bababoom 4,478 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 People say we played well last night, but did we really? We managed to have loads of the ball but we created next to nothing until the last 10 minutes when we went for it. In that time Stoke could have and probably should have scored from two counter attacks. I still think we should keep Jose but this is astonishing. How can a team that won the league last season with so much ease be 16th? Jose may need to look at freshening up his training methods and playing style and as Gary Neville said, play some fucking youngsters. What have we got to lose now?

Rhino's Skin 972 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Rumours say that he is keen to replace Van Gaal at United. What if he is trying to get himself sacked to make that move? thought LvG had another season after this one......bit of a long term ploy by Mourinho if thats to be believed.p.s. that flag on your profile.

Popular Post! MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 8, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted November 8, 2015 This graph makes it clear that attack-wise, this team has been on a terrible decline since 2014/2015. This lends further credence to Jose's inability to affect his sides on the offensive end. Mourinho's teams have never had any sustained way of playing in attack. Just relying on counter attacks and the quality of certain individual players will not bring long term success. Excluding the initial spurt in quality of football after the Costa and Fabregas signings, we've been very unconvincing in attack throughout Mourinho's 2nd spell. Mourinho is to busy making proclamations like "when you reach my level, it's difficult to learn from others". Other managers continue learning, his ego means he's stood still.Another thing is this. We have 5 outfield players of all players in the PL to have registered the most minutes. That's crazy. I see a lot about how Oscar has played so much football in the last few years, I wasn't aware that Eden had even played more. Like Capello said recently, Mourinho runs his players into the ground. It's not to difficult to imagine this is one of the biggest reasons we've struggled this season.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 The player I feel sums up our current malaise is Baba. He has to wait ages for his debut mainly because it's pretty apparent that the manager doesn't rate him. He's then given a run when the team's confidence is shot to pieces and it's affecting him badly. He's no Roberto Carlos but he's looking pretty lost out there at the moment and I feel for the kid.Filipe Luis mark II. The fact that Zouma was played at Right back when Jose's favourite son got hurt says it all.People say we played well last night, but did we really? We managed to have loads of the ball but we created next to nothing until the last 10 minutes when we went for it.

How can a team that won the league last season with so much ease be 16th? Jose may need to look at freshening up his training methods and playing style and as Gary Neville said, play some fucking youngsters. What have we got to lose now?Of course we didn't play "well". A bunch of talented attacking players huffing and puffing, playing directionless football has been our story for majority of Jose's 2nd spell. Teams like City and Arsenal, that actually have a style of play create far more clear cut chances than we do. Instead, our manager likes to fantasize about "so many chances" we apparently create in his post match interviews.

Adnane 1,101 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 It is not impossible at all for us to get top 4. As good as Leicester have been, you assume that by the end of the season we should be above them, hopefully. 14 points behind them while 13 behind United. Assume now that City, Arsenal and United are top three. Then you assume our big challengers for the 4th spot will be Spurs, Liverpool and the lesser likes of West Ham, Everton and Southampton. Our next game is Norwich at home which should be a home banker. We then go to Spurs which will be a crucial game. If we can get our act together and beat them, we then have Bournemouth which is surely a home win for us followed by Leicester away and Sunderland and Watford at home. Really, we are good enough to get maximum points there. If not maximum we should be targetting around 13 points at least. We do that then all of a sudden our top 4 chances should look much better. Look at the run Arsenal put together last season and they were doing bad around this stage last season too, albeit not too bad. They ended up finishing 3rd and got top 4 easily.Hopefully the same with us. Got to keep the faith. We have got too many talented players to think we cannot get a run going :blue scalf:I love your positivity !

Popular Post! Melanicus 5,208 Posted November 8, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted November 8, 2015 We are actually playing better from game to game. We're attacking, keeping the ball and creating actions. The biggest problem I've notice tho, is that there are no players in the box when they need to be. I can't say how many times I've noticed Willian/Hazard running down the wing yesterday and at the moment when they should pass or cross into the box, they don't. Why? Because there is no one in the box. Costa is usually on the wing or running into the box when he should be in there already. The only thing that is left for Willian or Hazard to do is run up to the corner flag or pass the ball backwards. And that's how a chance is wasted. If you look at Remy, he actually makes those correct runs and moves in the box. He isn't late as Costa is. In my opinion, we should play Remy more often until Costa learns what he needs to do in attack.

Its like he cant be bothered to press.I'm just using RLC as the example. People say it's disrespectful to bash Mou on things - my point is that Mou made these statements and to call him out on them is not disrespectful. If he didn't set the expectation, nobody would be questioning it as much. Again, it's Mou's short term thinking, he will say anything to sound smart at that precise minute, but long term it makes him look an idiot (most press conferences) It's just yet another reason I want a change (not Rodgers, what was I drinking last night) but Hiddink for me - just somebody to come in, calm the situation down, play a balanced team - grab a few wins and then rebuild in the summer with our 'first choice' manager (whoever that will be!) bethos1, Irakozium257, Changingman_2000 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
