I had such high hopes when he got the job and it's a shame that it's got to this stage. I was absolutely behind his appointment and thought Levy did the right thing so for that i'm not going to blame him, but there's plenty of other stuff for which you can, but that's for another thread. It's a crying shame but it just hasn't worked out, it's one of those things, i'm not sure why people are having a go at those who defended him, especially now when this hurtful result has us all very raw, people's first instinct is to have a pop for supporting the guy? This has hurt all of us. But it will be a relief to see an end to the constant to and fro bickering, so there's that at least.

Anyway, sadly, after this I just can't see where we go with Mourinho other than a parting of the ways, it just hasn't worked.

I say he should have gone much earlier but I can totally see what Levy was going for, backed him in the transfer window and supported him through the earlier rough patches.

I was very much on the fence and prepared to give him the rest of the season - Not now. Get him gone. He’s finished at the top level. Blame the players all you want, but any manager starting Dier, Davies, Sissoko and Winks in a game of that magnitude deserves everything he gets
You can come in.

Starting Sissoko and Winks was a sackable offence for me on its own. There's absolutely no defending that tonight. Yes the players were fucking horrendous. But he picked em', he's supposed to motivate them, and the buck stops with him.

I'm shocked with that shit tonight.

There comes a point when you have to stop trying to see the best in people, and start seeing what they actually show you.
Football has has caught up with Jose and passed him by. Time to move on.

I fully expect Mourinho diss and disrespect us just to uplift himself in the post match interview like he did when United got knocked out by Sevilla

He’s a ****, can’t believe after all this there’s still some who still backs him

I think this must be the first time that the fanbase is almost entirely united in wanting the manager sacked. If Levy doesn’t do it then the people saying he’s under Jose’s spell will have been proven right (I wasn’t one of them).

International break provides the perfect opportunity to remove Jose and put a caretaker in place. Just not sure Levy has the bollocks to do it.

Have seen nothing from Jose that proves he deserves to be in charge. He looks like a boxer who stays in the game 2 or 3 fights too many and is a shell of himself. He was the "special" one but at present is just the "ordinary" one. Game has moved on and he has not.

Thing is (and I noted this long before it appeared on some youtube blog) all his records are falling at Spurs.
Tonight went his "played in it twice /won it twice"
You have to dissect things properly and I am coming to the conclusion that at his previous clubs he either started with top players or they were bought for him.
TBF he has been lumbered with Winks, Sissoko, Dire, Sanchez no need to add any more you all know.

I'm sick of his inconsistent football. I'm sick of him being proud of shit performances. When he plays to win I'll take the losses but I cant when he tries to nick wins. I fcuking hate it

I'd rather he went tonight than after the final. Having him out of the club might actually give the players a lift for the final.

I was previously of the opinion that he should be given until the end of the season but tonight was a new low in a season full of lows.

Honestly mate I don't have the vernacular to describe how low I feel at the moment, football is meant to be escapism from life's shitness but it's simply not that atm. I always want to be somebody who is behind the manager and I tell you what I actually like Jose as a human being but as manager as my club I don't think I want to risk another season of this. Another season of not enjoying actually watching football, another season of reading the rhetoric of the football world and how negative we are in our approach. All the constant repeats of the same arguments of a bi-weekly basis. People clinging on to battering teams from shit leagues to justify simply terrible football.

I'm also of the opinion that getting Champions League is so important this season because of Covid but I just don't see how that happens now.

There are at least two glaring problems at the club at the moment:

1. The squad players aren't even remotely good enough. The Winkssoko midfield is an absolute car crash and upgrades are clearly needed at fullback and CB.

2. This team has no fucking clue what it's doing in attack aside from moments of genius from individual players.

I don't see anything to suggest that fixing the former would solve the latter. Yes there are problems in the squad but it ultimately falls to the manager to ingrain some semblance of an identity in the team. We need to move in another direction.

Lo Celso I assume not ready to start, Hojbjerg banned, ndombele looked knackered v scum. Those 2 are what's left
