Has it been the players fault for the entire season?
They are all scared to death of making a mistake, Mourinho has shackled them to the point of a complete and utter lack of confidence, whilst simultaneously making them absolutely terrified of the opposition, whoever they are

He’s cancerous, it’s over

So how come we won the first leg 2-0?

Is it possible that the problem is simply with some players like Lloris alleged?

The fact of the matter is Kane had 3 chances in that game he should have put away.

1st goal was a worldly. Aurier maybe could have got tighter.

Both goals 2 and 3 were Ndombele and Sissoko compete inability to make a tackle.

Ndombele must be sold ASAP and a competent midfielder in. He's not suiting our system at all and isn't making an effort.

right sell your best midfielder i can bet you my house if jose start with a midfield 3 preferrably ndombele locelso and hojberg things would be different we get out numbered in midfield all the time thats why the hoof up the ball the time because if only 2 mids showing for the ball they can be easily closed down

Because we have individual talent that can overcome Jose's ineptness.

It is amazing that you have not only continue to try to come up with excuses for Jose, but now seem to be ramping up the apologist nonsense even more now. I guess when you are already in as deep as you are and can see the end coming you might as well go all the way.

Apparently he was very shit at manutd but still won trophies. Why not let someone who knows how to win trophies have a go in a one off final. We arent losing anything by trying that. Its not like we have been winning trophies without mourinho anyway. Poch stumbled into 2 finals in 5 years and failed miserably with bad decisions both times. I want us to win something for once. Its been too long.

The players aren’t playing for him and ignore his instructions - how on earth is he going to convert that apathy into a side that can beat City?!!! It’s pure madness, the fact he won trophies previously doesn’t really alter the odds

If they are ignoring his instructions then maybe he will drop them and pick the ones that do listen. Lamela, Lucas, Kane etc are still doing their best. Dont worry about it too much, its not in my hands anyway.

Ndombele is not our best midfielder. He can barely play 60 minutes, and when he does he spends half the game ball watching.

I'm sure he has some talent, but he doesn't have the desire the show that at Spurs.

It's strange how such an inept manager has managed to be so successful over the years, while these individual talent that can overcome his ineptitude have repeatedly failed.

The statements by Lloris made clear where the problem lies, but feel free to keep blaming Mourinho for everything.

Even if Mourinho never wins another trophy, history will still remember him as one of the greatest managers ever. We on the hand will continue to wait on these individual talents that can overcome his ineptitude but can't overcome colchester.

I think he's got a pretty big part in creating that cancer and enhancing it. And if he stays, it will become worse. Not better. I'm not saying we should dump a few players. But first we dump Mourinho.

I think this part is is towards Mourinho.

“It’s just the accumulation. Obviously, we are a club full of ambition, but I just think that the team at the moment just reflects what is going on in the club. We have a lack of basics, lack of fundamentals, and all our performances just in relation of that.”

I also think Mourinhos leadership creates this kind of poisonous atmosphere in any group. In a team coached by a good leader this shit doesn't happen. That's one of the reasons I want Potter.
