I watched some beautiful exciting football during Poch’s tenure and we were top of the league for 13 mins in January. Think we’ve been top these last 3 weekends.
But Jose’s football ain’t attractive, however , I will take it every day especially if we finally pick up a trophy 👍

Wow.
So you'd go through countless hours of utter dross, just to pick up a League Cup, or an FA Cup?
How fooking depressing. 😂
I think the issue we have at the moment is that at 2-0 up, José doesn't want to risk conceding.
At 0-0 or even 1-0, we look to break forward at the speed of light but at 2-0 the players hold their positions so we can't break at speed.
At the moment we then concede possession whereas out players need to learn how to keep the ball comfortably - even though we're not countering at pace.
Also, talking about a work in progress, Poch was sacked with us sitting on 14 points after 12 games.
José has us on 24 points with a game less played.
Quite remarkable in a year.

Indeed. This is what i mean about a work in progress.
The mentality has changed a lot. The defensive desire and organisation has changed massively.
We have the ability and quality to keep the ball better, but i think we are walking before we try to run. We've tried running in the past and come away from games without 3 points. The basics are getting ingrained right.

Not just the defensive desire has changed the whole mindset and desire to win everything we can, every single challenge. It's fantastic to see.
PEH celebrated a tackle again yesterday

I was seriously underwhelmed by PEH in our first game vs Everton, but since then he has proved himself to be EXACTLY what we wanted and needed.

Exactly this That's what I think is happening as well. Hope so anyway !!!!
Although if we're wrong and it does stay like this all the time, then as fans and supporters I think we just get behind it. Yes it's different, but if it's what wins us football matches then let's get into cheering tackles instead of shots and silky passes. Just needs a bit of adjustment that's all. If the players can do it then we should be able to. COYS.
