No but it is the manager's responsibility to get them playing. if they are not listening to him something is mighty wrong.Are you completely absolving the players of any blame whatsoever?

Sounds like 18 months ago.No but it is the manager's responsibility to get them playing. if they are not listening to him something is mighty wrong.
and what happenedSounds like 18 months ago.
Yeah, but common denominator?and what happened
look how we got there though, we beat 2 championship teams ( none overly convincing) a bye against orient, and pens against the chavs.
“Pens against the chavs”.... downplay that game all you want, but I was proud of our team that night for pulling that off.
Maybe we are playing in a parallel football universe and become out of sync?they had us chasing shadows. how the hell does that happen?
Your point being?That was 2/3+ years ago ...
Sorry was going to reply just realised its all in jest.I’ve played the game. At a high level. Like you. Clearly. I was absorbed. It was fascinating watching us try to break then Down. Only people that know the game know what was going on. Jose was a genius. It was the players fault that they didn’t complete his instructions. watching them throw their arms in the air as no one knew if they should make a run summed it up.
Levy should be the manger.
its obvious to me. I’ve played the game though.
At the moment, Vini has offered nothing
can you name me the better defender he attracted at UTD ?Levy is all about long term strategies, so I don’t expect him to sack Mourinho just like that.
i’m also bored and tired of seeing us like this. But I really think our defensive options are bad. IMO only Toby and Reggie have the skills needed, and the former is currently declining which is natural due to age.
With this in mind I do think that we should benefit from Mourinho’s reputation to attract better defenders; Skriniar etc.
Yeah, in some circumstances it is. Which was my point at the beginning, you know, differing philosophies, same players? ...Your point being?
I gave JM the benefit of the doubt. The players adapted to the system quickly, which was proved by our run of form at the end of last season and the beginning of this one. However, the league adapted just as quickly, to which JM now has no answer. Or is that the players being average too.

But then it's on JM's shoulders anyway, for not telling Levy that the team are shit and he needs to sell everyone, barring a few, most of which are currently just as ineffective. So, as I said, the buck stops with him.Yeah, but common denominator?
I would say:Agree , average . Of who played today who gets in a team in the big six ? Son ? That’s it , and his form has disappeared. I dunno .
On what planet is that the players' fault? They are doing what they are told and getting nowhere. And it's their fault. Right. Gottcha.Yeah, in some circumstances it is. Which was my point at the beginning, you know, differing philosophies, same players? ...
So it's just Mourinho's fault?On what planet is that the players' fault? They are doing what they are told and getting nowhere. And it's their fault. Right. Gottcha.
