First of all - I'm glad Mourinho is gone, he was toxic and his brand of football was becoming increasingly terrible.
However since the dust has settled a bit following his sacking and the Ole honeymoon period and we're seeing some of our players revert to type it's looking like a lot of the things he was saying about the players and the club were on the money.
Jose's problem was he went about addressing these issues in completely the wrong way ie. aggressive, confrontational and most fatally of all - in public.
He also had (if rumours are to be believed) some quite concerning ideas about who to bring in, and failed to acknowledge some problems were of his own making eg. bad signings, bad tactics, morale.
Broadly however I think he was on the money about the mentality and attitude problems within our team and I hope Ole is planning to address these despite his public pronouncements around squad strength and praising the likes of Pogba and Martial who quite clearly need to get their shit together or be moved on.
