For all of Poch’s short comings, other than the obvious ( slow learner, poor at due diligence, match planner etc) he lacks BALLS.
He lacks the courage of his own conviction. Give me the reigns and I’ll sit Levy down, and sell him on the need to sign certain players to allow our investments to recoup ( World Cup hungover players) and give this title and the cups a red hot go!
Poch comes across as a soft touch, one which Levy can slap about without the risk of him walking out, and with Spurs ticking over nicely ( not over achieving) and having the books balanced.
If anything, given the quality of our squad, Poch should’ve won something within the last 48 months. He now appears to be on a downward spiral having peaked without success.
Poch seems to have lost the passion, which unfortunately is rubbing off on to his soldiers. It’s not too late though, if he has a moment of clarity, regroups and focuses on what was once his priority....building a legacy, building a quality, fit strong squad dedicated to winning EVERY game, and committed to winning the title.
It’s as much a mental thing that’s it is physical, but Poch is not know for intelligence, or for mentally encouraging players. He’s a proved slow learner.
We have the quality in our squad. It’s up to Poch to realise that quality. If he can’t do it, then unfortunately we’ll need to find someone who can.
