Don't really know, wasn't that arsed to Google each player noted.
Original comment was more that they're not necessarily years off getting in the first team squad (and did caveat not all may make it). Was just excited at this crop ... need something to look forward to and they're (could be) it
Still did better than our current manager and other favorite managerial candidate.
Unbeaten at home in the Champion league and completed dominated real Madrid the majority of both leg only to have their defenders gift real Madrid goals.
Pochettino is the only manager that might be attainable that can take us where we should be and the champion league this season is indication of that
Some people never learn. There is a reason why Messi and neymar were booed recently. They are unmanageable at the moment and Pochettino with these two have been facing the biggest handicap any manager has in football at a top club
And here he is, right on cue. Goes AWOL and miraculously appears again minutes after United lose a game to crow, just like the Europa final.
How the feck have you not been banned yet?
Not United, moreso ten hag. I am shocked united loss, but more surprised that the fan favorite in ten hag lost. Regardless, i had a lot of response and I just responded to them. It is now an offense to respond to a message?
Mind blowing he hasn't been banned yet.
Absolutely pathetic his trolling in the Hag thread.
Even if he was a real person, it's just flat out weird at this stage the hard on he got for Poch the spurs reject, creepy almost

Strange comment going by your posts regards the two managers
The only reason PSG weren't favourites against Madrid was because Poch was the manager tbf, they've been underwhelming all season. Any top manager with that squad, they'd be one of the favourites to win the whole tournament. It's a shame they've just been getting saved by Mbappe for the majority of the season, but he couldn't manage to get them across the line against a Madrid team that certainly isn't the Madrid of old
I actually don't think Poch is that bad a manager tbf

This place is full of typing memesI've heard it all now, gloating about Poch being unbeaten at home in the Champions league, despite GETTING KNOCKED OUT
The desperation in your posts is getting more and more obvious, I'd imagine you'd be gloating about how many games PSG drew and how that shows fortitude in Pochs tactics by the end of the season
Absolute car crash.
The difference in quality between Benfica and Ajax is hardly that much. The fact that we consider Ajax as significantly stronger than Benfica in itself an achievement for ETH.
I'd argue and say that the gap between PSG and RM sides on paper is much wider than that between Benfica and Ajax
Watching the Ajax game after we shit the bed, my first thought was "hasn't Daley Blind aged?"
Uhm, Pochettino just looks like the PSG experience has marked him.

There certainly are some unique characters. You can find one in almost every thread.
I don't think so, Real Madrid are 10 points clear of La Liga, widely considered a much stronger league than Ligue 1?
Meanwhile Benfica are only 3rd in Portugal, 12 points behind Porto. Ajax were clear favourites here.
I think he's kept for comedy value.
CL of this year is a indication he should manage us and he got dumped.. Heard it all now from him although there's still way more to come.
lets be clear. the top 3 in portugal are about as strong as the top 3 in holland.
Part of me wants us to appoint Poch so that this guy can witness him fail spectaculary here.
What’s the point getting Pochettino really, we know he won’t win us a league or probably any trophies for that matter (massive bottle job) might get 4th place but who really gives a feck, might as well take the gamble on someone that very well may win a league, than 3-4 years of mediocrity to start all over again.
How has this guy not been banned yet, it's ridicoulous WUMing.
He'll just have more excuses. This is the point, people on here saying why does everyone hate Poch, well they don't, he's a decent manager. It's just this WUM is constantly posting this shite that when Poch does badly, everyone points it out.
True but Ajax are leading their league, scoring 77 goals and only conceding 11 after winning all 6 group games, scoring 20 goals. Most people would have expected them to win this game, especially at home.
Doesn't always work out that way though does it. We got knocked out of Europe by teams we were expected to beat back when we were dominating the league
Yeah but it's the same with PSG and Poch, CL is fickle and losing to Real Madrid with several players who have several CLs, a manager who has won 3 CLs and are 10 points clear of La Liga isn't a great shame to lose on paper. It's the way it happened, but PSG and Real was always going to be a tight game. The original poster said there was a large gap between the teams.
Yes we did. But the point remains. At no point were they realistically overwhelming favorites.
In term of personnel alone it shouldn't have been close. If you swapped Ancelotti and Poch around. Real would have been massacred home and away
He had some that he discussed in his book.
https://www.blitzquotidiano.it/spor...rdo-pensavo-fosse-un-amico-ma-al-psg-2575939/
Benzema is playing as well as anyone for PSG and to the level of Mbappé, Vinicius is doing as well as Neymar, if not better, at the moment.
Real's midfield of Casemiro/Valverde Modric and Kroos has won it all and is easily the match of Verratti, Paredes and Danilo. Courtois = Donnarumma. Alaba is an excellent defender and while I rate Marquinhos highly, could argue the equal, especially in those games. I don't really rate Kimpembe, would rather Eder Militao. Nacho vs Mendes, much of amuchness.
Hakimi is much better than Carvajal and Messi should be much better than Asensio in two positions. But does Messi take as much away these days when also playing in an unbalanced team with Neymar and Mbappé?
If I remember correctly this is about Al Khelaifi, he is the one who told him that, iirc in the locker room.
It was like he was expected to fail and our board seemingly liking him as an option.
Ancelotti said he did actually. One of the reasons why he left for Madrid
Could be bs of course, but he that's what he said
Chances of him leaving PSG in the summer, something in the region of, 100%?
The problem is that the moment that allegedly made him decide to leave is linked to Al Khelaifi, he apparently lambasted both Ancelotti and Leonardo before a game against Reims. What I understand from the quote in the book is that he hoped to have Leonardo's support which he apparently didn't had but the context is that they were in the same boat.
On the topic of PSG, Al Khelaifi has been described as the bigger issue. Since day one, he has been accused of being too close to players and giving them the abilitiy to bypass both the manager and the DOF which was apparently very common with Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva. An other thing that I find amusing is that apprently he used to go clubbing with certain players like Verratti and Lavezzi.
Getting knocked out by the favorite isn't a bad thing and poch psg team actually was the best team overall in both legs only for 18 minutes of faulty error from their defenders. Nothing desperate about stating fact.I've heard it all now, gloating about Poch being unbeaten at home in the Champions league, despite GETTING KNOCKED OUT

