BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Mourinho written all over it. well done for taking part this season though . Did really well. That famous night against the other Oil nation at St Jawdee Park was brilliant. Did a great job in securing 5th spot for the PL. useless spunkbubbles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 6 hours ago, switters said: Some credit in bank, but that would dwindle quickly with a bad spell over the next month or so. Winning a cup could save him but I could see them lose to Chelsea next week in League cup with current injuries/form and then Sunderland away in FA cup is a banana skin of a draw. and then in the league, in-form Fulham at home this weekend is exactly the kind of game you don't want at this moment. Their Christmas fixtures aren't bad but their Jan is tough with Liverpool, City and us.. They do currently have a lot of injuries which will be affecting results. You can make the case that the injuries are made worse by their style of play but you’d probably want to wait until some of their players are back before making a proper judgement on the manager.

bobzy Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Didn't watch the game, but it seems like the had the best of it according to normal stats. Sacking Howe would be hilarious, though. Hopefully they go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utd - Europa League, League Cup, and 2nd place. Best season since Fergie left. Did go downhill afterwards though. Spurs - They sacked him before the cup final. Strange decision. He's very good in one off games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He downed tools as a professional, and showed why Fergie was happy to let him go. Still very much a transitional period after Moyes and Van Gaal. He was the wrong fit for Spurs, but to say he won nothing isn't fair when by rights he'd got them to a cup final and was denied the chance of winning it.

Was never sustainable was it He over achieved in his first season and I don't think anyone expected them to qualify out of that group or even do as well as they did. People seem very keen to put them down but common sense will tell you they are at least doing as well as expected this season. Nobody was predicting they would finish in the top four again this season. If I was alien face stavley I would be satisfied with how the project is going. CL money coming in to help offset more spending in January and next summer and so far their spending has looked very good. Tonali and Gordon proving to be great buys.
