Mourinho should stfu...

Lost count with number of excuses he gave after horrible defeat he suffered during his managerial stint... Despite having luxury of buying players...

Ironic but the fact remains he is 110% spot on.

Yes Jose is bang on the fucking money. In ll fairness though, this is the season we have. We couldn't get a top manager and we couldn't bring in any players whilst losing one the greatest players we've ever had.

So I guess it's fine for the club to say 'this will be a shit season'. However, they better be fucking ruthless from this summer onwards. But then again, the board are fucking clueless so who knows where we go from here.

Spot on... While missing many key players to injury... Most of the goals we concede are due to personnel problem...yes I agree our defensive structure and organisation needs to improve.. Can't bear how soft Kovacic and Jorginho are allowing players easily breeze past them... Countless individuals errors Zouma and Azpi made constituting a major fraction of the goals we have conceded...I hope with our healthy and fully fit players back Lampard  will try Kante and Ruben in midfield especially against big teams where we have much defending to do...

Is it a personnel problem? Sure James' athleticism could've prevented some of the crosses Sheffield put in, but we are conceding goals by marking each other vs the opposition! The day we look organised at defending set pieces, is the day I will genuinely be positive moving forward. Because as of right now, not one player out injured currently can help us. This is on Lampard. That said, I do believe having a recognised back 4 playing week in week out may help 'some' issues. 

We are sacrificing a lot by taking out Jorginho and putting two players who have no experience in leading a transition from deep.

Yes it is... Though we need to improve our defensive structure because we look disjointed when defending...

Rudiger James Ruben will thousand miles help our defensive aspect of the game... Kovacic and Jorginho too soft for my liking from the defensive point of the game...

I edited by post after you quoted me but having a recognised back 4 may help some issues. Form some sort of chemistry and understanding.

Defence doing enough to bail out the team. Otherwise, the midfield looks bloody disjointed and Kovacic & Jorginho are useless in defensive situations. 

Unfair on them imo. Even if you are right, that’s their characteristic. They are defensive players mostly by their ability to keep possession.

However some players, esp the younger ones are very direct and don’t yet know how to do that.

Pep done the exact same thing after City drew against Spurs, does that mean City are not a top team anymore.

Mourinho's point was using it continuously to defend a poor result, which he's right. It's small-time. 

It comes to a point where when do we stop excusing poor results with 'we performed well, it just wasn't our day', to actually seeing positive signs of improvement? We can forgive Lampard to an extent as there is some progression, particularly with youth, but it's been mentioned quite a few times that it will lose its value quick if these errors we are seeing don't go away.

I expect better than them putting in half-hearted pressing or challenges. They are just flimsy and weak!

Sure I do as well, not excusing that. Something it’s something silly though as in when they were both chasing the runner, there a misunderstanding... someone should have brought player down before he was in a dangerous area.

and to your point Jorginho turning his back towards the ball was a bit pathetic.

With all that out of the way, we are going to have trouble defending if we don’t keep the ball having specialists at that in the middle.

A bit of Sarriball might be nice. :ph34r:

For me it's all right at the minute because we are at the stage of development where performances take just as much stock as results and to match who are whether we like it or not the best team in the land right now and one of the best in PL history is a very positive sign at this point.

I however do agree that over time that these type of soundbites will have to erode and be replaced by more substance. That's where Arsenal went wrong 2005 onwards, even when Cesc/Nasri etc hit their prime it they still had the same targets as they did when the players were teenagers (ie play well and get top 4).
