    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    Yep - my bad - Sorry chaps Though I think the point stands - impressions arent always accurate. I think we have done better than people think for the most part, though Chelsea was indeed a bad one.

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    From the BBC repots SCBC Possession 59% Shots 11 (vs 12) On Target 5 (vs 3) Corners 9 (vs 6) Norwich Possession 59% Shots 15 (vs 5) On Target 7 (vs 2) Corners 6 (vs 4) I think the Norwich game started badly, but we finished strong. However that bad start is clouding the judgement a bit...

    Director would ‘place’ forward at Everton or Tottenham – He’s no longer ‘non-transferable’ By Sean Lunt - 2nd January 2020 Everton and Tottenham have been named as potential destinations for Roma attacker Cengiz Ünder. Roma are looking to add to their squad in the January transfer market but...

    I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

    And then very shortly after that off the team sheet because he is back in the treatment room... Thats why I dont think he will ever be more than a squad player for us. And I wouldnt be at all surprised if we decided he isnt really reliable for that either, and opt to sell him on (assuming...

    Jan Vertonghen

    I dont know the dates, but he said before the Brighton game (I think) that he had an eye on a week in Jan, and possibly a week in Feb to work on the players like a mini-pre season. I think its desperately needed! Sunday 5th January Middlesbrough A Saturday 11th January Liverpool H ** Week...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    The nature of games under Mourinho has been better. We seem to start poorly but recover well in the second half (particularly, if not before) and have the resilience to recover wins/draws. Under Pochettino is was basically the opposite. Started well then collapsed as soon as it ran against...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    I think we certainly do have one of the best squads in the league. That doesnt mean Jose didnt inherit a huge mess though does it? Do people really expect him to click his fingers and everything will be hunky dory? Considering what he started with, 1.78ppg is bloody good, IMO. And...

    The transfer window thread.

    This is largely why I dont think we need to directly replace Eriksen. In position/area of the pitch/skillset (sort of) we already have. And if we do try and replace him, it throws the balance of the midfield right off and leaves me wondering what will be for players like that.

    Jan Vertonghen

    I think of the long ball as a "needs must" short term solution. Much like most of Joses work so far given he hasnt had the time to bed his ideas into the players. There are spells where we gel, and suddenly its one and two touch pass and move and looks great. Get under pressure again/out of...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    I think things are quite different, personally. We can go at length with it, but ultimately I suspect neither of us really want to. Short version - things were falling apart under Poch, slowly they are coming together again (IMO). I stand by the view that management certainly is/was a big...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    You can only beat whats in front of you. There arent extra bonus points for playing better teams. I could equally argue while Poch had a harder run - Mourinho was starting with a broken and dispirited side - at a real disadvantage. Point being, we can argue endlessly the minutia of it all...

    Fabio Paratici - Consultant

    Im still pretty convinced (hopeful?!) that Campos is the man. I suspect itll be the case that we sort something out in time for summer, probably to soon for him to be useful this window and he likely has commitments to Lille. After this window, get him in, get ready for Summer...

    The Official 2019/20 Premier League Thread

    Which is precisely why I am not (yet) in favour of us going for Howe to manage the team. He needs to iron out their lack of consistency, their lack of ability to grind out games. They lost 4-0 yesterday and it comes as no surprise. Equally, had they won 4-0, no surprise either. They need to...

    Jose Mourinho - SACKED

    We have 30pts. Mourinho won us 16 of them in 9 games (1.78 ppg). Poch was at 14 pts in 12 (1.17 ppg). Mourinho is already outperforming Poch, despite having no time with the players, and despite being dropped in mid season. He doesnt have the luxury of experience and knowledge of the...
