Just wondering how far we can actually go this season....and with Liverpool 4-1 down to Villa and Man C looking a shambles, dare we dream?!?!
The concern obviously is CB. It doesnt feel like we'll sign anyone, so would need our current crop to step up....
Don’t hog all that pie, save me some!As I said elsewhere, if I get to wear a giant omelette on my boat come the end of the season I will be delighted. I think what is clear is that he has found a way to give us several points of attack, and we cannot ignore the fact that for the first time since Walker/Rose we have FBs who are fast, attacking mentalists. It makes us a nightmare to mark. Bale to come. No LoCelso today either. No Bergwijn. Well done to Mourinho and Levy. Questions needed answering, and they have stepped right up and answered them. My humble pie tastes delicious, although I will say that for me, this was always about whether Levy was going to give him what he needed. I think I am even starting to l-l-lo-like(!) Mourinho!
A consistent team might just do it this year and I think consistency is something Jose excels at, he can be relentless.Just wondering how far we can actually go this season....and with Liverpool 4-1 down to Villa and Man C looking a shambles, dare we dream?!?!

One signing changed the mind set and belief and he hasn’t kicked a ball for us yetA consistent team might just do it this year and I think consistency is something Jose excels at, he can be relentless.
im stunned at the turnaround since Everton, which was about as low as I’ve felt for a long time, prob since the Utd FA cup semi final under Poch.

Don’t forget COVIDAgreed about the turnaround - its ridiculous. I was writing the season off, preparing to try to not care about games in order to avoid getting wound up and angry etc. I thought Jose would be gone by xmas.
We're a different team now, and the signings of Bale, Reguilon and Vinicius give a real sense of optimism too and we have real strength in depth in most positions

Just look at the CBS of the teams above us though.... some shockers up thereTop 4 is very gettable. I’d be gutted if we didn’t tbh. CB is the obvious weakness in the team. Not a huge fan of Dier but I’ll admit he’s improving. Sanchez is going the other direction. Hasn’t improved after one excellent season. 1 good season out of 3 isn’t a great ratio and hasn’t started this season well either. Get a top CB and we can have a good challenge for the league.
Exactly...if we can sign Skriniar...it might give us an edge?Just look at the CBS of the teams above us though.... some shockers up there
He does like his signings. And if there's money to be spent that can strengthen the team he will spend it, like most managers.The signing have made such a difference.
I said earlier in this thread that Mourinho is a checkbook manager. But with Covid he will never get the chance to prove me wrong because we wont be doing any business.
The unexpected signings have been magnificent.
He's already done much more than I thought he was capable of anymore.
I’d say we have an edge with our attacking options TBFExactly...if we can sign Skriniar...it might give us an edge?

Look at the goals we have conceded and it’s 3 penalties of which today’s is the only real one (the others two were because of a rule change which will affect every team)
A great header from DCL and Ings goal which was very good too
A Skrinar would be welcome make no mistake but we’re no as bad as I think we believe some times

Our attacking options are great but other teams will equally shout about theirs.I’d say we have an edge with our attacking options TBF
