Genuinely, was actually thinking the worst had happened glad you are aliveNot posted on here for a while and have avoided watching games since the West Ham bollocks for a number of reasons. I’ve caught some highlights and read a lot of match reports and tactical analysis articles but the prospect of watching us for 90 minutes has been unbearable. The football is awful, and we are woefully predictable. The worrying thing is that many football writers and thinkers predicted this; that our decent start would fade away quickly as teams would easily anticipate our style and tactics and use the limitations of this to work against us.
I’m not sure where we go from here; I don’t just hold Mourinho responsible, there’s something at the core of our club, at least from a footballing performance level (nobody can question the growth of our infrastructure), that’s inadequate. We constantly blow our lines when it matters most. We can laugh at Arsenal’s poor season so far but they’re still capable of winning a trophy (which they managed last season), while this remains anathema to us. I’m far from convinced that Mourinho’s appointment is another master stroke from Levy, who apart from Jol, Redknapp and Pochettino has recruited poorly over the last 20 years
