results or like a herd of sheep that are influenced by others.

Not sure about that, Ajax are only two points clear of a PSV side that have been ravaged by injuries.
He’s Uruguayan.
You are right losing away to Real Madrid is so much worse than losing at home to Benfica
My bad, meant players from the Portugese leagueYou are right losing away to Real Madrid is so much worse than losing at home to Benfica
After being 2-0 up in the tie with less than an hour to go, only to concede 3 it as opposed to losing via the only chance of the game... It is.You are right losing away to Real Madrid is so much worse than losing at home to Benfica
And have relied on 2 last minute goals after giving up 2-0 leads against cannon fodder in the last 8 days. The double standards are ridiculous - both are clearly very good candidates but the idea that if we hire pochetino we’re fecking incompetent muppets missing out on a guaranteed sure thing drives me crazy. It isn’t a clear cut decision - ETH is a huge gamble.
Pretty much sums it up for me..
