You don’t go to a tricky stadium like the Vitality and easily get yourself a single shot on target lads. Just because they have lost 6 in a row before this and are the worst form team in the league; with the worst goalkeeper in the world, doesn’t mean we’re due shots on target. Entitled fan base tbh.
Brilliant lol

Those who shout loudest tonight is it?

Same ones shouting at the end when Pochs team couldn't hit the side of a barn door?

Carry on.

Copy/paste from the match thread at half time.

After four wins in the first five Jose has been a disaster.

What bugs me most is that he hasn't even done anything new. He looked at the squad with a fresh pair of eyes (multiple pairs if you include his backroom staff) and he's doing the exact same shit that got us into this mess in the first place.

Winks/Sissoko CM2? Check
Headless chickens Aurier and Moura preferred right wing duo? Check
Play painfully slow MISSED passing football and show no intent in the final third? Check
A painfully fragile defence that always has a mistake or two in it? Check, although I'll admit it's been slightly better since the restart.

I didn't want Mourinho in but I at least thought he'd make tactical chances and there would be a difference in how we approached games. There hasn't been any.

Agree totally but a very small word missed out

As I keep saying, when it comes to having to play on the front foot and break a team down we are struggling, as I feared would be the case. You cant always rely on counter attacks and fast transitions.

Individuals can be blamed, some will say they should work it out for themselves, but all teams have to have a framework as to how they go about their work. What is worked on in training during the week, the patterns of play, etc.

At the moment we just have nothing, 11 individuals going out there looking ponderous, making one-off passes with no purpose to help construct a move, no fluidity of movement, no interlinking play between a grouping of players. It's totally devoid of idea, bar shifting the ball right to Aurier to hammer a cross against the defender for the umpteenth time.

This is substandard planning, preparation, and coaching ultimately. Mourinho has to find the answers or this will keep happening.

I know Jose's copping some flak but you look at Utd and you wouldn't necessarily yearn for Solskjaer yet footballing wise they are playing on a different planet to us.

At some point, these supposed international footballers have to stand up and be counted and when they are failing to perform the basics of a simple 5 yard pass then let's call a spade a spade and say they aren't bloody good enough!

Harry redknapp would get more out of this team. The squad needs massive upgrades but I have no doubt the football would be much better under harry.

Excuse that now you Mourinho loving idiots. Have some self respect & admit you’re wrong for backing this ‘has been’ relic.
Said it once & I’ll say it again he’s George Graham Mk2
You know you’re named after a fruit drink that was rumoured to have animal spunk inside it, innit?

He simply can't do it anymore.

I've watched us play for a long time and I can't remember us being this joyless and un-entertaining as this.

He is the opposite of what is required.

Can't really defend that performance.

I guess he played for Bournemouth tiring and us having more joy in the second half because of the Sheff Utd performance.

Problem is we have NOTHING going forward right now.

I've said he needs time and I'll continue to say that as I believe a big chunk of the issue is certain players.

I believe there will be bigger issues on the horizon. The window is apparently going to stay open until October and I guess a restart will be in September, which means we'll have a month of the new season of Levy haggling, us having to persist with the same wasted players and Jose growing increasingly frustrated.

The fans need to start turning attention to Levy now. Stadium aside, 1 trophy in 19 years is a joke, 19 years of progression is a joke.

Well you know you could make the argument that if he’d been backed a little more, who knows, we could have been sitting on a PL trophy.
