All fair points.You say that and it’s a very valid point however you can still score a lot of goals but play in a more negative manner. The main reason being his teams have little of the ball so whilst they might score a lot on the counter attack which for a few seconds is very exciting for most the games you’re watching the opposition pass the ball around and make mistakes which for me isn’t that entertaining.
do you think the way we’ve played under him so far has been exciting ? Yes we scored some goals early on but we also had a good number of games where in my opinion we set up far far too negatively against weaker inferior opposition.
I would say that when we had Kane and Son fit we were playing good football. Even got Alli scoring again.
But once Kane and Son got injured we were on a hiding to nothing. Not good enough defensively to shut up shop and little attacking prowess to play a normal game.
He took over a disjointed side. Lloris has been injured. Our experienced defenders looked to be on a downward spiral and the inexperienced ones are getting thrown in quickly.
We have no defensive midfielder and our best two mids are in their first season in the Prem, one is showing horrendous fitness levels which can't be rectified in a short period.
Then with our 2 best goalscorers getting injured it was a horrible situation.
The fact he got Kane, Son and Alli together and we had a 2ppg with them in the team is a reason for optimism.
Jose's challenge will be one he has a summer transfer window and a preseason. Can we sell the players that need to be sold? Has he identified obtainable targets?
