Asinine and patronising comment about a team that just made us look bang average across the majority of readily selectable players.
Makes you look like a fool.

Very true, but the wholesale team changes Mourinho made for the starting line-up smacked of arrogance. He underestimated the opposition and we paid a heavy price for it. Once Antwerp had gained confidence the 'horse had bolted' and no amount of substitutions was going to knock their confidence.
He thought he could beat Antwerp with a 'B' team. He was wrong. Hence I lay the blame squarely on him, not on his 2nd tier players. All they did was prove why they're not his first choice. God, they were bad.
We play Antwerp again on the 10th December. TIME FOR PAYBACK!
Enjoy it mate , your team played well yesterday and hopefully things are back to normal soon so we can get back to coming across the Chanel and drinking all your beer!
We have been scoring a shit load of goals, and playing some of the best football in the league.
One defeat and it's all doom and gloom again, why?! Easy to blame the manager isn't it?
One defeat in 10 games, and everyone loses their shit!
Instantly forget the good results we've had of late and blamed Jose for the bad, but not praised him the good.
Grow up.
One poor game and the knives are out.
Talk about sense of entitlement.
I think people need to not see each game as a judgement.

Congrats mate. It was a bitterly disappointing match from our point, but that did certainly come down to how Antwerp were able to play as a team. Well drilled. Happy for you - in a sense. Stick around here, if ya want... just for the cunt-offs, if anything. There will always be some going on somewhere here.
Seldom does an opponent fan get anything like a warm welcome in these parts.
This.
Just a bit disappointed that the likes of Winks, Davies, Dele, Bergwijn aren't up for these games. If they prove themselves, they surely get some minutes in the PL as well. But it was so poor from the four of them. Its not just these players of course.
And Antwerp did really well closing us down - the intensity from us just wasn't there.
I used brass staples when this happened to meIf have to find it and sew it back on first!!!
What do you think about Juklerød? Is he good enough for the PL? I think he looked really good, and our national coach Lagerbäck chose a player on the left that hadn't played a match for a year in our qualifier against Serbia. We really have some quality players like Ødegaard and Haaland, and up an coming youngsters like JP Hauge, Ajer, Berge and so on.
Intensity is a funny word. I see you excuse or omit Bale which is fine.
My view is players just need to play to their style but always seek to play well.
My disappointment with Alli is the lack of lung-busting runs/goal threat that epitomized him in his earlier time with us. And the bite. Just gone. Less about intensity and more about impact.
Same with all our players. Just do what you do but do it to your best. The whole team lacked in that regard, probably Moura apart in that regard.
I felt sorry for all who were hauled off at half-time because I thought it was too early but for me Lo Celso and Bale were the least effective. Vinicius looked busy so why drag him off and not have Son support him?
But one game and Antwep were more than decent and we will see one or two of them at least in the PL. A good side but one we will beat in the return game.......... I think..
I put Bergwijn at last, as he hasn't been here for too long so far. Excluded Bale and Lo Celso because I believe that both will show their worth in the coming months.
The other three have 580 games for us between them. Thats why I felt let down by them. They should be commanding the team. And these three, I think atleast, have been convincing nobody in the last few months.
Agree totally, never heard of some of the teams in it. The league is our priority and all the media think we're well in with a chance !!!!!!
I assume "intensity" encompasses that for most people/comments here anyway.......
Massively disappointed in this result, it was a poor show all round really.
No spark or ingenuity, we just kept running into a wall. We seem to lack any ideas when it comes to teams like this who put 10 men behind the ball to defend.
I think the subs were wrong too, I think Vinicìus and Lo Celso should have been kept on with Winks coming off.
There's still plenty of time to fix this though and hopefully we learn from it and thrash them in the return leg.

Wasnt exactly a B team was it... all those players have started this season and are expected to beat antwerp let alone not lose to them, if we cant rely on those players to perform, then how the fuck are we meant to stop kane and son from injured if they have to play every game this season to bail out the rest of the team.
That maybe, but its the truth though.
As Jose himself said in the post match presser last night, we are leagues above them and should be beating them comfortably, only way they can beat us is for us to not turn up, which is what happened on the night.
Most of the clubs in the Belgian league wouldn't cope in the Championship, sorry but that's just a fact.
They played well on the night and fair play to them, hope their fans and players enjoy it but lets get real.
