Wasn't there worrying signs in pre season? I know it was friendlies but some journalists were saying how bad and uncharacteristic players were. One even said victor Moses was head and shoulders above everyone else in pre season.
I don't see how the whole incident with the physio couldn't upset some players. There must be some who think she was very harshly treated and not happy with how that whole saga played out.
Just watched Jose interview. Very very defensive from Jose. Was very surprised he talked about the possibility of the sack when the interviewer never even brought it up.
He clearly feels his under pressure. I thought his comments about sacking him sending a message interesting. Managers before Jose could argue they were unfairly sacked.
