Statistically any player scores less than the chances they're involved in...tactics are irrelevant to that...look at sissoko in the penalty area against Fulham: no way did tactics suggest he would end up there but tactics change the game and Jose didn't do anything when we could all see how it was gonna end.Reguilon missed due to formation, cool
From what I see on this forum, if Jose hooks someone, he gets sh*t on. If he doesn’t hook someone, he gets sh*t on. Subs early, he’s unreasonable towards that player and not giving the player enough time on the pitch. Subs too late, it’s his fault, he should have subbed the player sooner.
I think we are truly a few players away from a good challenging team.
Our CB options are still really poor for a top challenging side. Midfield wise, we have Sissoko, Winks, PEH to choose from.
Creative midfielder, we have Tanguy that is just now getting to fitness to last the entire game. His contributions are excellent but still not consistent throughout the 90 mins.
Our main front two have been less clinical compared to earlier in the season. Our others have been contributing but not at the level we need them to when it comes to scoring. We’ve had enough chances to put games away.

Tactics made us sit back against a shite team when the tide had turned...Jose is apparently great so could have changed things to win the game but was content with sitting back...and it cost us...again!
No, it’s not good enough. But it shows we are getting close.Still going on about this fcuking match.
Top teams draw games against lesser opponents. Nothing new there and will never change.
But to be ahead 5 times against teams outside the top 6 this season and relinquish that lead is a shocker and really good teams do not do it.
And that falls to the manager because clearly 2 up and with our way of playing at present (West Ham game aside) should be enough.
The stats speak for themselves.
Good but not good enough.
I’ll give you something to consider:Yep agree really.
No one says Mourinho is at fault for players missing chances but he is at fault for not setting us up, style wise or in terms of personnel for not setting us up in a fashion that puts us on the front foot.
I’ll give you something to consider:
Against City we were on the back foot, yet against Liverpool we were on the front foot.
Which game was you most satisfied with and which one was more successful?
Let’s be careful here. Because missing sitters against Liverpool doesn’t suddenly become a valid excuse just because people preferred our tactics......or because it’s easier to slag off Bergwijn than Son
Point being, you don’t determine the success of a tactic on whether the forwards fuck up at the crucial moment.
You determine it by whether we actually allowed the forwards to get into numerous clear cut chances.
And against Fulham, we did, just like we did against Liverpool.
Have I stopped you answering?Why not allow me to answer your question?
Do you want me to or do you want to treat me in the same manner as some others?
First half we definitely had chances, another match and we could have been 2 or 3 or even 4 up at half time. We just didn't put hem away.
Second half different story
Very very valid points that no one can deny even if I really really want to go against you out of habit.I’ll give you something to consider:

How convenient we’ve all forgotten yet another Reguilon fluff too.
“Tactics made him miss the goal from there”
Reguilon also had a free opportunity early in the game that he hit over the bar. The chances were there.
My bigger issue is that most of those come before the 60 minute mark. We cleary slow down around then and the opposition has been able to pick one off of us. I think Jose should be looking for more offensive subs a bit earlier even with us ahead.
You’re in a twighlight zone today, no idea what your on aboutYou answered your own question.

Poch teams never consistently conceded possession, territory and momentum to every side in the league eitherPoch barely ever make a sub before fucking 60 minutes. Some of you lot are a fucking laugh.
