Two options really 1) Sack off all our bad eggs, make do with what's left and rebuild in January/Summer 2) sack off Poch and probably still salvage this season. No idea which option is better.

Disagree, Poch keeps playing same shit formation and asking players to do stupid jobs that don’t suit them.

Why can’t he just play 4-2-3-1, where did this weird obsession with the frankly shit 4-3-1-2 / 4-1-2-1-2 come from?

Poch has also been really annoying in press in recent times saying some downright stupid stuff.
Recent as in the last 6 months?

Tactics and unmotivated players doesn't come from the chairman. I know what you're trying to get at but 2-7 at home is on Poch alone.
Half those players shouldnt be in our team anymore. Poch has wanted them replaced for a long time. Levy refusing to change his ways to get players off and refusing to invest on the pitch is the underlying cause of this garbage.

I really don’t want him to go mainly because I can guarantee he will be at united in a few months. But we’ve seen this before, once results start getting humiliating only one way it ends
You just know he'll go there, be given full backing, and accomplish what he should have accomplished here. Unfortunately our disgraceful transfer business -- whether it's Levy's fault for not spending of Poch's fault for being stubborn -- caught up with us and meant that things went to shit before he could salvage it. I don't see how he can dig his way out of the hole but you just know that by sacking him we'll be strengthening a rival and knocking ourselves down a notch. Sickening to think about.

Kovac puts Thiago on at halftime and changes the game completely, Poch responds half an hour later with Eriksen and does exactly the same thing - give Bayern and advantage.

Then don't fucking play them. Sideline them and pick youth that will fight for you. But let's be honest, no one wants to fight for him anymore.

Before we go full on for Poch’s head should we consider that 3 players who aren’t necessarily performing are potentially off on a free on January and a few players also not performing were on the for sale list in the summer?

A lot of poor performers not likely to be here for the long run isn’t something to make changes on. Agree that the selection and tactics are questionable at the moment but the players in that selection are also questionable as to their motivation and performance levels

that was the start of him believing his own hype. got too far ahead of himself. i’m sure he thought by know he’d be sunning himself in Madrid.
Hated it at the time and still hate it. From the moment that summer took off with his book tour ...

Only time will tell how much so, but this is damaging. Damaging to his reputation, damaging to his chances of getting this team back on course, but most importantly to Levy, damaging to the club's image. A lot is said about their good relationship, but Levy won't allow anyone to bring the club's image and value down. This is a major embarrassment.
