Not sure anyone want him and 8 years? lol that is some patience, I didn't believe anyone could still be having faith in this dude after 2008. And since then he has proved that right by doing f.a.

I am just annoyed our best chance of a trophy is gone. Also the way we lost it is terrible, no pride, no climax. Similar to that Arsenal-Spurs game 3rd round. I would be happy if City won because they were the better team and we gave it our best shot, but the players just decided to throw the game away before kick off. No offense but with that attitude you won't win many big things. You get paid £100k per week, at least show some effort for it. This team's mentality need questioning imo, they don't seem like a Jose team at all. Unable to hang on against Bayern in super cup then lost, lose to an underdog in Capital 1 Cup through the last min, afraid to have a go at a better team, losing many points through bad late defending against crap teams. But saying this, if we stuff Gala in 2 weeks away from home and remain top of the BPL by then, things will be forgiven for the moment.

Loving the under reaction to this defeat, fucking hell now our only real chances of trophies are CL and BPL which is really unlikely especially with the former. This is actually our best chance at a trophy this season. In title race we are the little horses, in CL we stand next to no chance against Bayern, Madrid...etc unless we repeat the City performance in each of those matches, something we have shown to be clearly unable to do. If we don't win BPL or CL then no matter how you look at it we had better seasons under the FSW and Robbie, who are both not world class managers. What is the point of bringing a top class manager in if he doesn't make a difference? Or is this because it is 'transition' so it doesn't really matter? Believe it or not, our club need to be WINNING TROPHIES EVERY SEASON if we want to be seen as one of the best in the world. Coming to semi final or take the title race to the last few rounds are not good enough, a club of our status need to do that as min EVERY SINGLE SEASON. If we gone trophy less, any manager of the last 10 years would have been sacked but Jose will get a pass, why?

Agreed, MUST PLAY THIS TEAM.

Not directly but through indication. Something like this ''OK boys this match is not a must win by any chance, just don't go out there and make us looking embarrassing. Try to limit their attack by not allowing to surge forward at will and most importantly DO NOT DO ANYTHING STUPID AND GET YOURSELF INJURED, we got really important games coming up and games like these are not worth it'' Or at least that is how the players shown on the pitch in the 2nd half. Btw your point about him taking the competition seriously, then why didn't he tell the team to go for it in the last half and hour? Or do you think they are seriously that tired they are incapable of making runs...etc anymore? And is this a coincidence that this game is very similar to the Basel away game, when he told the players to park it 100%?

It is really not that hard, if he insisted the team to go out there and attack we would at least get a shot on target, no? That or our team is not good enough to trouble City which we all know isn't true. If he told the players to sit back, they sit back. He tell them to go out all attack, they do that. Judging by the commitment from the team in the 2nd half we know which 1 he chose, probably told them to keep it slow to avoid injuries.

Well he did pretty ridiculous things before tbf, this is not the 1st time. His things have been both good and bad such as parking the bus tactic against Barca at their brilliant best and won, poking Tito in the eye, Reaching 100 points with Madrid, losing to Atletico at home and so on...etc to sum up his career have been full of controversial incidents and decisions, it is what making him who he is today. Schurrle isolation rank no where near compare to some other imo. If we won obviously not, well I would still complaining about Schurrle situation but not with Luiz or any mistake the team made. The Stoke game was a mandatory must win, we won despite playing 2nd team, they were terrible as well so that contribute to it. Then can you explain why he instructed the team to pass around slowly and let City swamp all over us? Or is this just that they are too good? I really doubt it. Our team approach is down to the coach's instruction, make no mistake, if he told the players to go out there and attack until their legs are broken, they will do it and THEY CAN DO IT as shown 2 weeks ago. He didn't want to play kid because he didn't want to be seen as throwing the game away by the fans, but now it looks that way anyway with his approach.

Well you ask for Jose's best team, there you have it.

Cech Ivanovic Cahill Terry Dave Matic Ramires Willian Oscar Hazard Eto'o Well 1st team for standard games against most teams Cech Ivan Cahill Terry Dave Matic Luiz Ramires Willian Eto'o Hazard Against top top teams like Barca, Bayern, City, Madrid Was that so hard?

He breaks play up and he is good in Nigerian team so he could do a job here

Well he did it with Bertrands and Cole( who imo will not be here next season) and he has proved it before, anyone who get on his bad side is done whether they are his enemies or allies. Ranging from Pepe, Wenger, Pep, Pellegrini, Casilas, Ramos and so on...etc. Did he actually repair his relationship with any players/managers before? or after the mind game battle they are considered enemies forever like Mata, Kevin? And I would agree if he wants to win the game, but telling the player to have a jog here and there in a match he clearly doesn't care about, at least make it seems like he is giving other an opportunity by playing them. Might as well get raped 5-0 instead of playing our best 11 and lose 'only' 2-0

He does nothing close to decent in recent games, not even any important interception. Unless you count touching the balls a few times as decent. When games like against Newcastle he could surge forward and show off his skill in recent years he doesn't do it. When the team need him to be on his guard against West Brom and today he didn't do his job properly. Basically he is nothing useful to the team now apart from putting in a good shift at CDM here and then. Can't believe so many teams want him especially for 30m+, must be his reputation.

Need to use this week's break really well, if we repeat these sort of lay back performance could see Jose's record coming to an end. And they WILL DOMINATE POSSESSION, WE MUST BE READY TO USE QUICK COUNTER ATTACK.

Yeah before attending the Arsenal party. I could see his situation really similar to Kevin, 1st was really liked by the coach but then committed an error and never manage to repair it.

Haha could see Jose throwing away our game at Anfield with these sort of performance if we are out of it then and they are still in even though it is unlikely

Because our fan would think of any excuse to defend him no matter what? Ranging from the players errors to mindset and all that, no one thought about his crap half heart containment tonight?

Didn't even tell the players to show some urgency, fucking hell. At least if you want to throw it away play the fucking reserve 11 instead of best 11. It is like saying we are gonna go to the race in our Ferrari but drive it safe today because I don't feel like it. Obviously you are gonna fucking lost, might as well save the fuel and brought out a Ford Focus instead. Hazard, Willian, Eto'o all could have done with a rest, same with Cahill, Dave and Matic.

Zouma cannot come soon enough, hopefully PSG/Bayern/Barca or whoever bid £30m so we can get rid of this guy.

He is getting sold in 2016 me think, maybe even in the summer if a £10m+ bid come in. Squad depth for what when he cannot even play in a game that the team don't give a shit about like today?

But isn't Mou's job is to motivate the players in these situations? He looks like he don't give a shit himself as well.

Yep definitely, hope we don't get a hiding now.

You know you had a shit game when the fans are celebrating you being replaced by Torres.

Loving the urgency being shown by the players, you can tell we are gonna delay it till like the 75th mins and start to actually play fast football. Fucking hell.

Giving youngster chances, basically admitting defeat from Jose

The worst case come we will park it hard after going up against small teams...etc so don't worry, we will make top 4 with Mou in charge, Just that trophy less is real possiblity
