Maybe so. But I certainly loved his Plan A. You can't even see any kind of plan right now.
I agree - Loved it to bits, but even its hay day, I knew it wouldn't last - systems like poch's don't. My biggest question was what the back up is? Turns out the Southampton fans were right - he didn't have one.

Right - but I didn’t ask about the effectiveness of anti-Levy protest methods. I asked why you think people posting about high prices are worthy of your berating
You paid money to moan about paying money ... Who wants to hear about that?

Let's be honest, we are a midtable team at the moment. Half our squad is good, half is bang average on a good day. Levy and Poch filled the squad with technically poor footballers, and then let it stagnate. Performances have been shit under Jose, but he inherited a horrible squad and has had shocking luck with injuries, so I don't think we should judge him on this season.
So we are not winning anything soon then.

Started off really well, passing it around well which we haven’t done in a while, created some good forward movement but unfortunately just couldn’t keep it up.
We really shouldn't back off. Really shouldn't. I'm so pissed at the lads. The first 20 minutes we were comfortable. And I was quite confident we could win comfortably. But the movement they got their goal, we went back hiding. Ffs seriously. Why so passive. We are chasing points and this was a six pointer game.

They need to grow some balls. Some of those lads out there are gone. Their mentalities are shot. Is no longer an issue of abilities, but their frame of mind. We were then back to being pegged and going backwards. What a shame. GLC wanted to go against the norm, Bergwjin wanted to do against the norm. But Winks and Lucas dragged them deeper into the safe route and we just couldn't advance.

The core group of players we seen under Poch era should be rinsed totally. Or they should be zapped like in MIB. The effect from last season calamity to this season etched into them so firmly their confidence were drained the moment they conceded.

fuck off about Poch - he was burnt and going through the motions - he was Shit at the end - do you get that mate

Whether Jose was the right thing is another matter
To be fair to Poch he told us we need a painful rebuild and wasn’t backed!!! Only person to blame is fucking Levy and Lewis not Poch not Mourinho or all the previous managers they all were not backed by that prick. All the players they wanted he never got bought. Maybe a couple of exceptions but totally disagree with your comments Poch was shat on from a great height he was the best manager we’ve had for an age. Just a little example of how shit Levy is when we sold Walker to City, Sancho wanted out of City Levy should of got him as part of the deal instead of taking all the £50m but I’m afraid that’s all Levy cares about not Spurs or me or you just money!!!!

Just think ...mourinho got 50 k for today's work ...and made 400k since our defeat at Chelsea, and for that we look v poor with so shape and each week we are losing the tactical battle ...for all that money , we have to ask what he is doing and Levy , as the top man , should be looking at the value for money

Just left the game.

Complete lack of leadership back to front. Nobody taking responsibility, too many sideways and backwards passes, only Le Celso looked to get his head up and be progressive. Felt sorry for Dele as he was so frustrated he ended up dropping deep to get the ball which just made it worse.

People can talk about the forward injuries that are obviously effecting us but no excuse for that defending.

Lets see........

Kane
Lloris
Son
Lamela
Wanyama
Sissoko


How much better we would be with those in the side is up for debate but lets not pretend it isn't an issue. Any squad would, over the course of a season, hell, half a season, would miss that lot.

Plus two or three three signings who have hardly set the world alight, Eriksen gone, Toby & Jan have declined shockingly. Personally I'd add Toby & Jan to the 'missing' list because their quality has declined so badly.

Ridiculous statement. Bordering on Jackanory type levels.

Such is your hard-on for hating on Mourinho that this rubbish just rolls off the tongue. It's as plain as a 12 inch dong stuck to the Queen's face :D

come on A&C Wanyama has been missing for nearly 3 seasons now, and Sissoko only started being an effect last season and still was a weak link

There is no excuse whatsoever

No, I’ve not posted anywhere about not liking the high prices. I’ve simply asked you why you think it’s ok to berate those who have
Apologies.

They paid money to moan about paying money ... The point stands.

Heard a stat on the stream I was watching. Lo Celso has yet to score or assist in the league in 17 appearances.

Its true but he is extremely talented,gives all, good defensively and pushing the ball around. Has vision.Changes direction when he needs to etc
Ill take that. Also nobody is running into space so the options havent been good.

Whatever the reason, he was shit at the end.

You might Be right re a Levy - if you think that happened, boycott the club.

Let's face it, they still didn't want him gone. If Mourinho can't get a coherent Plan A going with this squad I think it's a bit harsh to criticise Poch for not having a Plan B. I don't even think it's true - it was very much Plan B that saw us win the CL QF and SF last season. It wasn't consistent, but it was there.

This club has sleepwalked into this fucking mess on the pitch.

We've been left with an ageing, ill disciplined, or slow set of defenders, who put in any formation can't to do the job anymore. If it were possible, and I had any confidence we'd buy decent quality, I'd be fine with getting shot of most of em'.

We'll see how shit he is when he gets another job. It's going to be fun watching him win it all while we try to qualify for Europe. It's never realistic to expect a team to be good all the time, and even less so in our circumstances. That doesn't mean the manager's suddenly turned shit and has to be sacked.

Poch got fucked off with broken promises from the cnut Levy, I don’t blame Poch for any of this and don’t blame him for trying to get sacked in the end rather than walking as why should he forfeit a payout from the miser Levy, who has now managed to find money for transfers.

Are they missing or not? We could bang on all day about certain players and wether or not they deserve a mention but they are missing and I did say some of it was up for debate. A fit Wanyama would be in the team and so would nearly all the others. Writing it off as 'hardly any players missing' is ridiculous. Concentrate on that instead of the sideshow stuff.
