The thing that really winds me up is his thought process going into games like today.

He knows he is going to Anfield, a place where we never win, a place where we are playing against the best team in the league, a place where they are going to be super motivated today because of the title implications. He also knows we have one eye on Thursday and wants to rotate, so he chooses a team with multiple weaker selections.

So with this knowledge, he continues to have us play his usual press all over the pitch tactic, playing it short out the back with the goalkeeper and defenders under pressure, playing a high line etc.

Surely, SURELY, he isn't dumb enough to think that we would actually go and get a result doing that? Is he deluded to that level? Or is he actually preferring to go down with his bullshit ship rather than play a more defensive/pragmatic way?

Anybody that adverse to changing his tactics isn't worthy of the job. There's no way in hell anybody with any ounce of football knowledge goes to Anfield today, under these circumstances, and plays as open as we did. It's beyond foolish, its negligence.

It's a fuck you to the entire squad, the coaching team, the fans, to everyone.
He doesn’t actually know how to change it. That’s the problem. And the players know it.

Once we get everyone fit he’ll start cooking.
I assume you mean Meth?
 
I am truly amazed that any of you got annoyed watching that. Away at Anfield, with Poch's best team at the height of it's powers, we never won at Anfield. we've won their 4 times in like 120 years. Today they were playing in front of their home crowd to become champions. Our only goal was to avoid any injuries before Thursday. West Ham away will be harder as they''re shit but they'll still beat us as we'll be focused on the following Thursday. Once we mathematically were safe we were always going to lose every game.

It's a culmination of the season, not just the result in isolation.

If we're fighting for top 4, the reaction would nowhere be the same.
 

Mourinho, one of the most decorated managers in Europe, sacked 17th April, a week before the League cup final. 7th in the league.

Fast forward a few years and we're sat 16th in the league, five days before a Europa league semi with this complete fucking donkey in charge essentially guaranteed to see out the rest of the season despite being the worst manager we've had in living memory.

Levy is a cunt.

(edit: Mourinho deserved the sack. His football was diabolical. But overwhelmingly more affective than what we're currently seeing at the club)
Levy sacked Mourinho and Mason lost the final. There's no chance Levy will take the same action this time.

The time to sack Ange was November. Or January. After that he was always staying while we were in the EL.

In my dreams though we sack Ange, bring Redknapp in as a 3 week caretaker and he gets a much deserved trophy and parade.
