I don't know."We are a little bit reactive not proactive"
Who did the players get that behaviour from?

Well, I'll give you a clue....it wasn't JoseI don't know.
Not at all. This obsession on SC with FBs is absurd. There's been nothing but complaining about FBs on here since the time of Assou-Ekotto and beyond, and when we go through pairs and pairs of FBs and the SC choir stays the same, it tells me the issue isn't the players on the pitch. The SC complaining about our FBs is like a farmer who wants to sell eggs but when he is dissatisfied he complains about the quality of his rooster. Then when he is dissatisfied with the milk he still complains about the quality of his rooster.Our full backs are our biggest weakness.
Was it you?Well, I'll give you a clue....it wasn't Jose
I think Jose just wanted to see for himself if he can count on certain players. Perhaps these players have responded really well in training so he's decided to give them a shot to see if it was down to system or personnel.Here is a crazy thought (ready to get lots of wtf ratings)...until January when we might sign a proper DM if pigs fly... how about giving Foyth a go as DM, defensively could cover the gaps, good on the ball, can pass forwards, relatively quick (just keep him away from the penalty area)..can't do any worse than Dier or Winks
NooooWas it you?
Wow we win 3 on the bounce and after what was admittedly a poor performance people are already questioning Jose and whether he's going to become the ManU grumpy fuck. I know things have been shite for a while but some people need to get a fucking grip. He's a very good manager but he isn't turning us into Liverpool in 2 weeks ffs.

That's fair. That's absolutely fine. We sold Walker, and it wasn't handled well. But I remember that time too, and there still was complaining. Walker was never in the right place, Rose couldn't defend (partly true BTW but OK), and Davies and Trippier were jokes. Which was all absolutely crap. And I too did my fair share of complaining about Davies his first season but I was wrong about him back then, he is actually rather good and has been for at least three seasons. Point being, the FBs who theoretically would satisfy SC AND sign for Tottenham don't exist. The same category of CMs/DMs on the other hand actually does exist.I remember starting a thread praising our full-backs when we had Walker, Trippier, Rose, and Davies. They were integral to how we played. Walker leaving had a pretty big impact on our tactics, and Pochettino never really recovered from that.
That triangle of Aurier at RB Sanchez at RCB with Sissoko at RDM is an accident waiting to happen. Far to many mistakes in them to go through 90 minutes without at least one of them messing up.
