Minimising risk has been Jose since the west ham game - he knows leaving the back 4 exposed (really its a slow back 2, with wing backs) is a no go with these chumps he has at his disposal. This has been a bad week, no need to completely throw the towel in on Jose-ball just yet: Missing 3 sitters vs liverpool, today was Aurier reverting to type with a moment of utter stupidity and an OG:yeshrug:. It's fine margins. I said straight away after HT that we aint scoring now that Ndombele was subbed, and even worse that GLC came off like 2 mins into the half . . .to be replaced by Moura who is useless :mjlol:. No ball carrying MF :hhh:
Jose had a managerial stinker today. Formation-wise, he just needs to drop sissoko for these sort of games (I do see the value of playing 2 DMs in games vs the "top 6" though) and line Ndombele to play deeper with PEH - he'll run the game from there. Put shot Bale in just behind Kane/Son, dudes legs are gone but he can still pass and has a shot on him so milk him for whatever he has left . . :francis:
I really thought mourinhos time at Real Madrid
would change him for the better
He initially started out by playing destroyers in midfield(ie Pepe ) and got destroyed by Barca. - I mean he didn’t want to play Benzema because he wanted a striker that can hold the ball.
-didn’t want to play modric, ozil, di maria, ronaldo, Marcelo, benzema at the same time.
His best team there was putting all his best attacking players in the lineup.
