I wonder if they wanted to get a taxi for Mourinho .........?? :(

I'll bet there a good number on rag cafe calling for it :lol: :lol:


Just had a brief look on there and there are a load of unhappy bunnies all bewailing their disbelief at what they're witnessing.

One nice comment was "fecking neanderthal football", which seems about right.

I’ve suffered watching them a lot more than is healthy this year and I’ve formulated a theory about them.
Despite the fact that they have started so well (it’s all relative),
they really aren’t that good.

There that’s it.
Remember where you heard it first.

I've only suffered watching them once this season, which was tonight on MOTD, and I think they were shite.

They are not a bad side but clearly not a top side. Moaninho says he won't blame anyone but they were not at it today and he doesn't know why! First of all he whipped off Martial and Mata so there might be a clue who had the finger pointed at them but is it just possible that the way he sets the team out to not lose had something to do with the attitude?

3 games in a week and in each one ,away from home granted, he doesn't pick his best attacking line up. They played crap in all 3! And for a team who think they are great to resort to lumping the ball forward to every big guy they could get up top is a joke.

Why change a winning formula.
They played like that all last year and managed to get into the UEFA Champion’s league.

When Mourinho peaked, football was becoming efficient and powerful (he played a big part in that, no doubt).

Makelele not only lead the charge, but created a whole new role in his name.

Mourinho is the makelele of managers.

And we've moved past that now.

Thanks in advance.

Good thoughts OD and very discerning.

Last week on 5Live, they were playing a recording of an interview with him and he was talking about his injured players and the essential qualities they brought to the side.

These qualities were power, fitness, strength and athleticism.......nothing about skill, style, flair and excitement.

In the pursuit of pure football, Mourinho is fast becoming a dinosaur.

Me, too. On the basis that I hate Arsenal more than I hate Everton. But they are not far behind.

Wee Davey Moyes might be hoping they don't hold out, if the media stories are true.

Arsenal are no threat.
Two of their best players will be gone in January.

It goes against the grain, but I'm hoping the Dippers win later on today. :oops:

I disagree. Considering who they are and what they have available I think they're pretty awful.

Smalling up front because they have no fellani to launch the ball to is pathetic for a so called top club. Hope that teams continue to exploit thier obvious flaws.

Aresnal have been knocking on the door all game and now have their equaliser. Good finish from Monreal. They will go on to win this 3-1. Everton just can't get hold of the football

Only if there are multiple red cards and a post match dust up in the tunnel resulting in both sides being docked points with Kane and Countinho who happened to be the instigators getting further 10 game bans

Blimey Everton are bad. Can't string three passes together.
I'd love that Everton game back.

Missing bogbrush has had just as much an impact as missing Pogba for them. And that says everything you need to know about the rags at the moment. Keep in mind I don't rate Pogba either.
