Its only a day ago Jose was saying he is happy with this squad and it only needs small changes!

I think he might be telling porkies.

I just don’t think the manager is the whole problem. Surely the players can’t be happy with themselves.

Bit of a cliche, but can we afford not to? We're already lost Champions League football. We might even up losing Europa League football. How much does a solid EL run revenue bring in vs his pay off?


Looking at our run in we are in serious danger of finishing bottom half of the table.

Let's be real.

It's been strange decision after strange decision from Mourinho.

Just look at the back 4, who honestly would have predicted that line up 5 months ago.

It's so hard because you'd put it down to the manager with displays like this but we saw this happen under Poch too, actually with even worse performances than the one today.

Even if you sack Jose, you're going to see a lot of the same problems regardless of who comes in. I think addressing the team has to take priority and give Jose a chance with the right tools next season.

My real massive worry though is that we need so much work this summer yet the same lines will be heard, "we have limited funds", "we need to sell before we buy", " we don't need to do much to the squad" etc.

Jose really isnt for us... just doesnt seem the right fit... we need someone to be pragmatic, adaptable, flexible...

If not Pochettino then bring in Nagelsmann - someone who will be motivated and flexible to compete... dynamic and be here for three to five years and build something.

Thats my view... just doesnt seem the right fit.

Such a stupid post. How’s it his fault if his players don’t track runners or mark for all three goals ffs.

Yeah hit the disagrees because you don’t understand the game. Very clever.
‘Don’t understand the game?’. I understood this match 8 months ago when I voted for ‘Horrified’ in the thread poll.

I fully agree there are serious issues with the players in our squad but with Levy in charge we have to except there really aren't going to be whole sail changes to this squad in the summer.

One positive though; Its going to absolutely kill Daniel Levy when he has to stump up the staggering payout to get rid of Mourinho. I can take a crumb of comfort from that.

Before Poch left I said it was the players at fault... the thing is you bring in a new coach to correct those players attitude (if youre blaming the previous manager as the cause)....

Can I really trust Jose with 150m to correct that team? those players wont be the profile of the clubs strategy

How can we expect to build something in 3-5 years when we're firing a manager after 6 months?

Well he's not gonna get over a quarter of a billion to spend as he did at United so he best come up with something with this squad or what's in the academy if he doesn't wanna get sacked by Tottenham Hotspur,a club that wins nothing.
Not gonna look to great on his résumé

Those of you who want Mourinho out would have wanted Klopp out in his first 2.5 years at Liverpool. He had some stinkers: 3-0 against Watford, 3-1 against Swansea, 0-1 against Man U, 3-2 against Saints after being 2-0 up, 2-0 against Burnley, 3-1 against a poor Leicester, 6-0 at the Etihad and 4-1 against an injury hit Spurs at Wembley etc.

The difference is that the Liverpool board backed Klopp from day 1. Even in his Summer they got him Mane, Wijnaldum and Matip. We won't do that no matter who the manager is.

be very interesting to see what Daniel Levy is doing right now, he must be shitting himself you would think.

A fully fit squad.

9 Days to train.

A team out of form.

How can you not shit yourself.


He doesn't give a fly fuck about this team! All Levy cares about is the ground and when will able to get back to reaping the financial rewards for him and uncle Joe from being able to stage events there.
