It feels like battle lines are drawn between two camps here, but there is room for discussion and healthy debate.
It hurts to lose playing like that and it hurts to see the club where it is. People are hopeful that better players will push things along, but the club are miles off in terms of performance.
There is a tendency to underrate these players because of their performances under Mourinho, but we can see the same zombie football creeping in at Spurs already.
These players are much much better than what performances are suggesting. No signs of consistency after almost a year is the largest proof that there is no system and a coaching staff that should be an embarrassment to a club the size of United. Full of uninspiring names with nothing careers.
Levy got praised for running Spurs the right way, when in reality he lucked into a manager who got a squad playing well above themselves for 5 years. We are seeing now that those players maybe aren’t as good as we believed (it helps that a lot of them are English, and by nature, bigged up by the media)
Not convinced that Fenway did anything special either, bar hire the right man for the job.
Poch is a guy who is available now, has proven that he has a style of play and a system and can get players playing above themselves and consistently qualifying for the CL. That’s what we need right now. Recovery and consolidation.
Who knows if he can go beyond with better resources and a way to refresh his squad as he sees fit. It should be an exciting prospect.
We are making a mistake and I’m really concerned. We are going nowhere under Ole and wasting years of some very valuable young talent.
