I hope Bale and Reguilon can give the place a lift because we certainly need it. Generally speaking, I think the football we've played has been mind bogglingly dull with the odd bright spot here and there. To start with, Mourinho was blowing smoke up Dele's arse and it looked like he was trying to build the team around him, but we know that you can't do that with a 'streaky' player like Dele. A short time later, Dele is apparently available to loan.
He continues with a CM2 even though we're lacking creativity and dynamism in there, and our best performances have invariably come with more bodies in CM. We now have a group of players crying out for 3 in midfield in some shape or form but I'm not convinced we'll see it.
Our forward play has been a major concern for me. In this style, chances are few and far between, but our forward line have butchered chance after chance either through selfishness or lack of awareness. Everybody wants to be the hero but not passing to each other becomes a loop that perpetuates itself. That is a coaching issue and something Mourinho has to get to grips with.
I want Mourinho to succeed, not because I like him or ever wanted him here, but for the sake of the club and the supporters.
