Vincent's Wiki entry , just wonder how it would have worked out under Jose if he was still with us......

"Style of play

Janssen is credited with good finishing, movement and pace. Due to his strength, he is an "exceptional" hold-up man who can bring teammates into play, and as a good passer of the ball, he can set up goal-scoring opportunities for teammates. He is also praised for his work ethic, as well as his competitive mentality. Janssen's style of play has invited comparisons with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

His weaknesses are shots from outside the penalty box, the timing of his movement and ball control."

If his two main weaknesses have been missed - that he has no pace and no aerial ability - then I don't think it can be considered a credible source.

Plus he wasn't a natural striker but he tried hard.

Starting to lose faith in Jose.... We just don't like we are improving the major frailties.

Pathetic defending once again - not improving at all. I don't know what these players do in training

Mourinho has had these players long enough to organise them better than this. Out fought and out thought week in, week out. I thought he was a decisive manager who would make changes when things were clearly going wrong, and he started off like that with that early hooking of Dier. But it was clear after only a few minutes of the second half that Nunez had sussed us out and it was a matter of time until they scored and Jose sat and watched until we were 3-2 down.

Harry Winks said:
He has said it many times: he wants us to keep the ball, he wants us to create chances and he wants us to build from the back when it is the right time. We are still in the early phases of working out what the strategy is and what the tactics are.”

Lets see who he blames for this one. Would be refreshing to see him accept some culpability for once, he's paid c. 15m a year, excuses only run on a limited amount of hot air.

He’ll be gone in the summer imo. It was a gamble worth taking considering he was out of work and we needed a manager mid-season, but it just hasn’t worked and isn’t getting any better.

The football is consistently awful in a way it never was under Poch.

agree - it’s so worrying that we are hard to beat.

This is not good enough.

2nd highest paid manager in the world

Got to say I’m pretty disappointed with Jose since he has taken over at the very least thought we would be solid at the back and harder to play against than we currently are. The defending has been appalling all season, you have to wonder what we do on the training pitch
