Tomo 21,751 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Anyone think Jose intentionally set us up to be exposed at City to make a message to the board about our squad? I know if we really wanted we could have parked the bus way harder like we did in the past and they wouldn't have been able to create so many chances. I am thinking if he did then it is a good thing because I would rather us be found out when the transfer window is still open so we can fix it with signings instead of starting perfectly with a few 5-0 wins and wait until October for the squad weaknesses to be found out like in 2010-11 season.While this might be cynical on Jose's part it is also beneficial for us in the long term.We didn't even start perfectly in 10-11, not in terms of performances anyway, those two 6-0s were the two most misleading 'big' wins I've ever seen.Also I very much doubt Mou threw the game, you do realise match fixing is illegal? Which would be pretty much what he done if he did what you suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfcs most wanted 657 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 VIPs: Jose Mourinho's last six #BPL defeats have come against a manager who has a surname starting in P: Pulis, Poyet, Pardew, Pochettino, Pulis (again) and Pellegrini. Can be framed better, since march 15 , 2014 Mourinho has lost ONLY lost 6 games in the PL and it came against Manager's whose surname starts with P (which really seems so important doesn't it ) xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would be pretty much what he done if he did what you suggested.Oh I don't mean as in official match fixing like telling the players to go out and lose on purpose or something like that but more like tweaking his tactics so our issues are exposed more clearly. For example anyone can see after the Swansea game how bad Ivanovic was destroyed by a speedy player and usually someone like Mou would move to rectify this straight away, yet a week later he seems to do nothing and as a result the same thing happened again. Also it is weird why we suddenly decided to play the highline in a big game away from home even though I bet Jose knew that would leave Cahill and Terry vulnerable due to their lack of pace, again this could be used to indicate that we desperately need a new CB. This is just 2 of many strange elements I have noticed about us since preseason, Jose knew these issues existed so instead of moving to temporarily fix them with tactics, he chose to let them be exposed further to encourage the board to sign new players.Like I said nothing wrong with this and sometime it is necessary thing to do as we want to be found out early in the season like atm instead of like a few years ago. stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the impression he gave was, that the board/Roman did want to spend a lot. So at that moment I thought ''how could he still convince the board?'' The answer was to lose big time against City, to give the board a wake up call, because apparently losing against Arsenal was not enough. I do not rule out that he intentionally played a high line (like you said) and played Cesc in the pivot while he normally plays Ramires there, even in games like Stoke and Westham away.

I hope they’ve had a laugh together. I hope they’ve talked it through - and that Terry is pulling the dressing room around him after a turbulent couple of weeks for the club. It’s about acceptance and consultation. It cannot be that Terry either a) plays every game or leaves the club. Jose Mourinho needs John Terry and John Terry needs Jose Mourinho." yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
