Again, I can see the point of view, but it's then down to the players to make the difference on the pitch. Not one player in the opening twenty of the second half stood up before or after them scoring. That can't all be down to the manager, because that exact sentiment was also being trotted out with the previous manager. It's becoming a recurring theme with these players.
Like I said, I can see your point of view and I agree with it, but we're almost back to that period under Sherwood where it seems the players are almost predetermining whether or not they have the chops for all that silverware they keep going on about.
Yes agree mate, the players are responsible for that yesterday, Mourinho as well.
Second half was a shambles. Let's hope we don't see anything like that again.
I think the reaction on the site is to do with the context...ie what we saw last season and this being the first game of a new season and its more of the same, second half even worse.
Let's just hope we can kick on quickly and forget that yesterday.
