Jose Mourinho - SACKED

[Danishfurniturelover]

I’ve not seen the xG yet but I’d be surprised if ours wasn’t a full point higher.

Are you trolling this xg rubbish. Football is not played like that, agree with the rest of your post.

A few more experienced players and we would have gone through.

 

[Trixster]

The football wont be what you or I like for sure.

But given time I imagine we will be higher up the league. Also think he will bring in some bastards to help.

Guess we'll have to wait and see but I'm not sure how much torture my eyes can take for the style, or lack of, that we have nowadays
I don't hate Jose, not keen on him and didn't really want him for us but he is here now so I'll try and support him as much as possible - but GHod has he got to change his style to match the club too.

Well I think we should give the new manager time to turn the squad round. I get some hate the guy. But this squad has been playing badly for a year. It is finished and needs new younger and hungry players.

I don't hate him, he's not who I would have picked but I don't hate him.
But as I've said for over a year now it's not the manager, it's the players. They've lost it, desire, heart, will to win, call it what you want but whatever we had has gone.

I agree. Said in a few threads I would go for younger players.

I liked the idea of the RB leipzig manager. I feel if we have a DNA that would be it.

Joses excuses tonight were weak and IMO ore planned
He played Vorm... a pub player now who was retired not that long ago
He literally dropped a clanger and cost us the game
Yet again he picks players who are brain dead with the basics

So what's Jose's excuse for because this lot look fudged in every game. But we don't press the way we used to, our intensity is crap and we've signed four new players since the summer.

They're still fudged.

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Why he had lost it at the end, ran the players into the ground till they physically broke down.

That what players should be doing for us, what he didn't get is replacements that he could run into the ground as well.

They did quite well at running into the ground while knowing what to do, it works.

 

[Yiddo]

Mourinho was protecting his players, something alot of people moaned about him not doing at United.

I prefer weak.
Look at Lo celso tonight, you could see he was struggling towards the end, but he kept trying, he was forcing his legs to keep pumping.
The only ones we've got left with that desire and self respect are Harry, dele, Dier and Son.
Most of the rest are pussies looking to coast.
They've taken the spurs don't win trophies narrative and used it as an excuse to stop tryi g.

Have a choice of a semi retired pub player or a pub player in goal

We desperately need a new keeper in the summer - Butland would be a decent number 2 unless he’s completely gone down hill.

As I said in the match thread gedson has to start - he tries to move the ball quickly

Im done with Winks - everything is over complicated with him

Agree with all of this. Gazza is fudging horrible and Vorm is slightly less horrible. Shows how important Hugo is to us. If he was fit in the last week we'd be three points better off and in the next round of the cup.

Gedson deserves more minutes too. He's been very impressive recently even if his penalty was spinelessly bad.

Gazza hasn’t dropped the ball in like that has he?
And Vorm was doing it twice in the same game
Their is no excuse for that call in playing Vorm

I think Gedson is struggling with the pace of the PL. He looks like a talent but not yet ready to be a regular starter. Next season definitely. Ndombele is actually the one Jose must get a tune out of. The Guy, even with fitness issues looks like he could really control our tempo.

Fudging hope we go for broke against Leipzig nothing to lose now

But not playing CM. He has to play in front as he offers nothing defensively

Don’t do it to yourself.

We. Have. No. Hope.

Off top of head his errors

2 Sunday
Chelsea
United
Norwich

Plus his complete reluctancy to leave his line

Jose is strange. Gets us playing OK for a little bit, but then sits back with the weakest "block" ever.
Our forwards don't have a clue whether to press or not, just one guy running and 3 scratching their heads.

Then at some point BOOM we go nuts and start flying into Norwich, desperately scrambling against time to score... bizarre coaching. Bizarre tactics.

There was one point in the second half where Lucas (I think) initiated a press and others followed before the midfield all just fell back. Shows a level of disorganisation and confusion for me.

For the final 10 minutes of the 90 tonight I thought we showed that we could be a good team under a forward thinking, attacking manager. We have a number of good attacking players but have a manager who seems to shape us to play deep, defensive, counter attack football.
