Monaco 2016-2017 was 2 tiers above this Lille side that just won the league, semifinalists at CL(eliminating Dortmund and City) and more than 100 goals scored that season...with players like Falcao, Mbappé,Bernardo Silva, Mendy, Lemar,Joao Moutinho,etcDidn't PSG basically put out a joke line up for first 3-4 games given half their squad had covid and they had to start french league a week after playing CL final.
Start of the season cost them the league imo.
In any case I'd be surprised if Poch got sacked. Ancelotti didn't win the league in similar circumstances in 11/12 and Emery lost out in 2017 to Monaco and both got the next season, it's generally more two strikes at CL and then you're out so think same will apply to Poch and he obviously has to win the league aswell.
The Lille side seems very underwhelming, even though Tuchel also collaborated to this mess, it's not solely on Pochettino.
