Knocking out Barcelona and Bayern on the way to the Champions League semi-finals is huge, if he manages is it that is, you can't play that down.
The "Anyone could have won if they Neymar" patrol will waste no time in downplaying it, don't you worryKnocking out Barcelona and Bayern on the way to the Champions League semi-finals is huge, if he manages is it that is, you can't play that down.
Flick changed them and got them performing, PSG are still disappointing in Ligue 1, Poch hasn't had any impact whatsoever.Bayern had the players but were underperforming with Kovac. PSG don't have the players, that's the level of players like Gueye, Pereira, Draxler, Dagba, Diallo and even 33 years old Di Maria, people should look at what they actually have instead of just looking at the logo.
Answer this simple question, do you think that PSG and Bayern squads are equivalent?Flick changed them and got them performing, PSG are still disappointing in Ligue 1, Poch hasn't had any impact whatsoever.
I know..The "Anyone could have won if they Neymar" patrol will waste no time in downplaying it, don't you worry
I still expect Bayern to go through. Bayern won't miss this many chances two games in a row.Knocking out Barcelona and Bayern on the way to the Champions League semi-finals is huge, if he manages is it that is, you can't play that down.
Even Sampaoli got something out of Marseille, having been appointed later than Poch and with much much worse players. Answer your question with Marseille instead of Bayern.Answer this simple question, do you think that PSG and Bayern squads are equivalent?
Amazing tactical gameplan by Pochettino. Nullified Bayern at home and certainly created one of psg fans best night in football today.
As I stated many times, Pochettino is in the top two managers in football right now. He keeps making his naysayers eat crow time and time again. 3 goals away at Bayern(best team in football) is an unbelievable accomplishment.
Personally I am thinking - he is up against Choupo-Mouting rather than Lewandowski - that's like winning 5 million on the lotteryPoch is honestly lucky to have these players. Otherwise there is no difference between his coaching and Tuchel's generally speaking.
He is very very lucky
If he gets to the semis, he'll deserve some credit for sure but at the same he's had some non negligeable luck along his side. I just like to put things into context, so far I don't see what Poch has brought to PSG having watched them closely this season.Personally I am thinking - he is up against Choupo-Mouting rather than Lewandowski - that's like winning 5 million on the lottery
No, answer my question and Pochettino has a 70% win rate with PSG, it's not as if we are talking about an average record.Even Sampaoli got something out of Marseille, having been appointed later than Poch and with much much worse players. Answer your question with Marseille instead of Bayern.
That's without blocked shots.Goal attempts 24-6, Corners 15-1...
That's as close to a robbery as you get
All I said is that he hasn't had an impact on them yet and so far you haven't shown how wrong I am. Tuchel had a bigger win rate tbh, not that it really matters.No, answer my question and Pochettino has a 70% win rate with PSG, it's not as if we are talking about an average record.
So, almost Chelsea 2012-esque, certainly felt like it at times.That's without blocked shots.
The channel I saw the game on counted 31 shots for Bayern.
The ones downplaying are the ones who Pochettino has made eat crow. What Pochettino accomplished with these result, most if not all managers in football won’t be able to do. These are the top teams in Europe that they scored a lot in.You make it sound like they should be doing better? 4 goals in Barcelona and 3 goals tonight at Bayern against 2 of the best teams in Europe. You’d be crazy not playing counter attacking football away at those 2 sides.
Barca slaughtered them in the second leg and Bayern did so here, however the finishing from both was poor so if gets through the second leg against Bayern then yeah that is a great achievement however no doubt there has been massive luck involved.Knocking out Barcelona and Bayern on the way to the Champions League semi-finals is huge, if he manages is it that is, you can't play that down.
Official UEFA stats was 31 shots for Bayern, plus 64% possession.That's without blocked shots.

Ole would be doing alright if he inherited Neymar and MbappeImagine genuinely thinking that Ole is as good as this guy. Or even better just because you know, "we're second" after spending £300m
One is beating the best team in the world on their turf scoring 3 goals (4 against Barca at Nou camp) and the other one is going out of CL in group stage after losing to a team that's much inferior conceding 3 even after playing 5 at the back. There's a world of difference between them.
While I do believe Poch is a better coach than Ole its not logical to compare PSG to us currently, they have a superior team than us its not fair to compare the results in UCL directly.Imagine genuinely thinking that Ole is as good as this guy. Or even better just because you know, "we're second" after spending £300m

For anyone wondering why people “infect” this thread supporting Ole just read this post. Next time Poch’s PSG loses don’t be suprised when people come in here taking the piss.Imagine genuinely thinking that Ole is as good as this guy.

Bit like the “only won because of the individual brilliance of Bruno brigade”The "Anyone could have won if they Neymar" patrol will waste no time in downplaying it, don't you worry
Neymar alone cost nearly $300million. Ole is only using $200m first team players out of that $300m.Imagine genuinely thinking that Ole is as good as this guy. Or even better just because you know, "we're second" after spending £300m

They have underachieved time and time again in the C.L. In that tournament he has so far only taken them to the level where they should be - but in the league they have been poor consindering the majority of their opponents players wouldnt get into the PSG-squad.If he gets to the semis, he'll deserve some credit for sure but at the same he's had some non negligeable luck along his side. I just like to put things into context, so far I don't see what Poch has brought to PSG having watched them closely this season.
Only superior because they are better coached. Manchester United has spent as much or even more than PSG, yet we were knocked out in the group stages. Great coaches make the team play above their level which pochettino is doing with psg with the likes of kean, Gueyue, Dagbo, Diallo, Drexler, Di Maria(another United rejected all of the sudden playing well), Herrera, Bakker and so on all being an integral part of the team. If we had a better coach, we will be playing better football and our fans will actually finally realize how talented our team is. Spending another £300m won't fix anything if we don't have a good footballing philosophy like Pochettino has implemented at PSGWhile I do believe Poch is a better coach than Ole its not logical to compare PSG to us currently, they have a superior team than us its not fair to compare the results in UCL directly.
like Poccetino has implemented in 4 months in PSG? You do realize this is a team that got to the UCL final last year right?Only superior because they are better coached.

If that was United the story would have been "class Mbappe saves Ole".Goal attempts 24-6, Corners 15-1...
That's as close to a robbery as you get
Yes Bayern was without Sule, Goretzka, Gnabry and Lewandowski.Pochettino was without Marquinhos (his best defender and starter), Verratti (his best midfielder) and Paredes (a starting midfielder).
All this talk about Lewandowski this and Lewandowski, please take both sides of the story into account.
