I just don't see them getting top 4 with Arsenal and Newcastle being as strong as they are. To make matters worse Liverpool have addressed their midfield issues, and who knows what will happen with Chelsea, it's not like their squad lacks talent and Poch is a good manager (don't let his PSG stint fool you)
I wouldn't be worried about that so much as the last 18 months of his Tottenham stint. People forget because the CL final appearance (which was a fluke) papered over the cracks, but that team was putting out terrible underlying numbers for a long time (even though the results didn't always reflect this due to world-class finishers in Kane and Son).
I'm still not writing him off or anything, he's done enough in his early career and the first couple of years in Tottenham to deserve a bit of faith, but there are more question marks than just the dysfunctional PSG period.
