I think we have to wait it out until we find out whether Mourinho is playing this dreadful style of football out of preference or necessity. It does however seem strange to me that we continue to lump the ball up to our front line (even though they're ill equipped to deal with it), when we now have the option of some very good passers in midfield who should be able to wrestle control of that area from many of our opponents. At the moment, my hunch is that this is how Mourinho wants to play which begs the question; What has happened to his new, revolutionary style of football we were told about when he joined?
Probably due to the fact we don't currently have the fitness to play a high intensity game for 60 mins let alone an hour, Jose has hinted this a few times. Partly due to the non-injured players being overplayed out of necessity, partly due to whatever the hell went wrong fitness wise at the start of this season.
