Totally agree Luke.

Poch has been a disappointment and I will shed no tears if he leaves in the summer.

But my main ire is directed towards the arrogant owners and so-called sporting directors.

I have just looked at the team selection vs Everton and my thoughts are - Jesus we have spent a £1 billion and that is the best we can do. To describe that team as average is being generous to a fault.

And before people start carping on about injuries, let me say this - if you buy injury-prone players that excuse just doesn't wash.

So for a £1 billion we have a rotational GK who is actually not great but better than our no 1.

We have back 4 leaking 2 goals a game

We still have no DM

Our forward line is Madueke, Jackson and Mudryk - no elite striker there, no elite winger either.

And £1 billion spent - it beggars belief.

To get back to the point of the article say we had bought Martinez (GK) Trossard, Onana and Ward-Prowse instead of the likes of Mudryk, Lavia, and Sanchez we would be a hell of a lot better off.

So yes, no props for Poch, but the bigger problem is the owners and the SDs which is what I think I take from the article.
