Is Jose still the right man for the job?

Few things are more certain than Chelski dropping points in the next few games, tbh. ISTR that after they @#%&!ted us 5-0, they didn't win again for weeks

Anyone would think those Chelsea players were desperate to get one over on the bloke that slagged them off last year.

It's the latest in a long illustrious Line of Stamford bridge horror shows.

It's unusual that you get managers with prolonged period of success for more than a decade....and with nearly 15 trophy filled years, maybe Jose's powers are finally starting to wane. The same methods he used 10 years ago are unlikely to have the same effect on the current generation...is Jose canny enough to adapt?

AVB currently without a club btw.

Just a thought.

It's been 9 league games you #@&%!. He has inherited the most spineless bunch of cowards ever to wear the shirt. Jose can be judged in 2-3 seasons, not now

AVB

I would like to come back to my point that if Fergie started a United now he would have similar troubles.

I reckon Jose will have sorted it next season. I've mentally written this one off.

Yep. Did £#%&! all last season and turned up once to stop Spurs winning the league, then celebrated like they'd won it, the small time @#%&!s.

Then this year, rolled over for Arsenal and the dippers and turn up v Mourinho (albeit with a quick boost from us).

Absolute frauds most of those players, and their fans can get to £#%&! too. All you could hear at 4-0 was United, and their manager had to get them going

People said that about Moyes.

I don't care about chelsea, but I would say they are more likely to win the league than arsenal or liverpool. mourinho made them look bad. if there is a fraud, it is him, not them.

Mourinho had plenty of time to prepare for this season.

Yet he's gone into it keeping Smelling and Blind as integral parts of the defence, plays Fellaini consistently in midfield, has lumbered us with a static, slow striker up front and his go to option off the bench is Mata.

That's hugely concerning.

Posted in another thread but apparently he's lost 13 of his last 27 matches (premier league). Took him 135 to lose the 13 before that.

#justsayin

He was never ' the right man for the job '. There's no such thing until they actually do it.

But what he does have is the Pedigree to do well and it's far too early to decide whether or not he will.

9 games.

Remember when people used to say 'don't look at the table until you're ten games in'.

Can't believe he didn't buy a whole new defence before he'd even had a chance to work with the 2nd best defence in the premier league that he inherited. Blatant negligence imho.

Come on, sparks. The way we played last season, terrified of losing possession to expose a shit defence, we had a nine-man defence, which was why we couldn't score goals.

True. But going out with a scattergun approach to buying players is exactly why we've got this £#%&!ing frankenstein of a squad to begin with.

I'd rather the coach buy a couple of top quality players, work with what he's got for a bit and then add top players where he knows he needs it - not waste £200m on duds in one go and then have to start plucking kids out the youth system out of desperation because they're not performing.

But then obviously I'm not joining in with this absolute £#%&!ing shit storm of hysteria because unlike most of the £#%&!ing utter fantasists on here, i was fully prepared for us to lose at Chelsea just like the last two £#%&!ing decades of us going there. but then i got called bedwetter and all other sorts of utter £#%&!ing bilge.

Drew there last year, and were about 10 seconds from winning..

it depends what you mean by "do well". obvs not play attractive and effective football, have high standards of integrity or be gracious. cheat and nullify. nullify and cheat. lad done well.

no one used to say that. some people might say "well, at least he's heading in the right direction". but.... not with this team.
