Over the last 3 games we've lost every half we've played negative and won every half we've tried to actually play a bit.

If we could just play like we did in the second half all the time we’d be doing ok, definitely didn’t deserve to lose that game.

We’re awful......


The position we’re in now is mostly thanks to the board. I’ve defended them for years but Poch did warn them at least 3 years ago that this could happen and they did nothing

But Mourinho once again somehow manages to convince the majority of the fanbase that this is the only way we can play blablabla. Norwich & Burnley not Barca & Real have more control of the games than us. The way we’re playing is embarrassing but I would be okay with it if we won/win every week but we haven’t and won’t even if Kane and Son was available. Mourinho doesn’t know how to set up a attack he just tries to counter attack and hopes for individual brilliance which you can’t do in this day of age if you want to be a top team. And in his first week all he talked about was how much he loves this squad but he then should’ve known Rose & Wanyama is finished, that Dier probably will never be as good as he was, that we have no back up to Kane so he has to play every game and that him getting injured isn’t unlikely, that we have no DM etc so that’s why it’s so tiring hearing him complain all the time

And lastly Jose objectives in these 3 years is to win the CL or League and if he doesn’t he has failed. People talk about if he wins a cup he has succeeded with us, yes it would be great to win a cup but Jose was appointed to win the big trophies and I would be very surprised if he did that

Jose has been finished at this level since 2015

GLC is a good player but far too casual for me. Twice at the end he very nearly gave the point away ala Eriksen at City. No excuse after only playing a half. As for the rest of the team, I think second half we were set up sensibly, put some pressure on, but didn't make enough clear-cut chances to win the game. It was better, but not good enough for a squad with this much proven ability.

If we had Son and Kane available, we’re winning that comfortably. Burnley were shit in the second half. Others will refuse to see that though.

So much better second half - you have to wonder why we set up to not play football from the start.

The only reason I can think of is we can't football without Lo Celso and we need him Tuesday.

COYS!
