He's got the easiest festive fixtures I've ever seen in my life coming up too. A couple of losses in them and he's surely toast with the new spending funds in January.
Pochettino Chelsea Manager - Sack Watch
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I thought maybe Chelsea were coming around with some recent positive performances, but they look to be back to the form they showed very early on in the campaign. It is amazing that they have spent so much and sit in 12th and there is very little criticism of them in the media.
"Master Poch has gifted Dobbin a goal. Dobbin is free!"
I can't make a judgement until I've seen the xG breakdown on the defeat to Everton.
No European football distraction lets not forget. Pochettino on borrowed time.
Same. They have no Europe to distract them so 19 points after 16 games is really poor. Poch has to improve results asap and try and win League Cup to make it look like they may be going somewhere under him.
sounds familiar
We’re nothing like Chelsea before that shit starts
To think, I was arguing with someone on here who believed Pochettino has done an ‘impressive’ job (not Amadeus surprisingly) so far. There is absolutely no way that you can spin his current stint as ‘impressive’. No justification whatsoever with the players at his disposal and money spent.
Don't worry, they lost that too. xG ain't saving him from this one. Needs to invent a new advanced stat to buy time now. xMoney?
Its ok, its another transition season. No Europe next year will be a good thing, etc
Think he's in big trouble
Squad full of overpaid shite on massive long term contracts.....very similar to our situation.

Wanted him over EtH after Ole but he seems just as if not more shit? Who has a better squad?
The way our fanbase & our IG page celebrated the Chelsea win to only go and watch Everton do the same next week.
Chelsea are pure garbage and our win meant against them meant nothing.

When was the last time Chelsea was this bad? On course for a 45 point season..
The relegation battle is shaping up to be particularly boring this season. In a more normal year Chelsea would be hovering 5-6 points above the relegation zone.

Leave being better at xG for the masters eh lads. 
Is Amadaeus banned or has he just disappeared for a bit to make a triumphant return to gloat when the team he doesn't support wins 4-0 against someone.
The second one.
Stick with Paunch please!
He's certainly struggling right now. Is he shit? I don't know, it's fun to laugh at him though!
I didn't want him like you did, and I'm certainly not advocating for him now as I'd always want a manager on the up. It might not be a popular opinion but I think certain managers suit certain clubs with certain players at certain times. You can't look at manager or even a player doing poorly elsewhere and be 100% certain he wouldn't be doing a good job somewhere else.
That doesn't mean we ignore how managers are doing in their current role and pick someone random who has been shite at every job they've had but I think things are looked at too simply at times.
If he was here he wouldn't have signed the same players ETH did for a start. Lots of people saying we need a better structure at United, and that a manager shouldn't be deciding who we sign on his own. Well Pochettino had much less of a voice in deciding who they bought over the summer compared to Ten Hag due to the way their club is set up and it's not going right either. Probably wishes he did have the power Erik has right about now and apparently he will have more of a say in the future.
Anyway, back to laughing at him.

Poch also calls for January signings: “We need to talk and to try and improve in the next transfer market”.
Get them 6 year contracts ready boys!

He’s doing a terrible job
You love to see it.
One team wonder just like you know who.
Can he genuinely keep his job if they finish bottom half?
Potter didn't survive that so can't really see the argument for Poch as much as I generally rate him.
Fulham back above them and in normal situation Everton would be comfortably above them aswell.
For the millions spent they're miles off it still and basically a replica of last season where they had endless decent approach play but could never score.
They have lost all the ruthlessness they had in the Abramovich era from the top down.

time to launch a new campaign: Poch Remains In Chelsea Kit
Can't you condemn the door while he is out?
Shit manager. He's been to PSG and Chelsea and started crying for signings and complaining right after they both spent an insane amount money. Guy doesn't live in the real world and doesn't know when it's time for him to just shut up and coach what he has.
I've sort of forgotten why anyone ever thought he was any good, to be honest.
44 points last season. They have 39 points in 39 league games in 2023
They should stick with him to break the cycle of sacking managers. That'll sort things out
They should replace the whole squad and let him bring his players in.
Now that is hilarious. They are headed for a 1 point improvement then! Pochettino masterclass!44 points last season. They have 39 points in 39 league games in 2023
Imagine if even Arsenal, never mind United, were sat in 12th. Would CONSTANTLY be hearing from Neville, Keane etc. it barely gets mentioned about Chelsea. Small club.
Players have downed tools are not responding to him like they've done for the last few managers. Disgraceful group this lot.
Perhaps, Poch wants our manager job?
...........
...........
I don't understand how people actually rate him anymore.
He did well at Spurs, but shat the bed every time they looked like they might win something.
Been increasingly garbage since then.

Poch isn't the problem, neither was Potter.
It's all on the owners and sporting directors...
Terrible signings and squad composition, a bunch of kids plus Silva who is done physically and Sterling who is not a dressing room leader on 325k a week.
