Sissoko being moved to the middle where he can touch the ball more is not the answer some people think it is. Leave N'dombele deeper and give him someone to pass at up front.

It might stop them running through us like a hot knife through butter though

He's like Firmino but really shit.
There is a player in there. I just don't think anyone really flourishes playing the way Mourinho plays. We have seen him score, he is good on the ball, has pace and can put in a good ball but he seems to be stifled by our turgid tactics.

Saw it coming a mile off.

3 at the back worked once against Sheff Utd and that would have been somewhat due having Aurier and Reg bombing on.

Why would you go 3 at the back with Sissoko and Davies as your wing backs?

Absolutely amateur hour from Mourinho once again.

Yeah, I said the same in the team Vs thread.
Davis as a lb or on the bench for me.

This team is just all over the place, and not in the places they should be...

Jose talks a good game but unfortunately it’s usually after we get beat, but hey ho we are only 1 goal behind let’s go

Mourinho will not admit it's this new 3-4-3 system that is shit as then it means Liverpool was his fault and not Aurier / Dier / Doherty's fault.
The problem is Jose ! AND a lot of the players simply aren’t good enough too don’t pretend they are

Let's just bring Alfie on and see what happens ?

In all seriousness (I'm not suggesting he is) but this is like a match where the manager is towards the end of his reign. Really worrying.

A poor performance to say the least. No chemistry/cohesion whatsoever. Tactically, off the ball support is awful. Skill wise, weight of passes were inconsistent, first touch on those passes that were good was also inconsistent. There is a clear mentality issue with this team.

We're losing the game cause we only have 2 players in midfield. Just like Liverpool they're running straight through to our back line just like Liverpool did.

I have much more confidence in Ndombele or Bale creating a goal than anyone else right now.
Bergwijn didn't do anything with the ball.

Get control of the game by going to a back 4 with 3 in the middle and free up Ndombele and Bale to influence the game more.
Mate I hate 3 CB's I have always been critical of it.

Mourinho is very much past it & we have alot of problems on the pitch, yes. But I think with every passing day, it gets more & more obvious what the real problem is at this club.

No coach could get a decent tune out of these players. They are pulling the same shit that got Poch sacked.
