The really frustrating thing is that we're all living for football in this wretched lockdown, and Mourinho is serving up really negative, unambitious, joyless football that has us seriously depressed. I've said it before, but we're a team to watch on teletext, and I may have to revert to looking at the result before deciding whether to watch the highlights on MOTD.

It's unbelievably irritating, Vinicius sitting on the bench to hold the ball up and he doesn't even bring him on, it's fucking ridiculous.

But we shouldn't have to hold the ball up against fucking Fulham. take the game to them, people say we had chances, but we still didn't play well.

I’ve clapped my last happy until we pay football again, and even if by then we’ve lost all our current best players and it’s back to the drawing board, fine. Until then I only watch out of duty and the lack of anything better to do.

This would only be worth it if we win the league. We aren’t. So would I prefer to finish 2-6th playing like this, or 14th playing actual football? Latter wins every fucking time. Give me Harry Redknapp back please.

Yeah, it’s fucking grim. I like Jose but I’ve completely had it with him now.

Best case scenario for me would be for us to finish mid table but fluke the Europa. That way we can sack him but the whole thing hasn’t been a complete waste of everyone’s time, which is what it feels like right now.

On a normal day we put 3 away in that first half and it's game over.
On another day, Fulham score one of those multiple counter attacks and we lose the game

There’s no point in talking hypotheticals when we’ve seen this exact game play out 5,6 times this season. Sit back on a 1-0 lead and eventually a teams gunna have enough chances to start.
It’s not good enough and it’s extremely worrying that one of the most well paid managers in world football decides to keep doing this week in, week out

This is soul destroying, he is wasting a high quality squad with utterly baffling, out dated anti football nonsense. Please levy - pull the trigger now!

I might feel differently tomorrow. But seeing another lead lost, points dropped at home I am slowly losing it myself. The only thing saving me just now are the cup runs. We are in a final, winnable ties in FA and Europa. Maybe a run of league wins might swing it again as let's be honest it's the tightest league for many a year.

As of this very moment, however, I'm not sure how much longer I can stand us dropping points when we should be out of sight. That's partly players and partly manager. I could see the reason for the counter against certain teams (and let's be fair it worked v City, Arsenal, United, Southampton and Leeds). We just don't seem able to put away the rest when it matters.

I'm afraid he not doing a good enough job imo.

And he's losing these players bit by bit.

Its Utd all over again.

He's not showing me he's adapted. Not at all.

If we don't get CL will he sack him?

If we start playing better, winning most of the games we should be winning but miss out by a whisker and also wins cup then he’ll have a good cause to stay.

If the second half of the season mirrors the first, I strongly believe Levy will sack him at the end of it. Carabao cup isn’t enough to save him.

Jose, should have, would have, could have... he hasn't changed, he wont change, there is no desire to finish a game.

EDIT. Blaming the fucking fixtures.. he is a joke.

Yeah that was an example seeing as he wants us to sit on a lead which is his tactics I thought Vinicius would have been a perfect sub, regardless you're right we ought to be on the front foot against these teams but I don't expect us to be under Jose.

If we win against Man City in the Cup Final all of this will be forgotten. That’s the trade off we’re making so time to buckle down.

How much is Levy paying Jose? Second only to Pep I think. There is so much better out there for less. If we need to cut costs due to covid, Jose ain't living up to the salary.

Levy isn't going to sack the man who brings him his first piece of silverware in a million years no matter where we finish in the league.

He’s here for a while yet. Unless we finish bottom half or something I doubt Levy will even start to think about a change until next season.
