If you just looked beyond results from Jan 15 onwards, you would have been able to see this coming a mile away. Apart from the first few months of last season, under Jose this time round, we have been lucky, very, very average and now the luck has run out we are looking like relegation candidates. Even i didn't expect us to be anywhere near this bad though!
This is all Jose's fault!
He has never been one to build teams and this is now showing up his limitations with this piss-poor, weak squad that he's built.
For short term gain, he came in and destroyed what was being built!
Got rid of the player who was scoring and creating goals for fun, just because he can't do the 100 metres in 11 seconds., ruined Oscar and run Hazard into the ground,
We now have a midfield that can't score or create and even tackle.
His transfers dealings have been nothing short of shambolic.
Blames refs for everything.
Picks fights with a highly qualified, popular team doctor.
Openly slags off certain players but gives the armband to the worst player this season.
This is a manager who has completely lost the plot.”
TipTop seemed pretty happy.
No, but it's still weird how you go away when we play well.
I agree that that our slump started last season. Not quite relegation candidates, but if this goes on for even a few matches longer I doubt we'll even make top 4. (especially with November approaching. That's when we usually turn to shit.)
Not all his fault, but he is bringing a lot of this on himself. Signing Falcao was beyond dumb, and that's all on him. Continuing to play Ivanovic as well.
I agree about selling Mata. I understand he doesn't fit Mourinho's style, but Mata was, and still is, far superior to Oscar and Willian. I don't doubt a manager as talented as Mourinho could have tweaked things to keep him around if he wanted to, but he wanted rid of Mata before he even came back. Was clearly done to prove a point and not for footballing reasons.
The failure to buy cover for Matic (tackling) and Fabregas (passing) is something he will have to take responsibility for, but I genuinely believe he wants to bring RLC through this season, and signing another player without being able to shift Mikel and/or Ramires would have hurt his chances. A mistake, sure. But I'm not sure anyone expected those 2 to be quite as bad as they have been so far.
Shambolic transfers....it's not good, I agree. We keep signing players he doesn't seem to be interested in, which isn't really his fault. Only Falcao.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Possibly. hope not.
