Fair and balanced article

I don't think he will part ways with us and if he does that will be a real shame because a season is measured over a 38 game period and if we end up 5th or even 6th lets also not forget we got into 1 cup final and a semi final i really don't see what more he could have done, all managers and squads take time to build and Gel, and we are seeing that the squad obviously love him and reference him in interviews. Time to get behind Poch in my view

Well you covered most points in the article and I found myself nodding along with you (not falling asleep).

I must pull you up on one point since the 2015/16 season & Conte which was injury free with Conte naming the same starting 11 for most games, Chelsea has become injury central for the premiership.

As for Poche’s training causing injuries most of what you’re describing would be termed injury set backs during the come back phase of the rehabilitation and I see no evidence Poche has rushed players back causing more injuries.

In fact Poche seems to wrap injured players in cotton wool and most of the comments re the injuries relating to training are hearsay.

Still a good article I enjoyed it but please do your research on the injury issues it’s worth not just reading someone’s ill informed opinion because they didn’t like working hard in training.

Pochettino is answering your questions now Simon! I have no doubts now, despite the lack of fan connection and poor PR. But other than those two, no doubt on Pochettino being given a second season! 4 wins in a row which should have been 5, and 4th in the form table in 22 games! What more can you ask of him now? Poch back in for me!

Not one mention of a record Breaking 61 goals conceded this season? Wow. I think that is pretty important to mention, instead of just saying we have scored a lot of goals. If you score a lot of goals, but let goals fly in, whats the point?
