Jose 2015: "We don't do draws. I will rather lose chasing a win than settle for a draw"

Actually he said it in 2014. So yes he is changing his resolution in 2015, 'we don't do loses. I'll rather keep a draw than take a risk and then lose'

Except when a draw means you stay 5 clear

[zolayes 14,489]

I hope Jose washed his hands before eating

Here's the thing. The issue isn't so much that we parked the bus but that we had absolutely no tactical plan other than to keep inviting unneccessary pressure. Would it be that risky to counter them with 3 players with well calculated and rehearsed play? Not to mention the benefit of holding the ball and retaining posession in midfield instead of hoofing it aimlessly off field just to invite another wave of constant attack.

Meh they wanted it more, had more energy and most of their 1st team available so... I would have been pissed if Costa and Fabregas played and we still did this

120 mins hard fought against Livershit on Tuesday night, Costa suspended, Cesc and Luis injured, Schurrle and Salah not available due to transfers, under this circumstance we got a draw and keep the 5pts gap between our main title rival Shitty, yet some of you guys call this match a shameful. Get a fucking grip, so I guess you all prefer a splendid lose then.

This.

We lost our two best attacking players. We had no subs except drogba to inject attacking energy. We were clearly tired in the 2nd half like Matic said, they're not robots.

Our fullbacks were getting exploited constantly, the centrebacks were having to come across to cover, which in turn meant that the midfielders had to drop back. Citeh had a lot of players forward so the attacking players had to drop back. They flooded us and made it virtually impossible for us to break.

That's why I don't take what he says seriously anymore. It's shameful he had us playing like that today and on other occasions as well, like a small pub team.

Lol are you fucking serious? Do you not understand that we played a 120mins on tuesday, lost Costa & Fabregas & Luis & Schurrle & Salah hence having no decent subs? Maybe you should support Arse, they play good football regardless of end result. Yeah fuck off!

That's just my opinion , an opinion the owner of the club also shares. No need to get defensive like a little bitch. If you like the way we played in the 2nd half, that's fine by me. Let's pretend we never play that way and it's only an oddity or anomaly because Costa and Fabregas were not there. Those two were there at the Etihad and what happened exactly? We played like dinosaurs, defending for 90 mins, like a pub side. The investment isn't matching the football.

If we don't win the league or CL this season, he'll be gone, whether you like it or not.

He did his best today.

Where is @supporter when you need him?

But what kind of fan/supporter are you ? The rules are to get behind the managers whatever the circumstances are, not to wish him to go out if he ends trophyless, the problem of nowadays is that no body can put himself in the manager's place and take the day by day decisions José is having, it isnt Football Manager 2015, the investement is totally matching the results, the football is also very good, and its not two or three defending halves against City that will change the fact that we are arguably the best team in England, and the one with the most chances of winning more than one trophy at the end of the season.
