As much as I'm torn about the whole Jose thing, I can't say I'm not a lot more confident about a result on Saturday now.

I think you've never been an athlete.I think the words 22 year old and fatigue should never be seen in the same sentence.
What about Kane? Skipp, KWP and Onomah have all played a decent amount of football for Poch as well.Huge myth about poch promoting youth tbh. Winks is the only one that has broke through. Mou gave rashford mctominay to mention 2 regular football. Frank has done it at chelsea because he had to. Every other club what manager just throws kids in
Like Joe Cole was at Chelsea under Mourinho.I can't see Moura getting too much time under Jose. His lack of defensive work is just not going to jive well.
I was referring more to how I don't seem to see lucas tracking back as much, but might just be me not noticing.Seems like an odd observation, Lucas actually presses very aggressively and continually for a winger/forward. If anything he has the most defensive input out of him, Kane and Son.

It's weird... I always thought 'Parking the bus' related to the DEFENSIVE side of the game... not the attacking bit!I don't understand why people think we will park the bus. Mourinho's Chelsea and Madrid teams scored 100+ goals a season.
He's not really a team player so he'll have to start lifting his head up more...I don't see Jose liking Moura at all to be honest.
Well, he might stick with him at RB like he did with Ivanovic, another CB turned RB...Mourinho is known for his interesting use of players. Many have commented on how much Foyth looks like a ready made DM, good passing, defensively sound, clever.
Wouldn’t be surprised against the likes of Man City to see him and Dier in a 4-2-3-1 combo.
I haven't read all the pages of this thread and I am not that clever in terms of tactics, but I got a very strong feeling that one of the key parts of his project with us is what he will do with Alli. I think he's got big ideas about him and this is the key moment for Alli's career. We'll see
Sanchez is an interesting one.Can see a massive chance for Dele and Dier here esp the former, Mourinho will utilise his strengths and improve his weaknesses hopefully and we will see the spark return in him-very high hopes this is great timing for Del boy.
In terms of formation/team selection I reckon the old guard will get their chance to return to form - Toby, Rose, Dier possibly Eriksen I expect to see regularly for the first while at least and see where they are at, reckon he will stick with Sanchez and teach him how to defend - he likes an athletic CB and hes certainly that.
Can defo see the deep lying midfielder role being Dier and having that ability to change to a back 3 during games will be a huge bonus I think Jose would love that tactical flexibility on the pitch without having to make a sub.
Gazza
Aurier Toby Dave Rose
Dier Ndombele
Eriksen/lo Celso Dele Son
Kane
Dele to get close to Harry again playing centrally.
It’s any European competition mate (so top6), just to clarify. I can’t see a world where we don’t end up having to buy him.CL mandatory.
