West Ham, West Brom away, Palace, Villa, Sunderland and Norwich. We lost 15 points there. We'd be talking about breaking points records again if we had picked them up.
Checked this years record and it wasn't too crash hot. True strikers and lack of creativity explain it to a large degree, but the record at Inter and Real is irrelevant because the players were different. With our team and our manager and all of this season, not beating lower teams was our archives heel, and there must be a reason. I wouldn't simply rule out arrogance or attitude . Equally there must be a solution ,and I'm sure they'll sort it.
Obviously this year's record wasn't great. Jose's record v 'lesser' teams 2004-7 was the best in the history of the Prem
I understand the striker comment, but lack of creativity? You have Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle and Willian. You also let Mata go, who is one of the most creative players in the league. That's without the new guys you bought in January. How much creativity do you want?
We obviously need more, how else do you explain us not being able to unlock West Brom, West Ham, Norwich..... so many frikkin 0-0's and 1-0 defeats!!
Wrong tactics and the striker issue? As players they are as creative as anyone in the league, but Mourinho seems to be too conservative in the big games - 1 - 1 against us comes to mind when we were there for the taking. Didn't you leave all your strikers out against Man Utd and end up drawing? Mourinho has to bear some responsibility.
You may have a point. Its better to attack an win 4-2 than defend and draw 0-0 or lose 1-0. But Jose wouldnt be able to handle us shipping those 2 goals.
