Yep Jose was proactive, but that didn't stop the football or the results being awful
Jose was the most soul destroyingly stubborn manager we’ve had other than Conte.
He refused to play Bale, Son and Kane together, ever
People keep saying “oh he needs to do this, needs to identify that, needs to change this”
He’s in his second season and is getting progressively worse. His tactics are all over the place and we look like a frail team that can get rolled over by any club in this league.
Zero personality unless it comes to talking about himself. Dont know the bloke. Dont know what this fraud has ever achieved in managing but he seems to tell us it’s a lot.
gone tonight please and get potter or poch back.

Was disgusting
He could have played Bale LB if he didn’t want to play him up top, was utter madness having him on the bench
A bit surprised it's that bad a start but with 3 losses maybe no surprise.
It doesn't feel as bad but our weakness of mind is massively problematic.
I think in context we play decent football. What we don't do so well I'is what needs sorting.
Yeah that was so frustrating, what a front 3 not to play together just to prove some point
Worth the sack alone outside of the results
Inwould have played Bale in midfield, anywhere. Physical strength and pace aside, also a quality footballer who always had time and passed the ball superbly. That team was ugly and he could have improved most positions
yeh I'm not saying his tactics were awesome or that his team selection was that either but during the game he would spot issues and react faster then any of our other recent managers.
wow. Genius material here
Ok but last season when we had the best start in PL it was different story innit.
We probably aren’t, but we’ve been close once or twice. I’d like to at least experience that again even if we won’t win it.
We won’t win shit with this system imo. When it really starts to matter in later stages, one wrong step and you’re out. At the moment we don’t show any consistency that could give me hope that we won’t fuck up in one of those knock out games.
totally agree but my point was that he was proactive. At least he would attempt to change things if he spotted an issue and didn't have his favourites.
I'm not going to go mad tonight in the same way I didn't go giddy-eyed when we beat United last week.
And it was pleasing if predictable that Postecoglpu was less than impressed.
For me it mostly falls with him and the so-called experienced players.
Manage the game effectively and draw the sting, especially at 2 up and away from home.
But part of that must be messaging and in that regard Postecoglou must know by now that we don't have players who can just be relied on to do the business.
It's a roller coaster season ahead. No doubt in my mind about that.
Whether that is viewed aspart of whatever the process or stagnation we shall see.
It's absolutely why Roy Keane is never convinced by us. This kind of stuff is always nearby.

That's back when I first starting watching football after I retired. The Bale situation was confusing because I would see him do things on the pitch very few others could do, but he was always one foot in and one foot out of the starting team. I remember reading things at the time which made me think he was not fully committed to being as good as his talents suggested. I don't think we'll ever know a lot of what went on back then.
He was sh!t mate. We would never have been 2 up.
Least he knows it was unacceptable.
Was a little concerned that he'd come out and say we were unlucky,or should have won it bar a couple of lapses.
"It was disappointing and I’m absolutely gutted with that," said Postecoglou.
"It's an unacceptable second half - we were nowhere near where we should be. Maybe we got carried away with how we were going.
It’s a terrible loss for us, as bad as it gets, and there’s only one way to fix it and that’s my responsibility.
"We lost all our duels, we weren’t competitive and if you're not competitive, irrespective of what you do tactically, it is not going to work."

The only way we will a cup is if we get the mother of all cushy draws .Would give Ange the season and then see ,hope I am well wrong but don't things will end well .
you are on one. The guy has more personality than any manager we’ve had since Venables. This manager has won at every level he’s been at and is only just over a year in at this level. Arteta and Klopp had won fuck all at this point.+ 6 GD
Nuno was like -5 GD and had 3 undeserved 1-0 wins.
Not rocket science.
