Oh come on, a lot of the toxicity on this issue has come from you attacking Jose with absurd statements. I don't want to have to wheel out those quotes again.

No did someone say he was?
But if they have an attack that relies on Diaz scoring are we supposed to ignore it just because he isn't a centre forward?
Isn't it more important to look at how many goals their attack scores rather than who it is that actually scores the goals? I don't think you get more points based on whether your centre forward scores or a MF or defender.
My arguments come from the facts of the results he has got and the style of football he plays. Feel free to wheel those out all you want.
The toxicity comes from one side only the Jose Fanboi's.
Ok if we are stretching out to midfield then it’s not that much different. If anything we are more impressive in certain areas, they have more depth no question with the likes of Bernardo on the bench.
For me the difference is that City are well coached in attack and we look poorly coached in attack. I fully accept our defensive weaknesses but the reason I am Jose out is that with such an attacking line up he hasn’t got anywhere near the best out of them.
our best in theory:
PEH Ndombele
Bale Lo Celso Son
Kane
Man City best in theory:
Guedogan De Bruyne Foden
Mahrez Jesus Sterling

Put it this way working on your logic,
Winks, Sissoko, Ndombele , PEH ,Lamela, Lo Celso and Bergwijn are attackers, if that is the case you are right City have better attackers than us
Most people would argue they are not attackers
Well I'm a Spurs fan, and I think there are a tiny number of ppl here who support Jose more than Spurs.
If the toxicity is only coming from one side, then why did this post get 11 agrees, 2 laughs, and 1 disagree (from yourself)? :
#1,964
He may have gone over the top but don’t deny the Jose fan boys on the site. A bunch of people all turning up 2020 praising Jose to death and attacking the club, players and former manager. One of them even admitted to not being a Spurs fan.
If someone is a Spurs fan and like Jose fine but pretending to be a Spurs fan following a manager a round is stupid. I put those guys on ignore as it was making the thread idiotic.
My logic is that the point of an attack is to score goals, if one team does it by using their midfield as the basis of it and another does it by using their front 3 all that really matters is which one is more effective.
In this case it is clear that the City attack is much more effective than ours. I am not sure why it matters if they use players like KDB, Bernardo Silva, Foden etc. to create the attack instead of using a traditional striker. When talking about who's attack is better then the results should matter more than who specifically is doing what. At the end of the day for me I want the attack that creates the most goals, how we get there matters less than how effect it is.
If you want to limit it to who has the best front 3 or who has the best striker, sure we can do that but that is a different discussion than who has the best attack.
How many? List these people.
Firstly, if they were Jose fanboys they'd have only joined the forum after Nov 2019, because before that point there was no indication he would take over.
I think there's barely any.
Likes and agrees are a pretty terrible way to judge things overall. I can't say why that post got the reactions it did because I am not able to speak for all those people.
I do know it has zero relevance to the toxicity or what we are talking about here.
You said the toxicity and division is caused by Jose fanbois. So far I'm only aware of one guy posting here who isn't a Spurs fan, and beyond that you haven't been able to cite anyone.
Meanwhile my post pointing out you've gone of the rails on this issue got 11 agrees, and the only disagree was from you. People may be divided on whether Jose is the right man for the job, but they don't seem to be divided on whether your narrow minded agenda is toxic.
Off the top of my head I will likely miss some:
El magnifique, wonmina, halothegod, tristan, thespecialone (something like that)
You also have a group of posters that think you have to back the manager no matter what and anyone that questions Jose is not a "real supporter" which leads to the toxicity.
Edit:
Looks like Tomo got some more I forgot, it is hard to keep track of all of them.
6. Ciro, thfc nw, el magnifico, dr Spurs, halogotha, the special ones mai.
El magnifico addmitted to not be a Spurs fan and one other as well. All started posting after Nov 2019 and most spend their time in the Jose thread defending him, it’s beyond obvious and became annoying.
I just did cite posters.
Again that post doesn't prove a thing, other than there are 11 idiots on this site with terrible judgement.
Right on the one hand you're bemoaning others for creating toxicity, and on the other you're calling 11 people 'idiots with terrible judgment' just because they agreed with me that your posts about Jose are absurd and off the rails.
Way to prove my point.
It doesn't prove your point at all.
You cannot possibly know that
Rich clubs tend to do better, not every year but the majority of the time
The eleven are?
The 11 people that agreed with To Dare is to Do.
Fair play!
