I agree that aurier has been better lately but he breeds panic with his rash decisions which are waiting around every corner.

I think he has a more defined role In attack, I've not checked the stats but he has been putting some great crosses in. Him and davies with a 3 man cm is where I can see jm going with the team.

I can’t stand watching thick footballers and our attack is full of them. Son should stay because when on form and he has been one of our best players and is direct and can score goals and have pace, but Alli and Moura Deary me.

with GLC, Gedson and Tanguy our midfield looks promising but our attack is in dire straits.

That’s cool, we’ll get money for nothing if we sell them.

I’ll get my gilet.

20 points from 12 matches as opposed to 14 in 12 under Poch. And that's with Kane missing the last two. Sure, might not be what we were expecting but extrapolate Poch's total over this last 12 and we are 14th with 28 points which is 5 from the drop and 12 from the top 4. Now you can come up with as much rubbish as you want about having a crystal ball to predict 'we were about to turn a corner' as most of the Poch obsessors i've come across tend to spout but however you want to dress it up he was clearly part of the problem along with the players. The upturn in points with the same group of players should tell you that. I hated to see it as I loved Poch but he just wasn't the same man any more. The situation with the players had affected him also.

I'd have hoped we'd have had 5 or 6 more points at this point under Mourinho, but you'd be an idiot to say there's been no mitigating factors with the scale of our injuries.

As for silverware, we're still in all competitions we mathematically have a chance to win - without Kane. Let's just see what we can do with a decent number 9 and a few players coming back.

Regardless of whether it was Pochettino's fault or not it doesn't fucking matter now because he's gone anyway.

Yes but we had the advantage of the
Managerial bounce phenomenon, after which it seems results have been poor. It was the opposite for poch, it was more of a
Stagnation than a bounce, losing the final didn't help

I agree with Danny1 Moura has been poor for a good long while & unless he scores he offers nothing to the team other than to give the ball away whenever he gets it. To be fair it wasn't just him, Lamela was poor, as were others & we don't seem able to keep the ball especially up front & if you can't keep the ball you can't play football.

We might have got 3 points last night, but it was less than convincing & if Norwich were better in front of goal I think we might have lost because I thought they had the better chances,

I agree with all of that, I was pointing out that we can't singling out individual players when the team is obviously in the midst of a general malaise

Sure, but then again couldn't you argue the players were not yet used to Jose's way of working?
