I don't understand the argument that it's OK that we are playing dull tedious football because that's what Poch served up at the end? Surely that's at least partly why we changed manager?

I think the argument is more that given the length of time with such poor results added with fresh injuries it isn't reasonable to expect both improved results and performances such a short space of time.

I'd probably expect not to have got rid of two fallbacks without replacement. Or to give Sessegnon ago. Or to play two CBs and one more midfielder. Or just to push Dier up to CM. He has choices. This is his system. To dare is to defend.

Sessegnon is coming back from injury. Tanganga and Vertonghen tbh are better choices than Rose and KWP.

Can someone tell me how did Mourinho earn this time everyone says to give him? Why had Poch not earned this magical time to turn things around?

Poch didn’t have time? Are you out of your fucking mind? Jesus Christ.

I’ve decided that he’s still employed by Abramovich and is out to ruin us?

Took you off ignore to do'h this, now I've put you back on, thanks.

5 at the back, 5 defeats in a row. World class. No way Poch could have done any better!

Ossie85 · Mar 7, 2020

I don't know how can some still defend how he sets us up.
5 at the back against Burnley

Can someone please explain what Mourinho is doing? Any logic that you can see from a positive angle. Because I simply don't get it. I am not going to buy the 'he' s clueless' argument because that's naive. He's been on the game long enough so there must be something that he's attmepting, I just can't figure out what it is.

Anyone?

Trying to get the sack

We have become the quintessential Mourinho team, but without the victories. The man is about 10 years past his sell-by date. He was never a great tactician, but now it looks like he cannot even motivate anyone. Team spirit is zero, and it's every man for himself. This is a squad not much worse than the one that made the Champions League final.

Moutinho and I want the same thing. For him not to be Spurs manager.

Not much worse? It's far better. And he's got it playing relegation football.

Levy needs to apologise to the fans for this. Failed to back a good manager who the fans loved so leaving us with a stale squad and then has to sack that manager and employ a manager who never played Spurs style football and who now looks clueless and the fans hate.
I’m hoping Coronavirus does just enough that they end the season and we finish 8th. I can’t watch any more of this shite and Levy needs to sack him and get in a modern manager. 3 more years of this and the stadium will be like the Gooners with empty seats everywhere.

Anyone agreeing he will change is just a fool, why we play this type of football against bottom teams is just absurd , We need to get in a new manager before next season or we are fucked for another year.

Ossie85 · Mar 7, 2020

If we keep playing like this I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep the little faith I have in him. We’ve been really bad in some games with AvB or Sherwood but we tried to get something. This is completely worse because it’s as if we don’t want to win it. 5 cbs against fucking Burnley.
I can accept a loss, but at least try to win it. This negative tactics are taking away the little confidence this set of players had left.
It’s embarrassing from Mourinho.

He’s a shambles mate.

I think a good manager makes you better than the sum of your parts, I do not see that with Jose.

There are obviously some excuses but even then, this is making otherwise quality footballers look like clueless cloggers.

One more year and a transfer budget given to this guy will set us back 2 or 3 years.

Needs to go now.

I'm sure Levy regrets his actions, what ever it was that made poch loose interest so badly.
Seemed to have been around the time poch started getting visibley miserable. Saying stuff like "the club should change my title to coach" or even well before that actually about needing to be brave in the summer (2018) and we ended up with no one.
A proper falling out between the two

Eventually though this debacle is gonna cost levy a whole lot more than if he just splashed 100 mill + in one window, and trusted 1 mans philosophy fully
