It is not the %of possession that is important but what you do with it. Too often under Poch it was pass, pass, pass etc but no end product. It could be very frustrating. Also the insistence on bringing the ball out from the GK led to more possession but the times we lost it and conceded a goal. Now GK kicking the ball long will on many occasions lose possession but if Kane can get it to one of our colleagues then we can very quickly be in a threatening position. Now Mourinho's approach has resulted in some poor performances but whilst I hate it when we are under constant pressure, I like it when we quickly break into a goal scoring situation. The style of play we have seen is not the finished article and needs improvement and both the Bournemouth and Palace matches were poor but we have seen loads of possession in the Poch era and as little end product.

Funny how we all see things differently. I absolutely hate it if the keeper kicks it long unless there’s a quick break on.

Jose's a "winner" translates into knocked out of FA Cup vs relegated Norwich, knocked out of CL by rookie coach and team built on buttons and a win % at 45% (worst in over a decade).

That did shock a lot who were boasting about the serial winner getting us a cup this season or at least far in it. We never came close. In fact we usually got further in the CL under poch ironically. Personally I don't think jose will get us as far as poch did in the CL, if he manages to qualify for it like poch normally did.
 
Guido said:
How does that actually translate?

Give some examples, say what specifically did Real Madrid do that we didn't to win three CL's.

What did Liverpool do in the CL final that we didn't, what specific bit of cuntery was it?

When Chelsea beat us in FA Cup-semi, League Cup final and League Cup semi-final what specifically did they do? I'll help out on the FA Cup semi, Mosses dived (but when they played Woolich in the final he did exactly the same thing, didn't win a pen, got sent off and they lost).

It's complete and utter bollocks.

The worst thing for me was when we were 2-0 up at chelsea & decided to be nasty cunts which cost us the game yet people were loving it. Probably the nastiest I saw us & it actually turned in to a disaster.

Even when he was at Chelsea I begrudgingly found him occasionally very funny.

He’s a sarcastic son of a bitch, that’s for sure.

He's always been a cunt to me. But now he's our cunt i sort of turn a blind eye to his cuntishness.

He's at his best when he's being a funny cunt. When he goes into bitter, whiny cunt mode then i still can't stand him.

I still haven't grown to like him very much yet, but there are moments when I do find him pretty funny

I don't think he is the right manager for us going forward but at least his press conferences are usually great.

I never understood the complaints about him, he is hilarious and the "antics" that people whine about are always funny.

I would gladly take his personality over a whiny little bitch like Klopp who couples that with his fake emotion running around like a moron all over the pitch.

For anyone criticizing Mourinho I suggest you try and outperform him with a central midfield of Sissoko and Winks.
And before anyone mentions Can't run, won't run (Ndombele). He's shit. I'll save you the bother. Biggest waste of money in the clubs history.

He's doing a decent job with the material he has. We a crying out for Hoijberg just to shore it up in their.

I honestly think half of you watch a different sport to me.

Mourinho with the players he wants and time to mould them into his team will get us back into the top 4 and bring a trophy, it might not be pretty but I'll take it.

Top 4 & a trophy next season? Fancy a wager?

Unless you win the CL, it means jack shit. We lost it. Nobody will remember that and the only team will be in the history books are Liverpool.

Hmmm pretty harsh though. So if Jose gets us to a CL final & we lose then it means jackshit? I think its a bit of an accomplishment getting us to a final. Especially if we consider him getting us up to 6th as an accomplishment.

True. I’ve disliked him for years, but still found him amusing at times. A bit like Liam Gallagher.

It’s kind of refreshing to see him batting for our side.
 
I think we all know ENIC and Levy position when they sacked Poch and brought Mourinho in. I think to them now is "f" the playing style, just bring Spurs a trophy. So if you're not ready to have this mentality then it's best for you to sit out Mourinho's tenure because he will not change for anyone or any club.

I think it's more like "f" the playing style, just bring Spurs champions league football. That's all they care about because that brings in money. We could not win anything for another 20 years as long as we qualify for the CL they are happy.

Don't worry as you all will know Mourinho will be in the press conf telling you the intention of the club and you will then see whether they back him or provide him with his 3rd choice of players. You lots will then use that to say he "burn the house down".

Specialist in winning cups don't you know! Will win us a cup or 2 this season they said. Well, how we are expected to beat the likes of Norwich at home. I blame poch!

The funny thing is that you have to blame Poch for the state of the squad.
But you don’t.
Like many others trying to genuinely dismiss the fact he took over mid season as if it plays no part.

You’re a real snake of a poster, never actually committing to a view.
You hate the fact Jose is here but you’ll never commit to it so when the glory comes you can be there asking for the post where you said “I HATE JOSE”

well yeh mate because this club are forever the bridesmaids but never the brides. If we are going to get to any more finals, then we need to go about bloody winning the thing. How many more times do we keep saying “ well we was unlucky , next time “ , it’s about time this club achieved proper success. Proper success and accomplishment is winning the final, not losing it.

It will mean the same as Poch losing a final.
Why are we now celebrating the semi final trophy?
You slag off ENIC then claim the club have achieved big things in the CL.....oh no that was a miracle wasn’t it, nothing to do with the players fighting through the managers shit tactics eh...

You lack perspective.
Jose took over with no pre season, no summer window and a team in 14th who hadn’t won away for 11 months, had Eriksen already gone in his mind, all our back up strikers sold and then had an injury list worst than anything Poch ever had.
So he did alright.

In your silly little mind using this theory I can say that Poch is just two PL places better as a manger than Harry Redknapp, and two rounds better in the CL.

What happened to the 2018 window excuse Scott? You and your cronies never mentioned it after November.....why’s that?
