We played:
Leeds then a week later we played Wolves then midwek again vs Aston Villa
They played Saudi Sportswashing Machine the day before we played Leeds, then Man utd in mid week before the FA Cup final. Then Chelsea midweek again then us.
Big difference. Plus we had a week off.
I can totally understand why they'd have been drained on Sunday tbh

I'm pretty sure he asked Levy to make him manager and NOT keep a DoF when he was here before...

True. But easier to get PSG back to that, than us back to where he had us surely?

I think that the fullback whisperer might even be able to do a job on Doherty

Yet we don’t give our own team the same excuses
Funnily enough when we have had time to prepare for games we've played far worse!

The issue is he has to learn how to manage
His coaching is second to none but he needs to learn more on the management side

Did Poh really give our youngsters that many chances to play though?
Tanganga was nowehere to be seen before Jose, ditto Skipp etc

What I think he actually said was don't blame me for some of this brick show, it's not my team, I only coach them.

Tuchel left a mess there, they are playing better than when he came in but we know that Poch needs a while to fully get his ideas across and a pre-season to get fitness where he needs it.

No, i mean years before summer 2019. I'm sure after Baldini left, his job title changed and it was reported he didn't want a DoF above him etc

Of course
But maybe he enjoys the journey
The guys a coach after all
But again ... it’s all paper talk

This was my one bug bear with Poch - not sending the kids out... they do not get the experiences required training with the first team. Kane, Townsend, Mason, Walker, Rose all done the hard yards and became established PL players...

Your last point is key. Makes as much sense as Harry Kane 'wanting to go back to Arsenal' (or even Leicester or Millwall..)

A mess?
They were 1 point off top
That’s not a mess IMO
I do agree he does need time with the players though
But also are they coachable players?
That first half vs city in the first leg they were outstanding
After that they were crap and actually really really dumb too

My memory is awful, I remember stuff, but not when.
But as I recall it when things started going south and purchases were questioned.
Could be, and probably am wrong though

That first half delighted and infuriated me: if Neymar hadn'tr wanted to do his showpony routine i'm convinced they'd have gone in two up and City would have mentally lost it.
I can't remember the last time City were out-passed, outmuscled in one half like that (pretty sure PSG had far more posession too, City were often chasing shadows).
I think it was likely Poch that last did that to a Pep side apart from Klopp (and even then with Liverpool it was about decisive breaks as opposed to total posession and tactical dominance)
