We have the 5th or 6th best side in the league, without injuries. He has us in 5th, with injuries.
Last year under Jose we had a team who genuinely didn't care. This team does. We had a team that didn't work remotely hard. This team does.
He has bedded in young players brilliantly. Williams and Greenwood have proven their worth and rightfully have been given a huge amount of minutes in the first team. Garner was given a chance, not quite ready. Chong was given opportunities, not good enough, on the way out. Tuanzebe was on course to displace Lindelof with fantastic performances before his injury.
We had an unfit and not arsed Lukaku, now we have a generational talent in Greenwood being brought through perfectly.
We had an unfit Shaw, he has brought through Williams and we're much better for it.
He has gotten significantly improved performances out of Fred. He changed McTominay's role and made him a much better performer as a result. McTominay displaced Matic who looked to have no legs, and after being forced to bring Matic back in, Matic looks fairly rejuvenated.
He brought in a top right back and got rid of Young, I think people forget how utterly miserable we were with that situation just over a year ago. How can people not see the rebuild in front of their eyes?
He can't break the low block down with a midfield of Fred, Matic and Pereira. Of course he fecking can't. I'll become a much harsher critic when he gets a creative midfielder in.
He might not be the man for the job, but there's absolutely a chance that he could be. We'll probably never know, because he'll be the fall guy before long for the parasites above him.
Again injuries as excuses. All teams have injuries, Chelsea who are above us had more key players missing games and their entire backline missing games, whilst Rudiger was sidelined for most of the games.
Tuanzebe has played the grand total of 180 mins so far into the season yet he was going to displace Lindelof? Garner played 8 minutes in PL. Chong was clear from preseason he isn't quality, yet gave him more chances than Gomes, who on the other hand looked far better. Greenwood yesterday on the bench at the expense of Pereira, who is his favorite, despite being our worst player in most of the games.
The unfit and not arsed Lukaku was our best scorer during his good run and who landed him the job, he discarded him without a replacement.
Shaw isn't much better than he was last year.
Fred last night was back to his old self, yet you are jumping on the gun after couple of good games. McT was introduced by Jose and looked good under him too, he's developing in the way young player is expected to develop.
The top right back that he brought cost ton of money and is questionable going forward which is one of the main weapons to undo teams like Burnley.
He gave contract to Pereira who is shite, yet according to him "improving". The same Fred that you praised 2 sentences above now you lambast him ?
He also spent 80m pounds on Maguire and didn't bring CM and CF in.
We are in a much worse state than we were before Jose left and someone has to fix his mess first before we see an improvement.
