Results usually came after poor games or slow starts. One situation is pretty common this season: The team have a slow start, then concede a goal in 2nd half. Then Mourinho come up with 3 subs in last 20 minutes, or the team score a goal, and fail to kill off the game, concede the equalizer, then Jose come up with 3 subs. In most games the team needs at least two changes to look good. It means he is selecting the wrong line up most part of the time. I don't get the "team lacked spirit" thing. This is his jobs after all. If players were lenient in game against Newcastle, of course thats his fault. He must find a way to motivate his players, and get the best out of them. In fact the team lacked an answer to Newcastle tough defensive system. Desire to win has nothing to do with that. Even the game against City was far from a great game, but in general people forget the weakness when the results are positive. Game against Spurs, first half was an one sided match, they had the chance to kill the game. Poor game against MU. Mourinho team is far from convincing yet. At the moment its really hard to see this team winning the tittle or going too far in UCL. Days ago he said the team was inconsistent in past two seasons. Thats was right, but he is the special one, isn't he? So we can't expect more than AVB and RDM mediocrity?
