I wish I didn't add those labels because they weren't the point. The point was demonstrating the upwards trajectory he was asking me to demonstrate. I make no arguments on whether or not our achievements are sufficient or acceptable.

I had heard that since you had a life sized picture of the stadium tattooed on your arse, there wasn't room left for anything else, but clearly I was wrong.
If anyone wonders what the large gapping hole in the middle is, it's our defence

Much better second half. Which proves we can play well. Strange that we don't do that from the off. Now, I'm not so sure I can blame Jose, as easy as that would be. We have maybe 5 top quality players, the rest are just good (ish) at best, and very very average. Most of our team have hit their ceiling. I honestly don't think even Jose can get any more out of them as they are simply not good enough and never will be. Top players are not just good, they are consistently good.

But we don't look to recruit top players that is another problem.

Tell that to David Moyes, who has Craig Dawson, Issa Diop and Aaron Cresswell in the Champions League places

The thing is, he HAS deviated from what many have labelled his "brand of Football." We are currently more attacking and have greater possession against the teams we are expected to. The only deviation from this has been City, and anyone in their right mind wouldn't expect us to dominate possession against them.
The results have been mixed, but he's got us more front foot.
We have a run of very winnable games coming up, hopefully providing much needed points and, more importantly, much needed confidence.
We need to keep our powder dry here. If we don't see an improvement then yes, his position would likely be untenable.

One thing that struck me from the Amazon documentary is the luxurious environment the players rest and train in. Everyone sits around the cafe area and its all a bit matey, from Chairman to junior player. Personally I don't think that is a particularly healthy environment to produce motivated and tough players. I think we are soft and that is reflected in our performances. Most teams we play against seem much more up for it.

I think that we (our team) should win game against WU regardless but number of games that we loose by tiny margins , and unlucky events is staggering (second goal today, Son heel offside vs liverpool)
I would think that board should contract one of Adebayor bad Juju specialist.

Yeah they were a bonus and shouldn't take away from the general point which was demonstrating the upward trajectory. Think of it like the "+4 Free" chocolates Thortons sometimes add to their gift boxes

No. I typed the number of free chocolates you'd get but somehow Excel thought that meant world class training and venue facilities. It has always been slightly overeager in interpreting the data inputted. Mostly gets it right but sometimes it means you don't get chocolates.
