Next to nothing? Forget the stats - we've gone from being a legitimate relegation form team, second best in every match to being the better team in every match this season. That alone is huge for us. We were better than Liverpool, Arsenal, and Brighton and Tottenham lost their heads as we were in a period of ascendancy. He hasn't been perfect and there's still a ton of work to do but make no mistake, he's been impressive.
So the table should be

Chelsea 11 - 0 - 0 33 pts
Man City 9 - 0 - 2 27 pts
Tottenham 8 - 2 - 1 26 pts

Great man and great manager. Taught big Ange a lesson yesterday.

Have a sneaking suspicion they'll do City at the weekend too. One of those gut feelings... they're one of the few teams in the league that I think can compete in the middle of the park with the Stockport dopers and that's huge.
Did he though?

Yes. Never have your players get two red cards and give a pen. Ange knows now.
After the battle of Stamford Bridge and Mike Dean admitting he purposely didn’t tell the ref to send Romero off last season, you could forgive Ange for telling his players to get stuck in because refs will never send you off, you are all immune to red cards against Chelsea.

To all my haters



@Solius , @CallyRed , @Champ, @always_hoping , @cjj , and so many on here.


Pochettino has schooled all the top teams this season without their main strikers and so many injury.

Not many managers can play like that against pep city. Only klopp and Pochettino.

Like I mentioned before, the underlying stats showed that chelsea is much better than they are. Once chelsea get a full strength squad that is when we truly see pochball

Are you on the spectrum? Genuine question.

They're starting to look really good under him. The underlying stats show that they are performing well and should be near the top if they were a bit sharper and luckier. Results will follow. Top coach, wish we'd gone for him.

I m on Google fiber.:). But in all honesty, so many on here want to see Pochettino fail, but can't accept that he is one of the best manager in league alongside klopp and pep. Showed it again by outplaying pep city who had all the luck go their way this game
Okay let's say he is one of the best. Why are you so obsessed with him?

:lol: what? You're the one who bangs on about the stats, they're even and it points to a draw being the correct result.

I think he's great, and he was my second choice after Pep to replace Fergie in 2013 (yes, he impressed me that much already by then) but I can't wish him well at a rival. I didn't even really like seeing him do well at Spurs who aren't as bad as Chelsea. I'm happy for you, though, @Amadaeus :lol:

Not obsessed with him. It is just to prove a point that United should have gone for him long time ago. We screwed up badly.

The difference would have been massive if we had gotten Pochettino. Right now our football is appalling and we are only winning games because of good fortune similiar to Ole. Pochettino would have gotten us where we should have been. Chelsea will only get better because they have a proper coach, whereas united will only get worse and we will eventually be found out like Ole was.

Its beginning to look that way, though I think the best time to go for him was in the Ole interim season, where the decision-makers became seduced by the bounce (as well as the social media engagement. If we'd just hired someone like Hiddink for 6 months and then appointed Poch at the end of that season...we' d still have structural issues, but chances are the squad set-up would be more coherent and filled with players with better technical and physical baselines in PL terms, we'd have won something pre ETH era and maybe just coming to the end of Poch's 'cycle' now etc.

This is not guaranteed because toward the end of his time at Spurs where they restructured to give him more power, their recruitment taken a nosedive where he left them with quite some expensive duds after his sacking.

Also we had won something last season. There is no guarantee with Poch to win those smaller trophies because he didn't win anything in England. His PSG tenure maybe a curse but also a blessing where he put trophies on his CV however one may not be impressed by it.

He is in 10th place (10th!) with like a billion pounds worth of squad.

Well done mate!

Utd are ahead of Chelsea but let's be honest, deep down you'd be feeling far more optimistic as a Utd fan if you were playing how Chelsea have been. Over time the results tend to catch up with the performances, rather than the other way around.

I would just wait a little bit before acting like he won something. 10th place so far.
