The question is, what did they do that we didn't (that was "cunty/nasty"). The only thing I've identified by way of example was Mosses diving over Son to win a pen. But when Mosses did the exact same thing vs Woolwich he didn't win a pen, picked up a 2nd yellow and was sent off, so not really the example that demonstrates this well, don't you think?
It's obvious, they were more ruthless and done what needed to be done and we didn't.
Which was specifically what?
Scoring more goals than we did and closing out the game.
That’s the biggest load of bollox I have ever read on here, it’s not about being owned by an oil nation and turning into a plastic club, the money is there to spend, Ndombele proved this, I’m far from a Levy apologist but is it really his fault that pochs number 1 target has had a shit season? Levy done his job in the summer getting in Sessengon, GLC and Ndombele all targets of poch and We broke our transfer record getting them in , maybe if we start scouting better players and spending our money more wisely we would be in a better situation, but if our club turned into a play thing for an oil sheik then to me that’s the day our club dies!
Arnt we doing well !
And the only team in the bottom sector that we have played, we only got a draw. Somehow I think that penalty decision not given may cost us Europe
Follow the thread mate: It's about being more "cunty" more "nasty".
So, what specifically did they do to make them more "cunty" more "nasty"?
This is about the 10th time I've asked this and not a single example yet.
Jose called for them to be clever/smart cunts; not to be more nasty.
He also said we were too nice.
‘Bastards in the sense you are there to win matches.’
You have to be a complete moron to think he means this be ‘ nasty’ or dirty.
You have to be a complete moron to think he means this be ‘ nasty’ or dirty.
I told you, arrogance and ruthlessness. It's more holistic than just one or two examples.
Which means what? ....Need more legbreakers? .....Hardly.
You seem to be refusing to accept we can make mental adjustments to help us get over the proverbial line. (I've already had the 'big game' debate with you so I shan't dredge up old ground.)
Looks what thread we're in.... I get it now.
Juve at Wembley. Case closed.
So Matic with a hopeful 40yrd punt at goal is an example of being ruthless?
I'm not dismissing mentality, attitude. I'm an advocate of them, you will not find a bigger supporter of it than me. I believe a team can perform better than the sum of their parts, a large part of that will be driven to the mentality of the team rather than the activity in the transfer market.
I'm dismissing the notion that we are "too nice", "not cunty" enough. Upon me dismissing this people have refuted this and then babbled on about a load of a) unrelated crap and b) nothing specific no examples across a host of games. All I've asked is for examples of the other teams showing us that they are more cunty or nastier than us. So did they foul more? Did they get more yellows than us? Was their fouling more cynical, if so where, how and by whom?
Did you miss the penalty?
Your anti-Jose bias is as subtle as a brick.
Remember what he said after we lost to Utd? Is this basically the same message?

‘I saw a sad dressing room, a sad bus and a sad plane,’ he said. ‘And that’s not what I like after a defeat. You cannot be sad. You have to be more than that. You have to be raging or angry. Being sad will not resolve your problems.'
‘They need to say, “I don’t accept that defeat, it is not something that belongs to my culture”. Sad is grief. When you lose somebody you have to be sad. You have to be crying. There is no solution. There is no way of changing that. You lose a football match and there is always the next one.
‘Let’s go. Keep learning and do not accept the defeat is something empty.
‘That’s the way you have to do it,’ he said. ‘Not to accept things in a passive way. They are fantastic players. I am here to help them with the rest. That’s my job.’
Mourinho challenges Spurs team to respond with anger against Burnley
Having won their first three since the new boss replaced Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs were beaten 2-1 by Manchester United on Mourinho's first return to Old Trafford on Wednesday.
‘I saw a sad dressing room, a sad bus and a sad plane,’ he said. ‘And that’s not what I like after a defeat. You cannot be sad. You have to be more than that. You have to be raging or angry. Being sad will not resolve your problems.'

If you took the time to go through my recent posts then I would have thought it absolutely obvious who I'm refuting. YES, I'm refuting Jose's comments of us being too nice and not cunty enough as absolute bolloocks (there I've saved you the time of going back over the last couple of pages).
I've also posted examples showing that we are one of the nastiest sides in the League and have been for years. So, does he want us to be even more nasty, even more cunty? If so why? Teams that had beaten us did do without being nastier or more cunty.
So I'm calling him out for talking bollocks. So, either deal with it or post something to counter it. Give evidence to back it up. Which after multiple times of asking no has yet to post a fucking single thing, that include you, as saying "Juve at Wembley" means fuck all.
