Loosely translated as Jose was shite.

Just me? Oh well.

That’s not a slight on Mason btw.
I’m sure he is more than competent.
Anyway. I’m not sure why Matzdorf gave it a Doh.

I haven’t misunderstood it at all. I think Hugo is being completely honest.

I also think it is a comment that is slightly loaded in a way that makes me feel like the players are enjoying having a structure and a philosophy again. A real philosophy. Not one that doesn’t make sense or is slapdash and haphazard.

Ergo, I said what I said.

Lloris will have a strong influence over this side until the end of the season, given his status and willingness to get the headlines, as above. Mason is unlikely to be have been given a free hand.

Also it would be a risky strategy to further antagonise Levy this week and ignore his wishes too. So imo it will be a weakened team for this final - and we'll see a lot more of Bale going forward considering what he costa p/w.

Other than that, Mason can enjoy himself.

I'd be surprised if any player says JMs philosopy was 'slapdash and haphazard'. You dont win as much as he has by being that way. Whatever it was it didnt suit us anyway.

Why a weakened team? Do Levy's wishes include throwing a cup final?

We'll see a lot of Bale over the next 6 games, but because he's one of our main goal threats, not because of his high wages. 11 goals & 3 assists despite limited playing time.