In fact, i dont know why i keep bother responding to your post, when experts who is worth more my time have more articulated and more insightful opinion and reiterate what I say.
No team can be competitive when you have three passengers in the team and the way psg dominated real Madrid and is walking the league, is quite remarkable accomplishment.
Completely untrue as other already pointed out.

using Michael Owen as a Bastian of footballing knowledge now are we!!Let's see some other quips from people who supposedly know about football shall we;
'Mauricio Pochettino has failed with PSG's star-studded squad - and it will cause Man Utd to think twice' says respected Football journalist Jason Burt
Manchester United 'should run a mile' from Mauricio Pochettino after Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League humiliation, according to Paul Merson.
Or if ex players and world renowned journalists aren't your thing(which would be ironic considering the video you just linked).....
How about from the man himself:
Mauricio Pochettino admits not winning Champions League would make him a failure https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.90...champions-league-would-make-him-a-failure/amp
So I guess he is a failure then, or do the words of your idol fall on deaf ears yet again?
You are making this too easy now.

The video I posted was more insightful than the quips you posted. Star studded team?? You need more than a star studded team to win the Champions League. The people you posted had no insightful analysis of the game and didn't even mentioned the limitations of having three passengers in the team, the comical errors made by their defenders and how they psg dominated but failed to finish chances.
Expectations at psg st high. As mentioned before poch didn't meet that expectation because it is so high. But then again, he still did better than our other managerial candidates so far this season. Ralf is failing Expectations, I don't know what the expectation at Ajax are but eth couldn't beat the third best team in Portugal and is only two point behind second place team (so, I don't see that as meeting expectation), Conte is failing Expectations and just lost to Ralf who might have ended their top four hopes, and your favorite considering your football knowledge big Sam seems to be failing his diet. Regardless, as mentioned before, Pochettino is definitely what we need and should be the leading candidate for the job next season
Convenient that you left out Pochs own words, which I'll reiterate for you:
The feeling is about winning the Champions League and, if not, you will feel that you have failed
Even the great Poch himself knows he has failed
It's going to a dilemma for you here, you can either disregard what Pochettino stated which will mean you don't believe in Poch or what he says any more, making it difficult, or nigh on impossible to carry on with your Poch loving,
Or you can agree with his OWN words, and basically agree that he has been a failure at PSG and reduce every statement you've made on here to rubble.
its a tough choice mate, I don't envy you at all
Bringing a manager in who has been sacked at Tottenham doesn't feel smart does it?
But when he's free in the summer, you can't imagine the club going for the more renegade, higher risk higher reward Ten Hag option.

Without a context, you'd be right. Bringing Tim Sherwood or Nuno would not be smart. Bringing Pochettino who did a clearly good job there is another thing. I get that people don't want him, I'm not sure if he'de be right for us either, but there's a clear agenda now against him and in favour of ten Hag.
