Not one for chopping and changing but it’s clear this away form isn’t getting better we just lack any bottle or any nous how to get points away from home even when we’re poor we don’t grind our draws it’s a straight forward defeat every time! Would mourinho stand for the likes of schneiderlein moping round the pitch,not a chance

Oh Jesus Christ. We aren't getting Mourinho. He's utterly passed it.

Our home form is great. We look a different side.

Away is a worry. Silva got it badly wrong yesterday but ultimately the players are out there on the pitch and made simple mistakes. Keane was abysmal and unfortunately Brands' massive failure to get no CB cover in means we can't change it. We're also relying on two strikers who have about 30 career goals between them. Again, a failing of Brands.

They're all equally to blame for our away form. And they're all equally at credit for the home form. Players, manager, DoF, coaches.
 
Look at the teams we played can hardly say we thrashed them in reality a bit lucky.

Hahha ey?

Chelsea first half aside we absolutely battered Arsenal. Could have been 4 or 5 had we had our shooting boots on. In fact, the next game we did, and hammered United 4-0. Then easily beat Burnley.

Then against Watford yes, rode our luck. Wolves we were the better side. We didn't quite click into gear until the end but when we did in spells we cut them open.

The start to the season has been poor because we've had three aways and we're just a dreadful team away from home. Silva now needs to change that and get to the root of the problem by realising we have other options than his rigid system.

At home we aren't obsessed with possession and play more on the counter pressing high. Why he's obsessed with possession away from home is beyond me.

Brands doesn’t pick the same 4-2-3-1 every single game..doesn’t pick Morgan schneiderlein ahead of Tom Davies who was excellent for England last week...he doesn’t shoehorn in Sigurdsson who averages 1 good game in 3 at best...he also doesn’t sit there looking clueless when Everton go behind

If mourinho is utterly past it lord knows what we have in charge now

What CBs or strikers could he have got that were willing to come to us or we could afford. I have said before the other clubs have to be willing to sell so again I ask what players had you in mind?

True some have put in dreadful performances but do you think the selection, tactics and subbing have helped or not?

Battering a team does not win games, goals do.

haha

England u21s versus Kosovo U21s, it's a crap standard. Schneiderlin may be a hate figure but he is miles better than Davies

Yes but his failure to address two key areas in the side is on him. I said it last month and stand by it.

But of course Silva has got it badly wrong away from home.

But you can't have it both ways. Our home form is excellent and generally has been all last season bar that iffy spell in the middle.

Davies has done nothing to get in that side yesterday and I'll say it again – we weren't awful! What my annoyance with Silva is that when we did have control - and we did have control, just no threat - he didn't build on that control. That's my worry. His subs are dreadful.

But you can't just point out the bad and ignore the good.

And yes, Mourinho is passed it.
