100% focus on the cups. Top four is not happening.

Top 4 was never on the cards after the shocking form between december and february. Wins against crap sides recently made people believe we were back in the race but in reality we are miles away with the dinosaur in charge.

We will lose in europa when we face a decent side just like we did in the FA cup.

No movement off the ball, no plan in possession, no plan off possession.

This is either the players not following the plan or the management havent drilled a plan into them.

In both cases it's the managers fault as he doesn't just set us tactically buy mentally too. He is accountable for both.

We have been relying on individual player magic all season. There is no structure at all.

Shame the fans aren't in the stadium because his position is untenable.

I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise. I've seen knee jerk from a few and just think wow. We've had the easiest run of games we've had for a while.

Levy unfortunately either won't sack Jose because of his man crush or can't afford to because of the ludicrous contract he put him on.

We will lose players like Kane and Son soon, maybe the damage is already done as I haven't seen Son sign his contract yet.

It appears the rumours of Jose leaving a mess might be very true.

That performance has pushed me over the edge. No half hearted stance. I'm full Jose out. I want him out of my club now. No more.
@KingKay

Don't think you're quite grasping this repping system.

So let me break it down for you.

That performance has pushed me over the edge. That's MY opinion. So are you disagreeing that I'm being pushed over the edge?

No half hearted stance. I'm full Jose out. I want him out of my club now. No more. So do you think I'm not Jose out?

You get me?

I can understand criticism of the tactics, due to the largely negative performance, but what specifically was poor about the selections?

The only change I would have made to the starting XI is Aurier in for Doherty, but I suspect Aurier's fitness decided that one.

Surely you save him for the NLD and play Doherty against Zagreb then.

It is difficult to believe and difficult to take that such an intelligent and decorated manager should be getting it so wrong but.....

Some of our players are compete shite mind.

I think his biggest mistake today was paying them too much respect. They’re a shit mid table team. We should of approached the game like we did against palace.

I respectfully disagree. Top 4 up till today was on the cards. We had been building up some momentum with the way we were playing and then today we just reverted to type. Sat back with no real desire to move out of our half and press their line - typical Jose stuff really. Top 4 is gone now though and we'll be lucky to get past the quarter-finals if we progress to the next round.

Can’t play out from the back. That’s the biggest problem with this team and where this and many other performances stem from. Don’t look like they know how to do it, doesn’t look like they’re being encouraged to do it. so many passes backwards when under any sort of pressure which results in one of our centre backs or GK launching percentage balls. So frustrating watching the same problem all season when up against teams that will come on to us and press us more.

Trying to get my head round the negative performance that only turned round after we our most industrious player got sent off, and then we outplayed them.

Jose effectively slapped one of these on his tactics dossier when he met with Spurs and Levy said “yeah alright mate, sound. Job’s yours”.

Give him a chance to win Europa. Sack him the second we're knocked out.

Yep that's been my opinion since Christmas, never wanted him, horrified we got him but he's supposed to be a cup expert so happy to let him see out the Europa campaign before he's sacked , even if he wins it

We should of approached it like a NLD period. Had we carried the same system into this game, then we'd have beat them quite easily imho.

I assure you I am neutral on Mourinho not a lover or a hater but when I read that Ole Gunnar Schoolboy is being offered a £9m contract wtf are we getting for our £15m?
I always hear how shrewd Levy is so perhaps this is some master stroke that will become apparent in time.
In my non agenda eyes Einstein could have signed Grealish for £25m (I dont care what anyone on here says that is the figure I was told would get him early doors) and had enough change to appoint Joe Plodder to get us Top 4.

West Ham Chelsea Arsenal Liverpool takes no positive actions in any of those big games - just let a crap Arsenal side piss over us as he has no ambition other than to sit and wait in games as soon as Son goes off what options did we have ? He can't hit them on the break as he has no pace up front so he has to change something what does he do fuck all. He wants his defence to defend narrow so Arsenal had a continuous overload out wide. What is he being paid to do? Their defence was all over the place and they could sit there watching us passively sit in and let them dominate might work against Palace and even Fulham but in the games that matter sadly lacking as a manager

Crap management again

Just piss off Mourinho
