Pochettino got burned out dealing with Levy.
What fucking tools does he need to actually - not beat, naaah - to compete with a fucking shit Chelsea side made of no names like James, Alonso, Barkley, Mount etc?Hasn’t got the tools but not using what he has well enough
“Doesn’t have the tools”
What tools does Lampard have ffs? He inherited a shit side and has played some academy players, that’s all. Barkley, Mount, James, Azpilicueta, Alonso, Rudiger just to name a few. Fucking no names. Yet they outclassed us twice. Fucking pathetic.
There’s a paradox here:Made a mess out of the chavs away, just like the majority of his players, not good enough.
So what did he do wrong? A manager can only do so much no?He had the best team in a generation and failed.
Mostly inherited those players too.
We all saw the “miracles” he produced after he ruined the players didn’t we
A question to the frothing lynch mob who wanted Pocchetino sacked.
We've now suffered the humiliation of a Frank Lampard double in his first season of PL management.
Is this because he's a better manager than Jose?
Or is it because he doesn't have the tools to beat Lampards shower.
Gotta be one or the other.
If it's the former, will you all hold your hands up and admit you made complete fools of yourselves.
If it's the latter, maybe you'll be happy to finally admit Poch was magic and worked fucking miracles while being hamstrung by Levy
No offense, but do you want him to come out and say the brutal truth, "that was shit, we didn't sign a striker, our team is shit, pathetic performance""Proud of the players, proud of the effort..."
Fuck Sake.
6 of those 18 Jose has donated to themEven after today. Mourinho has amassed 26 points from 15 league games as against 18 points from 15 league games that Fat Frank has amassed over that period.
Chavs are fairly shit as are we.
He does need time but if you don’t go after a DM then you should be playing the one you have.That’s a fair point to be honest.
The sum is less than the whole of the parts, but I need to add I’m not in the Mourinho out camp.
He needs time yet.
So why didn't Jose sign a DM instead of Bergwjin?He does need time but if you don’t go after a DM then you should be playing the one you have.
It’s costing us.
People have even stopped arguing against me on that now, it’s just at that stage where no one wants to admit Dier should have been given a run of games and integrated by now.
That’s all on Jose. We are exposed every game.....for the simple reason we don’t have defensive midfielder on the pitch.
Put five defenders on.....didn’t help did it
Like Jose, he didn’t didn’t play the right teams and keeps changing things.So what did he do wrong? A manager can only do so much no?

And if Winks plays as a goalkeeper does that make him a goalkeeper?What are you on about? Winks is playing as DM.
A striker?What fucking tools does he need to actually - not beat, naaah - to compete with a fucking shit Chelsea side made of no names like James, Alonso, Barkley, Mount etc?
And if Winks plays as a goalkeeper does that make him a goalkeeper?
I don't think anyone knows what position Winks playWinks has always been a DM.
No he hasn’t, he used to be a player who brought the ball out and got the odd goal.Winks has always been a DM.
