What a brainless reply, typical of your posts in this thread. The reason I dislike this thread and can come to the conclusion that it should be locked was because I came in here in the first place expecting to see some logical posts about Pochettino. Use your noggin a bit pal.
And over the last day or two anyone else coming in this thread with the same expectation will have mostly seen your whining posts trying to get the thread locked because you personally don't like whats being discussed, and the posts of people replying to your whining to point out that you are taking the thread off topic.

Get a bit of self awareness mate.

Also brainless? The irony :lol:

Pochettino is used to bash Solskjaer and vice versa by two large factions over here, but neutral or non UK eyes see the former as half a manager (zero tituli aka no single trophy under his belt, therefore no logical reason to manage a must-win team yet), the latter as a quarter of a manager (no direct influence yet, neither pragmatist nor guru: a corporate hospitality stuntman with an iPad?).

That would make Pirlo a penny of a manager?

You’ve just essentially said neither should be taken seriously, which is just completely unfair.

Nope, they are just not suited to their current role. And yes, Pirlo at Juve takes that concept to the Moon. :lol:

On a more serious note, we are just seeing top football moving from a competitive sport to entertainment, with all kind of motivations and hooks but logic being used to get media attention and casual fans on board.

Sad but true. Pirlo should never be managing Juve, anyone using that as some kind of moral high ground to promote all the other people pleasing f ups like Lampard, Ole and Arteta’s of this world are also probably the casual fan you was talking about.

But who’s really going to admit they are the sheep.

They’ll smash Barcelona
Without Neymar? Plus we controlled a large, large percentage of the pkay over 2 legs against them.
Messi wont let them away with the chances we missed.

Under Tuchel, it seemed the way PSG played was emphasized around getting the ball to certain players in the buildup.
Against us, you would have said Mbappe and Neymar were receiving the ball too far away from goal to do any danger. Everything was in front of them.

Under Poch, they certainly seem to have a lot more variety in their buildup.
Remains to be seen how it works out for him though.
It's worked tonight.

Maybe in Parc de Princes but not at Camp Nou.
Looks for white text.

Bit of a false dawn Barca putting loads of goals past likes of Alaves, Elche and Granada in recent times. PSG very comfortable tonight.

I knew Poch's fans would be loud this evening, especially with our current form.
I'm always loud with Poch. Love him and have admired his management style since 2013.

Funny how it wasn't long ago that us that rate Poch were mocked when José was doing well and when we were doing well.

Poch is a difference maker.

I’d rather coach Greenwood than Mbappe to be honest, three years younger and with proper coaching and usage could become just as good if not better.
Get out of here. Greenwood is a fantastic finisher and scoring goals is obviously what football is about, but let’s not pretend he is even on the same planet as Mbappe.
