Honestly just don't think Jose will ever be able to win with some fans.
Can almost guarantee that some of the people criticising him for making lots of changes would have also been criticizing him if he'd played most of the same 11 from the weekend. They'd have been saying he's not utilising the whole squad, not giving people a chance, relying on the same players all the time and not rotating/resting enough.
Likewise, the people criticising him for making so many subs early on would have probably been saying he's stubborn and reacting too slow if he'd left it until 60-65 mins like most managers probably would have.
And I even bet the people criticizing him for calling the team out on a poor performance would have been annoyed if he'd tried to brush it off like it wasn't a big deal or say that we were just unlucky.
The reality is he put out a pretty good team still, as shown by the fact he even put Lloris in, and it should have been capable of doing the job. I don't buy that it was a really weak team at all - obviously lots of first choices missing but if we can't use those squad players in group stages of the Europa, when can we?
When it wasn't working, he changed things fast. Second half was better, but still not very good. Just one of those games where it didn't click and nothing was coming off.
He took some of the blame himself but had every right to call people out in my opinion. Not because we should expect the first half players to have pulled off a worldie performance (given some are bound to be a bit rusty) but because some of them didn't look bothered. We know with Jose it's about giving 100% for the team, and it didn't seem like a lot of them did that.
All of that said, I think he got 2 things wrong. Taking off Lo celso and Vinicius. I suspect Lo celso was partially down to him just coming back from injury and wanting him for the Brighton match. I also suspect taking off Vinicius was more about trying to make the second half team more balanced, as not sure we'd have had much of a midfield left otherwise.
So I'm not saying he's totally blameless but if you honestly think that the biggest problem last night was Jose, I think you just don't like our manager.
