In the PL under Hiddink we've picked up 16 points from 9 games.

 

We had 15 points in 16 games under José.

 

If you can't see the improvement based on that alone, frankly, you're blind.

 

Mourinho - 16 games, 15 points.

 

Hiddink - 10 games, 18 points. 

 

The man has worked wonders on a broken squad.

I hope he maintains us attacking from the first minute. He has clearly improved our attacking play and we create chances anytime we attack, but we are still not very secure at the back. 

But we should not wait till the second half to attack anymore because it cost us wins and we got too many draws. We just need to play to our strength, which is attacking.

He hasn't done much different on the starting team front but probably a lot has gone on in  the training ground. I look at Costa and I reckon there's been a word in his ear. Not looking for too much trouble, sharper and looking lean and mean. Costa's form has lifted the form of many others but mostly Cesc who is playing superbly and finding runners that weren't there under Jose...for whatever reason.

Just waiting for Hazard to get into his stride again after injury and miserable form. I'm rather hoping he gets some fortune v PSG that he can carry over.

Guus, is an absolute gentleman who must be a pleasure to work under. There are many components to being a good manager and Guus seems to have plenty in his locker. He's certainly putting out happy looking players.

 Of course not having John is a bit of a setback as a leader, but I'm not the kind of manager who starts moaning, moaning, moaning. We go on and I have full confidence in the players who replace."

Hiddink having a gig at managers like Mourinho and Wenger that always moan about everything.

I am completely against this.  The club will struggle to finish in the TOP 4 and although he has steadied he ship, the play has been unadventurous.

He mentioned how he envied PSG depth. 

That's a message to our club.

The Board doesn't give a damn beyond a Pato loan and a Papy purchase.  They are only interested in competing for the negative net spend award having now bested Stoke, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Watford.

We have had a low net spend in recent years because Jose was the only manager in Europe who wants to flog off good players.

Pretty much my thought. Undefeated, hard to beat, fight till the end....this points good for our cup competition. 

The scenes if we get to the CL final and win it.

Especially if Spurs finish fourth.

Not sure if Mourinho was responsible for selling good players but how about buying good players?  Surely someone better than Papy and Hector was available?
