"Lazy pressure. Lazy pressure up front, that is what I am saying, and that creates unbalanced situations for the rest of the team.
"I could also feel that some of my players are not fit. Matt [Doherty] was struggling to play the way he plays and the way you want him to play, as an example.
"We also had other players that were a little bit in trouble from a physical point of view. Two very strange pre-seasons for some and in other cases not even a pre-season, but congratulations to my dear friend Carlo and the Everton boys."
Wow, whatever "Mr Nice Guy" medication he is on it's definitely working !
Poch had enough credit in the bank to get those 14 games last season. Other than that 4 or 5 game bounce when Mourinho came its been bloody torture. Not sure i could watch another 13 games of this.If Mourinho fails, it's:
Levy's fault for hiring him
-or-
Levy's fault for not backing him
So either way Mourinho gets to skate it seems. I'm more in the "Levy never should have hired him" camp but let's give him the 14 league games Poch got last season - seems fair.
I'd take Sarri that curmudgeonly fuck. That would be something.So, that's decided then. Get rid.
So who are we getting? Eddie Howe? Sarri?
Denis Wise?
I thought Poch had enough credit to last until Xmas, so I may be overestimating Levy's patience. In any case, the window closes October 5th. Our business to close out the window will go a long way to determining Mourinho's fate one way or another, for one reason or another.Poch had enough credit in the bank to get those 14 games last season.

Glad someone is taking this seriously.I'm going to lay out my pentagram and candles on the floor and chant Reguilón for the rest of the evening. Night, all.
He fared pretty well last season. Short memoriesI think Levy appointed him to save the Amazon documentary.
I respect Jose and his success but he was the wrong choice for this club. He needs big players, big personalities, a big chequebook. We have average players, pussy mentalities and no money.
Levy simply fucked up. Again.
Sarri's Napoli teams were fantastic to watch - he's not in the same vein as most Italian managers.No!!! We need to focus on a young manager that has a new vision of what it takes in the modern game.
Jose is stuck in his ways, but Sarri might be even worse.

Plus he sucks on a unlit cigarette for 90 minutes.
Only difference in the post lockdown performances was Kane. That's it.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.
Sounds like Mourinho but more fun. So an upgrade.They were fun to watch, but he is a sour fucker that rubs clubs and players the wrong way. That is why he has had short, rough stays at clubs.
If Levy admitted this I would forgive him. It clearly was a great move for the show.I think Levy appointed him to save the Amazon documentary.
