What are the tactics exactly? we have no pattern of plays, we just let other teams play and hope for a moment of brilliance from son or Harry, this ain't football

Show me a fucking coach that will turn Dier or Sissoko or Winks or Davies or into world beaters.

FFS even under Poch, with 70% possession we used to spend 80 minutes watching winks and Sissoko passing sideways and fucking backwards 386 times before a moment of brilliance would paper over the cracks.

These lies needs to stop. If you have an anti Mourinho agenda then yay for you but stop fabricating wishful scenarios to suit your narrative, it proves nothing.
!00% agree.

Now he's just complaining that he's missing too many important players and even named Dele Alli as a player who is missing and is a player that he depends on :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

To be fair, last time Kane was injured Son got injured against Aston Villa. Doesn't gleam much info.

No. You're being obtuse. Since Son and Kane have been at the club, not the last 2 games, not the last time Kane was injured, as in history. Has Son stepped up to the plate when Kane has been injured?

So who brought these players in who's coaching them

Let’s get another manager in so we can see some half decent football like we did when JM arrived, and in 12 months when we back in this pile of shit I want you to ask the same questions. This has been a problem for almost 3 years now.

Can't fault either side for attempting this, but it didn't work out. Mourinho overrated the likes of Toby, Dier, Dele, Eriksen before he joined us, and Levy believed that whole new attack-minded and happy Jose. Plus it's cheaper to extend couple of contracts than do huge overhaul. Jose is not someone who will tolerate getting Rodon instead of Skirinar or Dias, we saw what happens in Utd. We know that Bergwijn wasn't his signing either, team doesn't want to lose Dele contrary to his opinion etc. ENIC and Mourinho don't make a good pair. Our recruitment of HG players somwhat improved and Tanganga was given a chance, Aurier improved a lot (has someone protecting him which has other issues but still), cool to see Kane as a creative player so it's not all terrible. If his contract wasn't so big and there were good options available he would 100% get a sack, I think Levy will wait to see until Dele, Lo Celso and Kane come back (unless we lose next 3 matches or something like that). Top 4 won't happen and route one style probably won't beat the likes of Leicester, Utd, Arsenal, Lille, Milan, Napoli in Cup Uefa.

Has he? What has he done in the last 2 games? Has he been the leader Kane is and makes a difference?

Let's be honest, he has been poor, which is not all his fault as the tactics are grim, but where is the character and desire to go grab a game by the neck.

Look at any other times Kane has been injured!

One thing I do hope when he goes.

Be in no doubt Jose most of us liked you as a bloke, People will try to say we hated you but that is far from the truth for most of us.

All about style of football.

Maybe it’s all a cunning plan by Jose, get us relegated and bring us back up as champions. A trophy and a league title at that. God imagine it on here if we didn’t make the play offs

Honestly can now see why man utd fans had enough of him.
His teams have been to easy to beat for years now
I'll never understand why he didn't try changing his style of football to a more attacking approach after the United job.

Seems like he went the other way and went more negative than ever....

Hopefully not too much more of this until hes gone.

How am I being obtuse? When Kane is out and we rely on leaders on the pitch, do you think Son steps up?

This is a question of opinion, but it definitely isn't me being obtuse.

the players are being made to look a lot worse than they are because of the tactics and instructions from Jose in my opinion.

the front players, especially Bergwijn, are so isolated it feels like they lose the ball all the time - it’s because the only option is attempt to beat 4 men or execute a killer ball all the time.

the defence and CMs are so deep it’s constant long balls to get out, or again, a really difficult pass.

i’m convinced a better, more modern manager would get more out of this squad - but thats not to say we don’t need player changes. we could do with 2 new CBs, okus likely a left back in the summer to sort the defence out.

That interview was pathetic Jose

no one does death by cop like him.

When it turns it turns . Think he's leaning towards the payoff now. he doesn't like to be questioned.

he wants people to genuflect at his altar like when top at Christmas.

he can't control this narrative anymore.
