I only blame him for still persisting with Winks and Sanchez.

These two are fucking weaklings of a liability in the squad. They should never be near in the match day squad at any times.

Wake up Mourinho.

I'm not just trolling for once. I seriously don't get it. He was bought in to solidify the team, sort out the defence, give us some fight and win a trophy. I thought it would work. But we still concede all the time, can't defend a free kick, never go down or just clear the ball when we need to. So where's the advantage from him?
Ffs, we scored more than 5 goals in each of the previous 3 matches before today.

If Sanchez was not stupid enough to defend those crosses with those nods and Winks being smarter in defending that final ball, we probably wouldn't see your post until you got another chance when we had a hiccup.

Wake up Mourinho.

We don't have too many other options. Dier was out today, as was Lo Celso. If we need to make subs or rotate - which we do - then they will inevitably play.

With those back, plus maybe Rodon, it's a different story.

He's going to have to get the blame cause that's the position he is in. Woeful to give the game away from 3 up.

Not making this Pochettino vs Mourinho because we have suffered results like this so many times before but I thought we had eradicated these types of performances under Poch, why have they crept back in?

True, the attacking plays been good. It's devastating because this side is so close. But the defending would not be acceptable at West Ham, let alone here. I'm not asking for miracles. I'm asking for occasional clean sheets and rarely conceding set pieces. If Jose had achieved that we'd be top of the league.

I put this draw down to Jose why so many changes ? much harder for new people to get into the game .
He makes changes to keep people fresh and to keep people happy but the goals were from 2 set pieces and an own goal and we had chances to make it 4-2, disappointing but we didn’t lose because of the subs he made.

So far this season we've let in 13 goals. At Chelsea his team let in 15 all year. That's the Jose I hope to see. And no, it wasn't a world class defence, it had Glen Johnson, William Gallas, Ricardo Carvalho and Wayne Bridge. It was brilliant, brilliant management.

Gallas was a real leader at the back though, a winner.
Probably why I suspect dier is first choice CB , purely for mentality rather than ability

Should've never subbed of Tanguy. Lost control of the game the minute he was subbed for Winks.

Probably the only error of judgement he made today, but it was a massive one.

A lot has changed over the last couple of seasons. It was only a few weeks ago that people were complaining that they would rather watch paint dry than a Mourinho side and now people are complaining because the defence is looking shaky but everyone is much happier with the style going forward. Clearly we are not yet where we need to be - it’s going to take a while to reach that point.

We saw him at Spurs though. He wasn't good enough to do that on his own. Jose made the difference. Either he's got something wrong or he thinks they're genuinely uncoachable, in which case it needed to be a transfer priority rather than a kid on deadline day.

We should have enough in us and our squad to not lose 3 goals on the basis of one substitution.

We've already missed out on an FA Cup, a Champions League, and likely now a Premier League. It's been 11 months and he's had big investment. I'd be more willing to reserve judgement if it was going forwards rather than backwards.

I 100% agree with you. This should have never happened even if Jose subbed one of us on in midfield. But it was the catalyst that lead to it.

Even a fucked Tanguy was still beating 3 players for fun and putting in tackles

I understand your point but I'm taking a 10% Tanguy over a 100% Winks every time.

Possibly, although I'm not gonna totally blame dropping points on our lack of midfield but it sure contributed to it.

Any other time Lo Celso plays with or replaces Ndombele

I don’t understand what you mean. How are we going backwards?
