I don’t think it’s just JM or the next big thing we may or may not be able to land. I think there’s some serious dysfunction at the recruitment/ footballing management aspect of the club that goes beyond the possible shortcomings of any manager
We all know this but you constantly repeating it wont change things or make it happen. Your rhetoric is getting very tedious nowI don’t think I am. I didn’t say the club was incompetent, I said that there are some incompetent people at the club. It is, with all respect, a different thing.
It’s laughable, however, that we still haven’t invested in a striker after all these years of riding our luck with Kane, when all the signs were there that we needed one. And now we’re fucked for the rest of the season because both Kane and Son are out for most, if not all of it. That’s shoddy organisational management
What else are we meant to be doing now? What's the point of owning a large state of the art stadium and hiring a perennial winner?
I have to respectfully disagree.I’m just glad Jose didn’t use Dier today.
I'll play him whenever we play chelscum. First name in the team sheet to fuck their midfield for another battle.Knowing our luck it probably means he's saving Dier for Saturday.
We will win nothing with JM, he is yesterday's man!
You have lost your bet already mate have just arranged to jump on a train and a few beers up London job done.*Makes bet with self that this is a load of bollocks
Would still love him to a Spurs. Quick and powerful, still young.Always interests me that as fans we watch the same game but see things very differently. I thought Werner was quality tonight and his link up play with Angelino was impressive. Aurier just could not cope at all.
25 goals in 31 games for Werner this season and it was easy to see why. Would love to see him at Spurs.
I was a big advocate of him coming in but after results recently you maybe right out coached last night that's for sure.We will win nothing with JM, he is yesterday's man!
I have to respectfully disagree.
While he may not be the quickest and capable Dier we used to see, if Mourinho still has long ball playing to the front in mind, he is definitely one who can do the pinging forward accurately, instead of relying Toby so too many times that became so predictable.
Just interested, does anyone remember two worse full backs? I’m 42, and maybe Austin and Edinburgh were nearly as bad. I’m lost for words with Aurier, he plays football like a nine year old. Davies is League one standard, slow, very poor in possession, offers nothing going forward, but is okay in the air and is average at marking. Fingers crossed in the transfer window.
Yes, we had tomorrows man in Poch and didn't win anything either. We've had them all and won nothing in ten years. Might as well sack it all off.We will win nothing with JM, he is yesterday's man!

That wasn't the only reason they were also highly motivatedDuring the game, I could not figure out why RBL players were so much fitter than Spurs.
Then I recalled something. From 21 December till 19 February they only played 6 games and had a clear break till 18 January.
Spurs played 13 games in two months and only had 5 days rest last week. No wonder they were first to every ball.
Who was supposed to be marking Werner last night? Felt like we gave him so much space - esp in the first half.I thought Aurier was terrible tonight and Werner had a lot to do with that.
That’s definitely true of the first halfThis was an out of form Leipzig. I think they had only one win in their last six games. We just sat off them and let them play
Agree but at the same time not.I'm not a fan of stats because they can (and often are) skewed to give a certain view. So I'm going to do it

At first glance that doesn't compare too badly given our injuries and all the other stuff we're enduring this shitty, shitty season, what were people expecting?
I'm suggesting people's expectations need lowering a bit here. We're not the club we were, we're in a crisis. Literally.
We didn't knock it about from the back. Seriously? When, this season, have we done that with any degree of success. When we were doing it people were complaining that it was costing us goals, all that slowly faffing around stuff wasn't popular then was it.
Injuries, squad deterioration, managerial changes, poor off the pitch, poor on the pitch and no sign of it getting better. We're going to need some of that siege mentality if that's what Mourinho is trying to do because this isn't a made up issue, its real. There isn't a combination of players that he can pick that will suddenly transform us. That's going to take time and at the rate we sign players, fifteen thousand transfer windows
See you all in the year 2720 or whenever
