Yes we were awful. We are maybe not as bad but it’s not far off. Just don’t think he’s the man for the job. Squad needs an overhaul. I think Levy went for the option of thinking Jose could squeeze more out of it which he looks like he can’t.

The guy needs time
Poch first season we were not flying and he inherited some decent hungry players
He had time and made us IMO the best side in the country for 2 years (yes with no trophies)
Time is key but football is sup short term
You don't appoint a manager like him to give time to, you appoint him for instant impact
Yes it can be said about the short term nature of thinking but for me this is not it. There were marked differences I think Poch was a younger manager on the up. Looks like Jose is on the downward turn. Plus there’s some staleness to this squad . It needs a fairly sizeable overhaul and I’d rather see another manager on the up with something to prove to do it. Who I don’t know but it’s just tepid at the moment.

The last transfer window under him we got Bergwijn, who he has come out and admitted wasn't his signing https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...teven-bergwijn-not-first-choice-a4476476.html
Then there is Gedson Fernandes. A guy who wasn't getting in the Benfica team anymore. His agent is Jorge Mendes (Mourinho's agent and mate). So he's now at Spurs in the shop window trying to get his transfer value up. We will never pay his £50m+ transfer fee. All we are doing is giving development time to a Mendes player. Like we are some sort of Belgian feeder club.
Imagine a full summer window of this. With no spending money. Levy unable to shift deadwood because no one bar 6 or 7 Superclubs have any money. Emirates Marketing Project and Chelsea aren't gonna be coming in for Sissoko and Aurier. And Levy would be insane to sell Son or Kane at the bottom of the market.
The only way out of financial mess we are in during the next few years is playing youth. Mourinho is not the manager for that.

Not blaming Jose for this mess but he’s not cut out for a rebuild and the game has moved on since he dominated the game. Teams at the top don’t play counter attacking anti football aside from Atletico Madrid. Most of the top teams like Liverpool, Bayern, City, Barca etc play fast, aggressive and attacking football. The game has moved on from the days of nicking 1-1’s away from home

He had instant impact then got BIG injuries that changed everything
He had a new manager bounce then things went back to normal

What injuries to his only available strikers...
That’s not normal even for us
We have always managed to have 2 fit before we binned of Llorente

He gave a good interview to the BBC. Very obvious what he thought of the disallowed goal but he was fairly scathing of our mental strength and level of commitment second half.
He said “the last two goals were a consequence of our state of mind.”
I’m not usually one for “he should fudging give them a rocket” but he needs to give them a rocket. Some of what I saw tonight was beyond unacceptable.

If we sack him then our small transfer budget turns into no budget at all.... or perhaps even a negative one...
What half decent manager will take over a club with a budget of zero?

that will be the exit of CE, who we haven’t replaced.
absolutely no link play and brain dead forward play

I honestly think we had more chances against Brighton mate.

My worry is the only time we look dangerous is when we hoof it forward and get on the second ball. It is the only way we ever have an attack where we are playing behind the oppositions midfield.

we had quite a few breaks in the first half today, once they had the lead Sheffield were very deep when out of possession

I want success and it can come with whoever?
Jose looks so detached and almost going through the motions.
if he turns it round Then good on him!
but I won’t tell you to stop sharpening
