You never did. Unless you mean sympathise with Dier and Davies because in your warped mind Poch and Kane etc held them back from success.

I'm calling it as now though.
Yes, on paper some of them seemed logical if unspectacular. Now most seem tragically bad.
I mean we were only let's say £10m off Skriniar.
If we'd got Skriniar it would've 100% improved our league position and we therefore would get more money at the end of the season.
Risk = Reward.
Maybe Jose shouldn't have gone all out to give a 4yr deal of £125k per week to Alderwield or a 4yr contract at £85k per week to Dier? These two players have been his targets whilst he was at Utd, he made a very big thing about tieing them down to new contracts at Spurs, made it his absolute priority!
In his bed, he must lie.
Is that on the players, or how they are being used though ?
Doherty being a prime example of misuse by manager
You don't half talk a lot of shite, PSGs resources, squad quite frankly shits on ours is more the reason.
PSGs ability to compete in the UCL wasn't ever to do with there ability it was to do with their motivation, walking a shit league week in week out makes it quite difficult to compete in more competitive matches when called apon. There tie with United in the CL last season was a perfect example.
Firstly Poch wasn't an attacking manager with us he was possession orientated, secondly he was manager to loose a 2 horse Tittle challenge on 2 occasions and failed to win finals, semi finals and quarter finals. His views on cups competitions, basically they were not worth in in his eyes, is probably the reason why he didn't win any.

Jesus here you are again, if you don't have the tools to implement a particular style of play, a manager of Jose's experience should be able to change that tyle of play to suit the tools he has. He rode in hailing what a great squad he had to choose from.
Exactly the same thing he did at United, we didn't wanna believe it, he had changed we thought but right now, this is going right along the same lines as his spell with them, without the trophies.
How people thought he would "change" with zero evidence to support it is utterly mind-boggling.
To be fair I was willing to give him time, even with the shit football we managed to get results with some good spells of play. Then the West Ham game happened and things went south, for all of it I still like him, and want him to turn it round sadly I cant see it.
so you're saying there's been no progress?
Don’t give me any power in politics/law enforcement/intelligence.
I’d be punishing everyone who thought bringing this fossil in was a good idea. I’m beyond angry and events at the Camp Nou just poured gasoline on how I feel.
Bunch of idiots. WINNER!

There is a reason why the most successful clubs in the world, the ones bagging all the trophies in their domestic leagues and competing in Europe at the highest level all play progressive football. Playing like Stoke doesn't win you trophies. The facts overwhelmingly support this.
you think that has nothing to do with mourinho blanketing them with midfielders to protect them? they are not good defenders and even worse footballers. the reason we cant get hold of the ball for a decent period of time is because the back line is riddled with donkeys who cant pass the ball well enough. sanchez, dier, aurier and davies wouldnt get into any side in the top half
thing is mate, it shouldn’t be a shit run of games. These are games our team if actually managed properly should be winning. Wolfsburg AC, Westham, Burnley and palace. Don’t care what anyone says, we should be winning all 4. Achieving this is another thing altogether and just goes to show how shite we have been, where we are worried about these games.
Are we blaming Jose for contracts now?
That not on Levy?
What was Jose supposed to say, ‘they’re shit, sell them’.
I imagine Levy told Jose that there wasn’t much money about so he has to work with what he has.
Totally agree, I just think right now in the derby games we simply don't have the extra fight needed in the derby games, Burnley will be a proper shithouse game. But yeah we should be beating those teams.
It did in the past see Leicester City or Jose’s Chelsea. But attacking football with Pep and Klopp in the league has changed the game, you would have to have an insanely good defensive midfield and back line to have even the slightest hope and we don’t.
I dunno I think Levy buckled with Toby, its pretty clear he was going leaving probably due to the contract not being long enough, Jose joins and he gets a 4 year deal?
Only they know that though.
All we can see is mediocrity
