We’re better in every position (on paper) yet we look so abject.

Usually around this time Kane starts to drop deeper and we lose a proper striker, game ends up being a borefest where we lose or maybe get a lucky draw.

We are out played and dominated by every single team we face in the league. Be it Aston villa , Liverpool, Southampton it makes no difference.
Its the style of play under mourinho

Agree it is the style of play, but it shouldn’t be happening for a club with our philosophy and therefore I’ve recently come to think that Mourinho is not our man. Not gonna be toxic about it though.

It’s like watching laurel and hardy with our centre halfs, the chuckle brothers for the mid age group and jedward for the younger ones

Has GLC been injured? I can see he's on the bench, just not sure why he doesn't start.

I really hope Bale doesn't merely paper over the gaping cracks like he did his last year here.

This is the worrying thing. We can have all the great players we want. But without a real system we're not going to do anything.

We have no identity.

I genuinely can't see any progress or signs of what we're trying to do. Different formations, different players, sometimes pressing and sometimes sitting off. It's all over the place.

Jenas hate Jose’s style of play so much lol he’s so so negative towards us when he commentates since Jose joined, fair enough if that’s his opinion as it’s not been great too often. The new players look fine but just not a fan of this game plan at all

How we miss Eriksen and Dembele

We do, but we have in the past played very well without either of those in the team (not under Jose though).

At least under poch we'd pass it around for ages and have no shots and lose 1-0, now we don't even get to retain possession for more than 3 passes

Different manager and these same players getting lambasted will look good the problem for me is we are not looking to attack but looking to defend first .

Dier & Sanchez both poor, especially Dier.
Dier off for Alder.
Lucas off for Lo Celso.

Jose has to take some blame but it’s been these sort of cowardly performances for a few years now.
