Said it in the match thread ... we have to be the least intelligent cunts in the league
it’s staggering to watch it unfold again and again

it’s staggering to watch it unfold again and again
Think it would be toxic. Perhaps not as bad as Grahams years where fans spent most of the game fighting over who was to blame more Sugar/Graham/no one. Witnessed a few of those and have no desire to go back to that.
Is mourinho doing anything one wouldn’t expect of Moyes ?
Great point and the answer is probably not.
Seems genuinely scared to pick anyone else with any attacking intent
Like I said last night, so most are José out then?
Jose has got to start showing that he is making a significant difference.
This for me is the difference between supporters and fans.
Not meant literally but it's where the bar for success can now be placed
That was the season we sold Berbatov on deadline day and got the booby prize of Frazer Campbell on loan, wasn't it?
I expect there were a few on here at the time arguing that we got the better deal
I'm Jose needs to change back to what we was doing up to the 82nd minute of the west ham game. 433 be ruthless then go defensive when we're under pressure and play on the counter.
Another aspect of that, if we had appointed Moyes in November 19 and he had produced the exact same results and performances that we've seen from Mourinho would anyone be defending him?
I agree. The difference is that 2016-2018 we had a better manager.
Maybe not a more decorated manager, but a manager much more able to elevate players above their natural talent and nurture a team on a restricted budget
Seems like what we been doing - with a lot of mixed finishing denying us the kind of results we had in the beginning of the season.
As for the attack then defend when we are under pressure bit, again, this is what we are seeing. What most seem to not appreciate is that we only went and brought in some tough bastards into the squad - last transfer window. So there are still players within the squad who lack the mental bit to see themselves over the line.
You can say Kane has it in abundance, so does Loris to a lesser extent, and Son seems to be learning.
Seriously, other than that, I am struggling to think of anyone else in the team that will not wilt under the slightest pressure. We lost 10 points to the issue. It is not tactics. It is mentality. Few inches here and there are costing us points IMO. That will continue to be addressed until we get it right, via training or through subsequent transfer windows.
Just my humble opinion anyway.
In the current crisis I don't think the financial carrot of Champions League football is as juicy or lucrative as in normal times.
So I would imagine Levy would like a trophy or 2 to address his record as our most unsuccessful chairman since the war in terms of silverware
So you mean to tell me you have seen absolutely no improvement in this team for you to write this? How can you compare a manager having us at the top of the league for 23 days to a top 4 at best manager?
We are not the finished article and yet we were in the mix for a decent amount of the season. That is progress on any book.
I believe we have gone to defensive since that west ham game. I feel like they've been shackled a lot more since that game than before it. The leeds result aside we are rarely scoring more than one and I believe that to be because of what's being drilled into them. We know Jose loves clean sheets but the strengths of this side are more on the attacking side than defensive. We don't have Terry and Carvalho at the back with makelele and essien in front of them.
