Jose Mourinho - SACKED

I think saying 4th was guaranteed is wide of the mark - we've been scraping by most of our games and I'd imagine eventually results would have caught up with us with or without Son/Kane. We might have stumbled our way there though as our 'competition' for it are all as out of sorts as we are.
Football isn't great and performances aren't consistent but i don't expect any different with what he has to work with.

We just about got over the line last season and we didnt add any players ready to go in the summer, so I am not sure its a great shock if we miss out.
I hope he just uses the rest of the season to suss out who he needs to sell in the summer.
Absolutely no reason to rush Kane back now.

I dont think 4th (or 5th) and therefore CL football is written off just yet, however this result puts pressure on the other games til kane is back. Wolves at home next Sunday for example is a biggie, as is Man U at home later in March

And then Mourinho says he was proud of the team. Wow.
I did warn u in the other thread lol. They played how he asked.
I’ve been thinking about it.
When your 2 highest scorers from the last 5 years are injured and you decide to leave out the 3rd highest scorer from that period, I’m not sure it leaves u much mileage to complain.

3rd highest scorer who hasn’t scored without one of those two playing

For me this is a positive, I don’t completely buy that he’s changed but if he has that would be a good thing. United was horrendous for throwing players under the bus.

Little evidence to suggest that. It hasn’t been great for the most part - but not that bad.
Think we were like 3 points off 5th and his first 2 league games were West Ham and Bournemouth.

We were 12 points behind Chelsea

I know but we look so disjointed and offensively stupid!
Yes, two big players missing but his demeanour is terribly defeated!
Praising his squad comes over as half-arsed press talk IMHO
14th sounds better for his point though

If he criticises the team the press (and plenty of our fans) will be quick to say he’s throwing players under the bus.

JM has no other option but to praise the players - at least for their guts. To ask a patched up side to play three hard games in 6 days was always a tough ask.
StephenH
David Ginola
yes but when he does praise the players it just sounds so false, almost like he has to say it as it's expected and he can hardly have a go at them?
I hope I'm wrong but Jose seems like he's out of his comfort zone/depth with a none elite club.

12 points behind Chelsea if your prefer.
