Earlier this season, it felt like we had an exceptional squad....
Lloris, Alderweireld, Regulion (then, not now!) Ndombele, Lo Celso, Dele, Bale, Son, Kane are all top drawer players.... that's NINE players!
Sanchez and Rodon are.... were promising prospects who just needed proper integration into a smooth, functioning defensive unit to learn, and to thrive.
Sanchez in particular has looked a shadow of the player we bought with such promise, and it's BECAUSE he (and the defence in heneral) have had to shoulder so much additional defensive responsibility Jose's tactics thrust upon them, BECAUSE he refuses to attack a lead, and just sit on it....
Mourinho not only hasn't got the best out of the riches he has at his disposal, he's continually undermined it by stubbornly playing the likes of Aurier, Sissoko, Dier when it merely weakens our ability as a team.
If that's what a 'Special Coach' looks like, then I'm done!
