I blame him for not getting the players we have today better ready to play Southampton.
Ron, my old dog Ledley used to sit, play fetch with me, the works. He’s getting on now and he’s refusing to do either of those things.

Mate, are you telling me that if I put you in a room with Ledley and you told him to sit, play fetch, etc, he’d do it for you?

I said Poch made these players look better than they are and he should be last out the door at the time the pressure was on, but the mob on this site declared him a flukey manager who could only motivate and mourhino the winner would get this top top squad winning big games :LOL:
He said the squad needed rebuilding and the time to do it but the pitch forks were out in force, rebuild the squad?? This is the best squad we've had they said, Poch is just making excuses lol

Well enjoy Jose, Absolute has been of a manager who's best days of tactically being superior are well over
While some of your points I agree with, you seem to overlook that Poch bought Aurier, Glc, sessignon, ndombele, all of whom have so far been pretty awful or broken.
Whether Jose succeeds here or not remains to be seen, but one thing is certain, its unfair to put the blame for this mess at his door, I think we could easily be in a relegation fight if he hadn't won those early games.... We are in a right mess, and need a long term rebuild, this isn't going to be a quick fix.

Your Ledley is not Moura, Dele, Kane, Eriksen, Toby and Verts

Feel like he was brought in to squeeze every last drop of our current squad, maybe scrape top 4 and/or an FA cup.

However, it's looking increasingly likely that this squad is just dusted and we need a massive rebuild. Unfortunately, I'm not sure he's the man to lead a full squad upheaval...

Don't really blame Jose but this is the final moment for ENIC to try and redeem themselves for the last few windows. Highly doubt we'll buy anyone though to be honest.
A rebuild was always the primary objective, but we all know Levy. He got rid of the best manager we've had in decades, the perfect man to rebuild a team. Levy went with Mourinho a man decorated but all done with massive financial backing, we all know Levy.

Fucking hell. Just read his comments on Ndombele. It's already starting to fall apart, isn't it?

Anyone blaming Mourinho for that is a fucking moron.

Is it Jose’s fault that Lloris dislocated his elbow, leaving us with a goalkeeper who not only happens to be the shittest keeper in the league but also someone who only signed for spurs because he was from the same town as Pochettino.

is it Jose’s fault that we’ve allowed Danny Rose to hold the club to ransom when he himself must know he is WELL past it?

Is it Jose’s fault that Ben Davies picked up a serious injury in his first game as our manager?

Is it Jose’s fault that Vertonghen is absolutely past his best and the club have failed to sign a left sided centre back since we sold Wimmer?

Is it Jose’s fault that the brainiacs above him decided to sign Aurier as Walker’s replacement when Pereira was available and happy to join us?

is it Jose’s fault that we allowed Dembele to leave the club without adequately replacing him in January 2019?

Is it Jose’s fault that Son decided to get sent off for pure stupidity once again?

Is it Jose’s fault that the club didn’t sign a back up for Harry Kane, for instances like today where he gets injured?

If you blame him for any of those things, you’re a fucking idiot.

I agree that it would be unfair to blame Jose and im of th eopinion we blame the plahyers but I also said that when Poch was here. The question is how many would blame the players today that blamed Poch before he got fired?

I blame Levy for not allowing us and Poch in particular to strengthen and refresh the squad.

I would also say that whilst I dont blame Jose for where we are at present id have expected him to have made real impact and have some kind of identity forming in how we are playing. At the moment i dont have a damn clue what we are trying to do.

"Of course it is a concern, you think you have a player, you think the player is in an evolution process, he plays very well against Norwich, you think today he is ready for it and he is not ready for it."

He’s got a point- maybe worth airing in private though

[

"He [Ndombele] is always injured," Mourinho told reporters following the defeat to Southampton.

"He is injured, he is not injured; he plays one match, the next week he is injured, he plays another match.

"We are full of hopes and this is since the beginning of the season.

"Of course it is a concern, you think you have a player, you think the player is in an evolution process, he plays very well against Norwich, you think today he is ready for it and he is not ready for it.

"I cannot say much more than that because it is a situation that comes from the beginning of the season."
