We had numerous fucking chances in the 90 to take it, what the fuck are u on about? You want him to put the ball in the back of the net himself?
No, I'd have quite liked him to actually attempt to score a goal before the worst team in the league equalised in the 78th minute, rather than nick a set-piece and then put ten men behind the ball.

Fuck off back to Chelsea. What a fucking disaster he is. There is simply no way that a Pochettino side with their pressing fails to win that game, ESPECIALLY in extra time with Norwich half dead. That's an absolute disgrace.

Whilst I agree that Mourinho is the wrong person, Poch’s team didn’t press for the last year and a half.

That is what happens when you play not to lose against inferior teams at home. No glory. Mourinho should be fighting for his job after 4 successive losses. Dour, dour football with no ambition at all.

Realised during the Norwich game that we have the portuguese Graham. Not only are we shit, but we're boring.
Please get rid.

I know we have two top class players in Kane and Son out injured... but Mourinho needs to try and play to win rather than play not to lose. At home. To a very poor Norwich side. He really is not a good fit for our club with such negative, dour football. It's as bad as it was when George Graham was here.
Just not much you can do with this group of attackers, especially when you consider they're dead tired.

Playing Dele will be his downfall. He's a shadow of what he was in his first couple seasons.

Negative football for 80 minutes. Dominated by Norwich at Home, the worst side in the league, sorry but I just can't support that style. The sooner he goes, the better for our club.

Haha, Poch's press went way before he did, remember Colchester!? I do, however, agree that Jose is well past it - Ill give myself a face slap for even dare think we might get a different Jose.

We had numerous chances in the 90 ... I'm genuinely wondering if u watched the game.

I have the feeling that we could be playing against a League two side, and Mourinho would still set us to wait.

I know we are missing our 2 best players, but we can def do a lot better than this. And Mourinho has a lot of blame when you compare the last 10 minutes of the regular time, with the rest of the game. Some players are lacking confidence, but Mourinho is making us play worse.

He could have played Parrot. And he could have played a much higher line and controlled the game. But we parked the bus against a team in the relegation zone at home as soon as we went 1-0 up.

I’m with you. It’s a minority view now, but won’t be when we get ran ragged by Arsenal in a couple of weeks.

Everyone will be coming for Mourinho now.

Interesting to see how he, the club, and the players respond.
I’ll hazard a guess at:

Jose: Chippily, defensively, it’s anyone’s fault but his his.
The Club: Couldn’t give a rat’s arse until the revenue’s start falling from No CL and fans stopping coming because they’re so disillusioned like myself.
Players: Sleep-walking into oblivion like they have been for over a year.

Haha what??? Honestly some of the shit spouted in this thread is hilarious! We got 24 points from 25 games with Pochettino mate, he was utterly utterly utterly pathetic for the last year he was in charge..........now apparently he would win all the games even though it was proven he couldn’t??

The players are the ones that need to take the blame, neither Poch or Mourinho can manage these lot. How can a manager be at fault for players not being able to pass 5 yards, or missing chance after chance after chance. The lot of them have been pathetic for too long and it’s time for a clear out.

I said the other day that there are only 4-5 players who I would actually keep from the entire squad, the rest can go. We had a great side 3-4 years ago but they have aged. Toby, Verts, Walker, Rose, Dembele, none of these have been replaced and we are suffering for it. Defensively we genuinely have a bunch of average footballer with a couple of has been a thrown in for good measure.

It’s going to take time and the quicker people realise this the better.
