Players’ confident will be shot by his comment. He needs to go as soon as possible or we will be falling apart rapidly.
He’s right though.
Everyone I know was saying the same thing when Jones stepped up. Has to be one of the worst players that I ever seen play for us. I seen bad players, but they didn’t survive 7 years. He’s made a mistake in every game he’s started for club and country in his last five appearances. Whoever offers the waster another contract needs to go too.
Jose isn’t void of any blame. As a championship side having more possession than us at home is shocking. But some of the players like Jones and Lingard belong in the championship.
Lingard has to be the biggest mystery in football. Goes on a period where he scores some great goals. Then you look at his general play and ask what is he good at. Movement and pressing should be a given for any player at a top club. But what’s he actually good at besides stupid celebration? He was one of the reasons England looked hopeless from open play at the World Cup because he doesn’t have a creative brain.
But at the end of the day this is on Jose. He keeps picking these players. We were better off just keeping Tuanzbe and letting Jones go. Chong would be a better right wing option than we got right now especially as Lingard does strawberry float all.
Lukaku is also worrying. Every game he has missed a sitter or is flat footed waiting for something to happen.
I just hope the board act fast when the season can easily be saved rather than waiting till the end of the season.
