But honestly this goal papers over the cracks. We’ve been awful yet again

Jose needs to change his tactics and bring on Lo Celso for Winks and Bergwijn for Lucas

Great move. Pity our ‘game plan‘ is way too reliant on just pulling goals out of our arse. However, we’ve just signed one of the best in the world at that.

If that is the Tanguy we are getting then bloody wonderful! The only player with any composure in that team today.

Got mixed feelings on that goal. Mourinho will just see it as proof that he is right, play passive, wait for the front three to create something from nothing

outstanding by tanguy

When you see Ndombele do that - release us on a fast break with Kane and Son such quality, you can see the potential of this side.

SO what on earth do we do about the fact we are a complete shambles in every other part of the pitch. Is Mourinho's shape and instruction wrong? Are the players not listening?

Never ever seen a Mourinho side look so baffled in their structure.

Sissoko on for Lucas and go 442 with Son joining Kane up front. Get Ndombele on the ball as much as possible.

Regardless of the goal, how can we be satisfied playing that way? I honestly can’t remember ever having a period of sustained pressure in their half. Same every week. Jose won’t last much longer. Pathetic approach. I thought the game was about glory? Playing with a swagger? This is verging on anti football for a third game in a row. We don’t even look solid while absorbing pressure.
