It's over ... Relegation form and it's not going to get any better ... Jose's answer is to continue to more or less run the same non performing players into the ground ... Except this time we see the return of Mikel and Rambo ... please ... He only has himself to blame this time ...

Mikel and Rambo being the answer to all our prayers doesn't inspire me ... so it might as well be a yes ...

No surprises so far. Jose continues to run, more or less the same 11 players into the ground, week in, week out. Except now we have Rambo & Mikel back ... Predictable, flat and Zzzzzz ...

Dear oh dear ... Totally ridiculous ... An upgrade is long, long overdue ... Unfortunately, he's a Jose type player nailed on to hold back the development of players with much more potential ... We should be running his Contract down ...

I think if Jose continues to more or less run the same 11 players into the ground, brings back Ivan and Ces, we will struggle ...

Boring, totally predictable line up once again ... Zzzzzzz ... baba only real change ... Lot's of youth on the bench but will they even come on ... History says no ... ?

At the end of the day Jose has more or less run the same 11 players into the ground, has no intention of integrating promising youth talent into the first Team, which Fergie was a master at or trying other player options when we have nothing to lose ... As soon as Ivan's injury free he's a nailed on starter, once again and the whole Premiership will be rubbing their hands with glee ... This time around Jose only has himself to blame ... Full stop.

Jose doesn't want to be sacked and we don't want him to go ... of course not ... But he seems hellbent on running the same 11 players into the ground and pressing the self destruct button ... It's not want anyone of us wants to see but this can't continue indefinitely ...

If we stick to the same 11 I think we will lose ... Maybe 2-1?

Luis was a great buy ... superb player ... occasional erratic game accepted. But Rambo has many more erratic games than good games and will always be a nailed on Jose type player/starter. How do we know Jose didn't approve of both the Cud and Sal purchases which clearly backfired ??? The last few signings were clearly panic buys due to our piss poor start to the season down to Jose ... Panic buys rarely work out. Although we will never know because Jose refuses to play them anyway ... Jose clearly didn't fancy KDB so that was that ... I accept that no one was impressed with Emen's appointment but I believe the current situation is more or less down to Jose driving the same 11 players into the ground and not integrating any other talent into the first Team ... which is clearly desperately needed now ...

Hopefully, a first 11 overhaul will bring some freshness and a result ... However, if we stick to the same predictable line up I think we will lose 2-1?

Jose needs every chance to turn things around ... He should be able to do it ... However, as soon as Ivan's back from injury he's straight back in the first team as an untouchable RB ... and the opposition teams will be rubbing their hands with glee, once again ... And there lies the problem ... Jose only has himself to blame with his take zero risks team selections which ain't working ...

Diil = obviously, not a Jose buy. Therefore, will never get a game or chance even ... which is a shame because u just never know ... Falcao = Jose wanted him because he had a personal point to prove to LVG that he could do better. An ego influenced signing ... Yet the whole forum knew would be a waste of money ...

I posted this in the Traore thread but I've added it here because it sort of responds to your thoughts above ... It's Jose himself who continues to pick those players and refuses to explore any other avenue ... Under Jose's watch we might as well shut down the youth academies ... a Fergie, Jose definitely ain't! Emenalo and his scouting staff might as well go on vacation because Jose is stubbornly NOT interested in any other persons opinions or purchases. Hence, Jose purposely dismantled all previous efforts by getting rid of an amazing array of talent acquired b4 his arrival just to prove a point that Jose knows best ...

Not a RB ... Obvious for all to see, except Jose ...

Won't get a look in under Jose's watch ... even when we have nothing to lose ...

I don't want Jose sacked but the Team needs a radical overhaul and Jose's not the man to do it ... he plays the safe option, every single time ... For example, 3 youngsters on the bench today which is totally pointless because even when we have little to lose they will never get the chance to play. Jose's totally consistent in this approach ...

Complete utter waste of money ... Virtually all on this forum could have told Jose that. However, Jose had a personal point to prove to LVG that he could do better. Piss poor judgement.

Needs a run in the team to gain confidence, settle in and come up trumps ... If his name was Ivan, no problem ... every opportunity would be given and more ...

Not a Jose buy. Therefore, will never get a game or chance even ... which is a shame because u just never know ...

I think the problem with Jose is that he is much too conservative ... He's not a risk taker, at all. Hence, the virtually zero chances most of the squad fringe and youth players get, or will ever get ... I suspect if he managed Man Utd, back in the day Becks, Nevilles and the likes would never have been given opportunities to break into the first team ... When Jose arrived for his 2nd spell he stamped his authority by getting rid of our best player Mata ... it was clear for all to see. This sent out a clear signal to the rest of the first team that no one is infallible and it worked ... It got the reaction he wanted and we soon won the league, etc. ...this Management style does bring rewards short term ... long-term, not so sure? Today, Jose seems stuck in a groove, so to speak and seems reluctant to change it ... Hence, the performances have stagnated ... Hence, he is much too conservative ...

Not bad this evening. However, Jose is too conservative ... He will never take risks ... Therefore, it's a totally pointless exercise taking any of our fearless youngsters abroad. They won't be fielded. Leaving RLC at home highlights the problem ...

Really difficult to predict ... I'd take a well earned draw ...
