    When teams defend deep and his team fail to break them down (WBA, Everton) does Jose need a plan B?

    I think it's 11 draws this season now, what needs to change?

    Heard this somewhere before? Must be imagining things.

    Every manager needs a Plan B, Jose is no different. If teams are sitting deep then either the playmakers step up their slide rule passing or the wingers stretch the back lines with added instructions to the central players to expose the pockets of space that should create, theoretically. Ultimately when teams are sitting deep, you just have to be savvy in order to break them down, but does the team in question have the required personnel? About 80% of the games involving Spurs are usually against teams sitting deep, 2 banks of 4....and stretching them at the flanks and creating space in the middle is a tactic as good as any but you need the personnel or on field intelligence. Id say United have that personnel....but Mourinho is Mourinho.

    Maybe Fellani should play more often?

    Jose is much like Poncetto but with trophies, neither have a plan B. Jose just continues to rave on about only one team is trying to win whilst changing nothing and Poncetto rests players for their cup final but gets humped....it's a tough one.

    I guess some people know more about stretching wingers than others.

    I think he will run, a lot and then run some more, he's a modern day Forrest Gump.

    How does that help break down teams that sit with 2 banks of 4?

    Jose's Plan B will be to spend loads more dough in the summer and then revert to his Plan A (expensive talented players generally bettering the opposition).
