I have shown in bold the only part of your two posts that does not merit a "dislike". You can either engage in constructive criticism and refrain from calling our players "shite" or you can be an arsehole. Your choice.
You'd need to be a fly on the wall to know the reasons, but whatever the reason, the evidence is right there before our eyes. The players were not doing the fundamentals that they would have been taught in their youth teams, move into space, show for the ball, communicate. You don't need a WC manager/coach to tell you this every game, it's muscle memory, they've done it throughout their playing days from about the age of 6!
I agree that the truth is somewhere on between but disagree that Jose tells them to press and be aggressive as we did today. He may well tell them to push up the pitch when we are camped on the edge of our own box as a result of inviting pressure. As for telling them to press high up, I dont think so.
Hes really not shite mate. You don't score a hattrick in a champions league semi-final or play for psg and brazil if you're shite. He's frustrating i grant you, but shite, not by a way.
He’s clearly not shite in that has has some great technical skills, but then so did Stephane Dalmat.
But they haven't ignored his instructions week after week, that's just your perception based on the last few games where they have.

I've explained this innumerable times, against City, the goons, Leeds and others we have pressed intelligently, making teams play where we want them to both to render their attacks less potent, and to set them up to play into the traps we set.
We did all this in most games up until Anfield. After that game it just stopped for no immediately apparent reason, other than the players just stopped doing it on the pitch.
Do you honestly believe the coaching staff had the players in after the loss at Anfield and said to then "right lads, the system has worked up until now, but because Liverpool locked a win against us we've decided it no longer works so we're tearing it up. What we want you to do now is sit on the 18 yard line, yes Pierre, you as well, stand stationary when we win the ball back and not have an attempt on goal until we go a goal behind. We'll win the league that way boys, trust us."
Now JM might have mishandled the management of the players themselves in some way though, from a little insider rumour I've got from my Brother, there's a bad element within the playing staff, led by one player in particular.
Not naming any names, but it rhymes with Gary Spinks
Pinch of salt of course, but smoke/fire and all that...
You're certainly not a racist but I expect you have seriously offended the Friends of the Blind Squirrels Society
Wrong thread sorry .
That’s essentially what I’m trying to say .

He can't, but it's Larry Sphinx you've gotta watch out for, he's trouble.
