Jose Mourinho - SACKED

It's not drillled into them.

I've seen the Barca kids up close at youth tourneys and their Son's and Moura's always make angled runs in behind the full backs. Over and over and over. Drills. It is mind-muscle memory when they hit the senior teams.

When we break up the centre with support on either side they both make the same run, they run towards the ball, get too close, realise the mistake and peel out giving no support.
That's three errors!
Doesn't anyone go over this with them?

agreed it’s basic, one runs post the other corner, make the defenders move laterally too

Sometimes you need a roostery del boy type of prick who can just blag things.

Im beginning to think it does stem from the very top now.

On the whole i like living within our means but every now and again you need to take a leap in life.

I look at some of our signings when they come in and think great prospect, but is it make a profit on or to push the team on?

Did we buy Ndombele instead of fernades because he was a better prospect to make us money?
Same with sanchez, njie and the other French lad who's name escapes me.
Is that the trade off managers are working under?
One player for the team, one for Levy?

You could see the fear get worse the closer Sissoko got to the goal.
Lamela for me is waiting on someone to make a run, try and get in behind for a defence splitting pass. It's the same with Dele to some degree. I don't know how many times I've watched son and moura run onto the last man and stand arms out waiting on a ball to their feet so they can beat a man, run into the space behind ffs.

Lamela can't play that pass even if they had made that run.

I think we got NDombele as we could do the deal and he was one we really wanted
Lo Celso or Fernandes was the trade off but as we have said many times, we can’t play Lo Celso At 10 currently as no one can do his job in midfield

The one where he squared it for Bergwijn?

If so I felt the stick for that in the match thread was mainly because it was Sissoko, it was underhit but it did reach Bergwijn in a position where he could shoot, wasn’t the worst pass of the night, iirc Lo Celso attempted to play in Aurier within seconds of this and fudged it up to no derision (other than from me).

Lo Celso was diabolical today. I thought he was our worst player (yes even worse than Aurier, Davies and Sanchez)

I don’t think Lo Celso is a 10 (Eriksen didn’t really play 10 for us either.... he was the 11, who’s defensive job was tracking the opponents RB)

Classic Mourinho.
Really.
He is "learning about our meteorology" after 8 months?
His script is so predictable.
Never forget, he came in "happy" with the squad and having supposedly done his homework.

He’s always been a narcissist and will never change. I’d like to see him leave by mutual agreement at the end of the season and hire a progressive, younger head coach before Mou alienates our better playas

Yawn. His script isn’t as predictable as yours that’s for sure. Spurs win and you whinge about Mourinho, Spurs lose you whinge about Mourinho. Yes Mourinho is learning about his players, there are things you don’t see from the outside until you’re coaching them. You seriously complaining about him saying he’s happy with his squad? Your beloved saint Poch said he is ‘happy’ with his squad in just about every press conference I ever saw, despite you making constant excuses for him that he never gets the players he wants so what exactly is your point? Can imagine how you would have reacted if he had said he wasn’t happy with the squad. No matter what he does you are going to be here whinging about him, why you try and claim you are going to give him a fair shot I have no idea....

If YOU think Mourinho represents our club well, then all I can say is I'm glad you're happy.
His behaviour has caused me to not only say George Graham's name for the first time since he was here, but to also reflect on the fact that he had better decorum as our manager than this raging narcissist. And I really did
NOT like his football.

But again, if you're happy with him publicly throwing the side under the bus and admitting he saw it coming at HT, then I am delighted for you. But NOT for me.

But do you Not agree this is the same set of players that failed Poch?
And they have ability so it has to be something else surely?
Almost feels like players are treading water again water for another new manager

There are problems. That much is clear. It is up to a manager to either sort them out or fail.
Do you think the way Mourinho is handling it in public is the right way? And if so, why?

he rightly pulled up the whole teams mentality yesterday
He is right... their mentally weak. It’s why we never got anything over the line with Poch too (well a big part of it)
I doubt there is anything that he said there that he hadn’t already said to the players
I mean we genuine have players stealing a living at the club.
Was he wrong with what he said in your opinion?
Maybe he thinks tasing it publicly is the way to change that mindset because nothing else has worked for the last GHod knows how many years

I see.
He's doing it because he is trying to change the mindset, not to protect himself first (as he always has elsewhere whenever he got into hot water)?
If he saw that problem at HT he should've made subs and made his point that way. I think he is trumping a bit by saying he saw it coming at HT.

Do I disagree? I think players reflect their leaders.

How is it that I could look at that starting 11, know what he was trying to do and still know we'd lose?

But these are Pochs players don’t forget ... only one is Jose’s signing
Maybe they got used to a stain leadership style and can’t change. TBF most haven’t had many leaders to know how to adapt
This really isn’t new news. We have players who cannot play a game out for 90 minutes without switching off. It’s been that way here for as long as I can remember
