You couldn't wait to post that.
Indeed I am a bit of a cnut although it’s the first time I’ve done that and it’s not the first time I was ridiculed pre match.
It seems people automatically get positive if a lineup includes one or two players - Namely Martial and if it seems “attacking”.
The City game, Spurs away and this. The optimism is so high and any valid concerns about the midfield are ridiculed. Which is the only reason I’ll then come back with my own snipe.
Our performances away from home of late have been shocking. Everton the main exception and that was a midfield three. Just leaves me dumbfounded that time and again he persists with a team that is showing no cohesion or progression. The Spurs game was enough to disqualify that XI from being used again this season.
I’m still a huge Mourinho fan. I love his personality and think he’s perfect for the club but he’s either being stubborn or stupid with these blatant mistakes. There also seems to be some recent disconnect with Pogba, which is concerning to say the least. He’s still our most valuable asset and a player we need to get the best out of.
I think a lot of our players are overrated on here and the idea that our squad is close to City’s is laughable. BUT I think of late it’s better than what we’ve been showing. Mourinho’s had a very poor few weeks.
