I'd like to think that this is a reaction to the final if I'm honest. It would show they understand they didn't put enough effort in, and that they do actually give a fuck.

I’ve just listened to the half time analysis on Sky and if that would have been Man City they would have been talking about a totally dominant performance. Yet for us it was ‘I’d have expected better’ and a ‘rare bit of quality....’ that led to the goal.

Harry has had a bit of an off day so far - quite a few shots without getting one on target (apart from the offside one)

I don't think the coaching from a technical pov would really be making that much of a difference in such a short time. He's just gone back to what they knew under early days Poch, and they understand it completely. If Poch hadn't have tried to switch it all up into the diamond I think things could have turned out very different.thats not me putting Mason down because he's done exactly the right thing.

But surely the approach was different? I know we were building from the back but Winks was being tasked with coming to receive but was being a total coward with the ball so hard to get anything going like that. Also Mason seemed to have a more defensive mindset.

It's difficult to know and easier to say in hindsight but I do believe we'd have seen more in the final if the players had time to build up confidence and a bit more understanding. We'd probably still have lost but it may have been different.

Yea and if you watched the match you would have seen we had 23 shots and 12 shots on target but Darlow had the best game of his career

Whats fun to watch - and amusing in relation to Mourinho - is how well we are defending from the front. Players are still making a few individual mistakes, but we are less exposed defensively than when we invited teams to play in our end.

for all the dominance though there wasn’t massive amount of clear cut chances which our play probably should have had I think that’s what they trying to say albeit inelegantly

What I think he has done is just gone back to basics means the players are less afraid Jose over coached at times.

Then on top of that Jose leaving and mason knowing the players makes them care about him throw that in with him probably being more cute with what he says to them it results in this.

Good half Aurier done well and Le Celso knitting midfield together nicely

A reminder that the squad has some serious attacking talent, but needs some coaching so it's cohesive , with movement and patterns
