Waiting 6 games before I begin to judge Jose on this season.
Everton showing the benefit of not being obsessed with muh-young-prospect and signing the finished articles in their peak at 29-or-so?He's had a pre-season to sort this out, yes it's been affected by covid but so has everyone else's? Everton looked well organised, structured and actually had a functioning midfield.
Thats all he's got, be nastier, buy 'charachters' in their mid to late 20's, moan more. We wont be watching an energtic, tactical side with him in charge. He is a man out of his time. Said before we've got late 80's/early 90's Clough not the mid to late 70's version.yeah... if the team had just cried to the ref about where the FK was taken, the game would have been won...
hope he doesn't believe what he is saying.
Can some please explain to me this advanced right back tactic with the left back staying deep and moving into a back 3. I have been following the game nearly 30 years and have never come across this. I don’t see how this benefits the team in anyone way apart from making it predictable and lopsided
This "too nice" stuff is just total bullshit. Our players are well known for going ballistic and injuring opponents when we are losing and making nasty tackles.When Jose tells these players they are too nice, this is exactly the reason. You can't allow a free kick to get moved up into a better position. Kids stuff, you stand on the ball to prevent it moving or being played early.
Not like he hasn’t had half a season before to “judge”.Waiting 6 games before I begin to judge Jose on this season.
Why mention bias? I made a call based on what I thought based on what I have seen. Nothing, not a single game I've seen has my opinion changed. It's for him to have us play in a way that changes my mind, he didn't even have to achieve this last year by winning a game, all he had to do was show green shoots of a modern progressive style of football (why this style? Because I see it as a)entertaining b) more likely to have us win). Now he's been here TEN MONTHS that holiday is over.It's not ok, it's down to Jose to get them pressing, if he can't then he's not doing a good job, pretty simple.
Unlike you mate, I am not tied to any bias, Jose is just a manager to me, if he doesn't bring success then he can be replaced.
However, I don't trust the man above him to hire a suitable replacement and even if he did, I trust him even less to back that replacement and make signings.
This isn't an excuse for Jose either, that's the reality, we will always be fucked as long as these owners are at the club.
I'm going to lay out my pentagram and candles on the floor and chant Reguilón for the rest of the evening. Night, all.I wonder how much of that is due to tactics and how much is due to the fact we have a LB that is useless going forward and only positive that he has is that he can play CB as well.
Because he hasn't worked well for us at all, it makes little sense from a theoretical perspective and limits what is already a limited team.

On our post-lockdown performance I judged him as doing very well, considering.Not like he hasn’t had half a season before to “judge”.
Irrelevant. They ain't going anywhere.How long do you wait before you begin to judge Levy / The owners?
It's very relevant. They keep appointing the managers you keep judging.Irrelevant. They ain't going anywhere.
Write a letter to Joe and Levy, maybe they'll listen tot you and leave.It's very relevant. They keep appointing the managers you keep judging.
And they decide how much backing those managers get
I don’t recall us playing well in any of those games post-lockdown, can you? A few good spells against Newcastle and that’s it. Awful against Sheff Utd, awful against Bournemouth and so on. When we won, we were still fucking shit. Sure, points wise it was a good return but the signs weren’t encouraging. Today it just confirmed it.On our post-lockdown performance I judged him as doing very well, considering.
New season, a few new additions, new vibe, new evaluation.
