Dunno - playing with the low block came as a reaction to losing a 3 goal lead against the Spam - perhaps we’ll get a further reaction to playing too passively?

Maybe he could have already changed that when we played shite teams.
Taking off Ndombele was the most amateurish bits of management I've seen in some time.
He needed to drop back into midfield so we could garner control, not be subbed off for a guy that can't run against one of the best running sides in the league.
Immediately punished for it as well.

Ndombele wasn't good today but the issue was in who replaced him more than anything else imo.
All the same excuses, spin and BS every time. It was tiresome the first time we heard him try to explain this BS, its just as tiresome now.
We would have been relegated had Poch stayed.
Many of the team who got Poch the sack are still here and still poor.
Aurier,Sissoko Winks Ndombele and Lo Celso were all poor under Poch and all played a part today
And now we play like a Burnely side with Kane and Son upfront. Maybe shoud have hired Big Sam just to avoid relegation and then find a better manager. But Big Sam wouldn't be so nice in that Amazon show.
I can tell you which one would be cheaper.
Ultimately when you play this sort of football and pin everything on results you open yourself up to huge criticism when you lose.
Defeats also feel slightly more soul destroying when you play passively and without intent.
This forum is full of “told you so” knobs so I’ll try to refrain from that. All I’ll say is that he’s been good in the big games, but the tactics don’t work outside of that. We have to impose ourselves on opponents more than we do and can’t rely on counter-attacks and opposition errors for all of our goals.
An an attacking entity we look entirely predictable.
Long season to go but really hope Jose can resist his dogmatic tendencies and alter his approach in those games. We have the talent.

Quite certain we've won the "been top of the table for 3 weeks" award. So indeed improvements.
Just an FYI, Levy isn't in charge of this.
That’s a fair comment. Lo Celso had something like miserable like 1 goal and 1 assist in the entire league campaign last season. We were front runners to sign Bruno Fernandes in the summer of last year but went for these two flops instead. Along with Jack Clarke and Ryan Sessegnon.
He never has a plan b. It's the antithesis to poch where his team's attack and have no plan b mourinho is sit back and hope for a counter. Now teams have sussed out his tactics he doesn't have a backup plan. I honestly don't know if I can watch this drab football all season.
Me neither. Im out. I look forward to football on a weekend. I want to see goals and flair.
We wouldnt have been relegated but the reason we were so shit start of last season was Veronghen had gone performance wise, Danny Rose was stinking up the place, Eriksen didnt want to be here, Lo Celso was injured, Ndombele was unfit and most importantly the manager had lost interest after the champions league final and 3 years of piss weak backing. None of those are problems now. We have a deeper squad and no real excuses.
A third of the season gone and Jose is looking up at Ole gunnar solskjaer in the table!
Let that fucking sink in, guys.
The damage was done 2 years ago
