lots of players who are simply not good enough, and who were previously back ups, are now first team regulars.

really i think the whole situation is that over the past 12 months we have not improved as a team, now you can make of that what you like, why is this, we all have our opinions

so nothing to do with the inability of the manager to motivate/coach this squad

A footballing brain can go a long way, too many of our players don`t have one. It is why we desperately need Dele and Bale fit and firing, at least they know what they are doing with the ball, unlike Lucas and Sissoko who just run down blind alleys or panic when they receive the ball.

To be fair Jose has had three windows to address the problems. by now you should be able to see his version of the team and that's the worry. Keep changing centre backs won't help.

Imo that caused the downfall of Poch, when we were flying it was a settled back 4, now its a miss mash every game.

As good as I think Son is, take out Kane and we’re in real trouble - the regression from UCL finalists to bang average mid table will have been spectacular.

The list of players except for Doherty are all Poch's signings. Says alot.

it is, but at least make city work for their goals. a nonsense pen that should have been saved. awful defending and a shot that should have been saved, and then a ridiculous long ball where our CB got bullied by the one of the smallest midfielders in the prem.

its just not good enough

We may not have improved as a team...yet but certain players like Kane, Son have stepped up. As has Ndombele, the welcomed additions of PEH and Reg.

Until a few games ago LOLlris was playing better as well.

I've said it before, it takes time to weed out the loser mentality in the squad. Time to judge will be at the of the season.

Funny how after watching Lamela in 2 or 3 games, I labelled him as a headess chicken runner and years from then, he has still not addressed this problem in his game?
The diff between quality and average is that quality always looks to improve. Kane had a problem with set-pieces? He worked on it. He had a problem with creating chances, he worked on it.

I agree with Ace. Get rid of Jose and let the new coach rebuild the squad.

every signing we make is a Levy signing, he has final say remember. you see the likes of Vinicius, Doherty, Bale, Rodon etc you'd think Jose didnt want them seeing how theyre being used/not used.

we went a summer without signing anyone with the prior manager and if you believe that he was happy with that you really are a prat.

if its a good DoF it isnt a problem but not sure theres a queue of options

comment by Spurtle (U1608)

posted on 15/2/21

The squad obviously needs a rebuild soon. That's pretty clear not just from the lack of quality in the players, but the lack of home grown options and the age of a lot of them, as well as our top players possibly having enough and moving on.

Whether Mourinho turns things around this season or not, he isn't a long term manager. I say we get Potter in at the end of the season and start a rebuild, keeping the newer players, getting rid of the headless chickens, and bringing through the promising English youngsters. Knock down the wall and start again.

We normally agree Spurtle but I’m just not seeing it with you’re Harry Potter fascination. I’d rather Lord Voldemort If I’m going to be honest. Mourinho goes, then it’s a list between Nagelsmann, Ten Hagen and Brendan for the job. Don’t get me started on Hassenhutl who has now lost 6 games in a row in the league. Can’t believe spurs fans want this guy.

Shit up Sandy we’re allowed to voice our opinions now, Jose is a waste of time and you’re a mess

posted on 15/2/21

Who ever we get in needs to be basically a manager who can work with, motivate and get the best out of the squad we have, because let's face it Levy ain't gonna invest a great deal, and Mourinho is just not that person
