i wouldnt touch ZZ with a bargepole whoever the club, the man very luckily won 3 CL in a row which is steall, but with the team he had then and the money he spent this summer and he still isnt happy and wants more and cant get them playing well ….yet

think he might be a tad overrated as a manager…

as for my lot, dindt get to see the game but it sounds like we did very well had opur RB, LB and a CB back form injury and playing, hopefully they continue and get in the 1st team and we become at least little more solid at the back! nice to see martinez score a couple too, there is great hopes for this lad both here and in Brazil, hopefully we dont mess up his progress if true!

yeah but i can actually see where he is coming from….its not like the liverpool situation of being CL finalists (the year before) as you played better and more consistantly and were on a general upward trend in every department culminatin in last year 2nd and CL winners and now unbeaten in the PL this season and still flying….you havent had a hang over at all….

similar to us, we were CL finalists once (honest) and we never kicked on or invested or improved and let players have a free ride by their ever increasingly fragile of mind manager!

we went a season unbeaten then didnt kick on yet again with the results we are still forced to eat now….

ive said it before and will say it again, the 2 clubs are very similar, the shiny new stadium, not buying when they should to save money and so on and so forth and its worse for them as they have not won a thing in that time, at least we used to pick up the odd FA Cup….and you all heard the AFC tv metdowns, unless something changes fast at spuds it could get worse, but they still have many many positives…its a knife edge and the conduct of the whole team form board to playing staff will determine of they collapse as we did and united have or can finally kick on as liverpool have….my money would be the former!

all jokes aside…the following is a post from possibly the last remaining spuds fanon TT…thougt it would be good to put here……

It has been a long time since I have posted on here but after last night I felt the need to.
The club is in disarray. Exposed manager more defensive of his position by the days, divas who are only interested in picking up their paycheck and not earning it, and fans who have never felt more disconnected with a squad that had potential to win a trophy, even a tin pot one.
Poch has been found out and no this is not an overreaction. Inconsistent tactics and team selections, poor in-game judgment but the occasional decent win will apparently tape over the cracks. A couple of the aspects of Poch’s reign that he has been widely praised for can be easily pulled apart.
ADVERTISING

1) Development of players/youth: This is by far the most widely held myth that Poch has brought on much of the current squad from what they were. No, this is called development by experience. Much of the squad when Poch arrived such as Vertonghen, Eriksen & Lloris were entering their peak years or building on the previous season by first team exposure. A few examples of horrific development would be Alli, Trippier, Dier, Wanyama and Sanchez. All initially improved but over the years each has seen their form plummet and the resulting game time decrease. The performances of Trippier for Atletico Madrid this season uphold this, a good manager coaches him. Dier went from a good DM prospect to a lump who cannot run. Alli went from scoring beautiful goals to being anonymous. Sanchez was arguably the best CB prospect in Europe, only in front of De Ligt on an age basis, and now he looks erratic and unsure. One player who has also regressed arguably is Kane as his all round play is very good, able to create a good number of opportunities for others, however Poch needs to say to him to refrain from getting so involved and be the focal point. Often Kane drops deep to collect the ball and looks up to see where the outlet is although there isn’t one. He is the outlet meaning our attack stutters and we struggle to breakdown defensive teams. A good role model for him in this respect would be Firmino who hold the ball up well, is still mobile and yet creates good opportunities, however Poch will not want to upset his star man.
ADVERTISING

2) Use of English players: Happened to be a club with a decent amount of internationals or good prospects on brink of first team football. Since then only KWP (barely used) and Skipp (who actually looks good and should keep Wanyama away) have had consistent exposure. Complete nonsense that he has played a significant role in the England squad selection over the past few years.
3) Man management & Transfers: This summer truly exposed how bad things have become. The likes of Aurier, Rose and Wanyama were told to find new clubs yet none were sold. Professionally this should not affect your performances however this is demoralizing and negatively impact the players mental state. The likes of Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Eriksen all have one year left and not enough has been done to retain their services or sell them before losing them next summer on a free. Where is the Lloris replacement that has been needed for a number of years? The visible connection between the players and Poch has been lost, both on and off the pitch.
One thing I will never understand is how fans can see the issues of the team yet the coaches do not, or do not listen.
Poch, many thanks for the good times but I think it is time to go. We need a winning manager such as Allegri or Mourinho. It may not be pretty football but what we need is a winning mentality to break this current cycle of fragility.

nice idea but not exactly manageble unless its just a one person boycot of one jersey for a few years….

i know for a fact that all the big players are guilty of the same things when it comes to manafacturing, it happens in very industry, even your shiny new iphone 11 will be made in a UFO factory and made by people paid fuck all!

if you want to take a stance on companies especially the eeeeeevil ones then i salute you but highly doubt you could do it

seems odd to not want Nike of all things, betting and the likes is far more understandable and helps put you on a more level playing field with big guns

look at united, crap for 6 years and counting and highest revenues ever….

MOOS? “Tough luck Chuck think we all wsnrec Spurs to go through to make the competition more invigorating”

no
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO…and so on and so forth

more than happy for the spuds to crash out at the lowest ranked team left and miss out on yet another trophy, have a small essex club in the next round and have a bit of giant killing to boot….

i think Poch would fit in at RM currently, both play in white and struggle to won with good squads 🙂

Nancy, i think with the spuds you to few coming in (no cover for RB) and many have been there so long now and no new injection in the team to take the “next step”, having made the CL final you diddnt “kick on” and have not for to long now so many of the older players may well be thinking they have done what they can…

poch to RM?

bit of a mixed up post there 442, like you8 argue for and against your own points….

but if i get what you are saying……

new manager bounce didnt work well for Watford 😉

i feel similar to you now tho with my team and a few more fans are going the same way…Emery was given a free pass after replacing AW and having to work with what he had and the club had left him, over paid underperforming stars and no identity (like Man U) he has done well in some ways in others tho…if you cant set up a team to defend or focus the players in, in that area where the world and his wife can see they are needed, is he a poor manager?

we need him with maureen as his number 2, least the anti football god knows how to defend!

hell of a weekend of football, ignoring the “VAR talk” which is just another way of bemoaning a refs decision, maybe they will “even out over the course of a season” 😉

Spuds lost
united lost
Arsenal (somehow, despite their very best efforsts not to) Won!

few more weeks like that would be super duper 😉
