At the end of the day, you can count on one severed hand the amount of games PSG had like today where they looked comfortable throughout (despite that there was a good 15-20m spell for Clermont). It's inexcusable for someone as hyped up as Poch to have managed such paltry performances throughout the season that have been bailed out by individual brilliance and no real sense of coherence or tactics a year on from his appointment. Meanwhile, United is as much a snake pit as PSG is. If he's failed at PSG, I have no doubts he will fail at this current United side.

I'm confused, so when they lose, Neymar, Mbappe and Messi made them a dysfunctional team. Now they're bagging hat tricks, it's down to Poch's brilliance?
Do you see any weaknesses in your God Poch? Or is he the best thing since the sliced bread? Serious question.
Since they are uncoachable, you know what the logical conclusion is.
Yeah and that would be a good thing listening to our players. Maybe they know poch would be chill to work with like Ole but ETH would actually change our style and demand more.
And today was all about Neymar/MBappé/Messi, there's litteraly no coaching performance in a game like tonight, it's pure individual brilliance.
The 1st game against Real really was tactically impressive but that one of the only great games of the season.
Ah how I miss those days. Can we resign him back off you?
Even that performance came with the caveat that Madrid were scared of playing and just let us do whatever we wanted. If anything, the return leg performance was more impressive because despite Madrid fighting, we controlled them for large chunks of the game until they melted down and Poch just stood there absolutely clueless.
I can't wait to see PSG highlights of their stars finally deciding to show up and attribute it to Poch
Thank you. I trust the take of a PSG fan more than the take of a Poch fan.
Another brilliant performance. I don't think any other team in Europe is playing better football at the moment. The most frustrating part is that if it wasn't for donnarumma error, psg would still be in the champion league and we could witness a more competitive competition. This psg team made real Madrid look like a pub team and real Madrid made the last year champion league winners look average. It is crazy how football works, but that is football. Nothing is guaranteed.
In the process of getting comprehensively beaten by them in a matter of like 20 minutes.
but yeah, beating Clermont has shown the doubters.I thought all the actual PSG fans have been slamming the team for how terribly they actually play on the field, even if they actually win. Yet according to Amadaeus they are playing the best football in Europe
amazing how signing the best player of all time has been spun into a negative that Poch has to deal with
Is Poch doing worse than your other managers? Football fans always have 2 second memories but I'm curious if you actually think Poch is doing worse.
They're not uncoachable but it does seem like the manager is, at best, the 5th most powerful person there. In those circumstances, there's a limit to what he can do. Tuchel was the same. He's clearly a brilliant manager but at PSG, he didn't impress many people.
Tbh, it kinda is. Same with us and Ronaldo. Messi means massively raised expectations and another player who can't be dropped, disciplined or made to adapt for the team on top of the other two and all that for a player who doesn't seem to care any more about PSG than Mbappe who wants to leave.
I honestly think PSG would do better if they hadn't signed Messi and had gotten rid of Neymar a couple of seasons ago. They could have won the CL with Mbappe leading a fully functioning team instead of 3 luxury forwards.
In ligue 1 he is, no doubt, 90% of the games are just bad and we didn't even have an honeymoon period with him, it was terrible when he showed up in january and almost worse at the beginning of the new season. In the CL we had a couple of good performances but that's pretty much it, no consistancy, no identity.
You mentioned villa because you thought they spent more than Pochs spurs....they didn't. .They performed much better, not surprised that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I mentioned villa, so you would know what a mid table team was. You still haven't provide the chart to provide me otherwise. You Deviated from the reason the thread was rejuvenated. Poch may or may not get sacked. He won't be the first manager that psg wrongly sacked.
Coupe de league and trophies de champion. Getting to the semi final means nothing?
I know it's hard to admit your wrong, bit sometimes that's the only way.
I thought you'd come to your senses when Poch realised he was a failure, but your still holding on!!
Wow, it is incredible that you think otherwise and just shows how uninformed a lot of posters on here are. Without even noting his career at spurs, which blows anything ETH has done, I will just use his time at psg as example. At psg, he has reached the semi finals of the champion league, won two domestic cups, and about to walk the league in just his first full season, experience managing superstar and handling ego (after getting knocked out of the Champions League, the psg players could have down tools, but they are playing some of the best football in Europe right now), have great relationships with many top players and ex players, and his record against top team at psg is impressive having beaten real Madrid, Barcelona, bayern Munich, juventus and Manchester city, just to name a few. So even his time at psg which many sees as a bad compared to the time at spurs still offers a great cv for any top club with ambitionPoch has a more accomplished CV?
What has he won? The Top 4 Cup?
Still haven't posted the chart I told you to that showed that no mid table club outspent poch at spurs. Or do I have to show you the financial chart?
It definitely is in retrospect now that Poch has failed to get the best out of the player. It was a difficult task sure but that's his job.
In a discussion on his suitability to turn things around at United it's certainly a black mark.
Please, I know you have no sense of shame of self respect but stop. We're not playing the best football of anything, we're just winning against garbage teams for the sole reason that Neymar, Mbappé and Messi are fit at the same time. We played 2 decent teams recently (Nice and Monaco) and lost both games including an horrific performance in the 3-0 loss against Monaco.
I like how you’re trying to give a reasonable explanation like it’s going to do anything.
There's literally PSG fans on this thread telling him he's talking shite
I feel we need more background to Amedeus' love for Pochettino.
Pochettino might need a restraining order for this guy.
At this point I cannot help but put on a tin foil hat to think this must be the longest con ever to consolidate the majority of the Caf's opposition to Poch.
I think you may be the only person in the entire world who considers winning Ligue 1 with PSG this impressive. Absolutely stunning level of delusion. It is also the first significant trophy (well second after Coupe de France but that’s like halfway there when you are this resourceful) of Poch’s career so not that impressive (I know you count French Supercup as a serious trophy but I don’t).
Winning Eredivisie with Ajax is much harder, at least you face competition from teams with comparable resources. ETH’s trophy haul is also so much better and wider.

Benzema, Modric, Kroos and others says hi.
Surely you can see Amadaeus is just playing a character now.
Marseille is a garbage team? Real Madrid (first leg) a garbage team? Lille a garbage team? Manchester city a garbage team? I can list many more if you want.
Another good victory today and psg should have score more but their finishing has been poor which is a theme present the entire season. As stated, I don't know much top team playing better than psg at the moments. Perhaps only Manchester city and Liverpool.
Dreadful game tonight. One of the worst in a long time.
This is because your head is stuffed entirely up Poch's arsehole so as to more efficiently huff his farts. There are several teams playing better than PSG at the moment - and even if there weren't then it's again a typical Poch side that does well when there's no pressure.
Agreed. It was a masterclass today, no shots in entire 2nd half was the ultimate proof that PSG are playing some great football.
At this point, are we sure it's not just a very elaborate troll?
I would love some kind of origins story.
That is how you present stat in a meaningless manner. Psg scored a goal in the second half but was ruled offside and also had a chance with mbappe in on goal only for him to bottle that chance and not pass it to an open neymar who would have scored. Other than that it was a well manage game where Marseille didn't have much chance in the second half either, so football is much more than black and white and the complex nature seem difficult for some to grasp
Amadeus is same person who was GlastonSpurs.
It was not funny then and it is not funny now.
It just drag down quality of the forum.
