He seems to do it to all the CB's. One bad game and you are out for a few.

You need to have consistency in your defence not constant chopping and changing.

----------------------------------

Jose only has only himself to blame for our defensive woes so far. Lack of consistency, dropping players, saying in the media he isn't getting the signings he wants (another CB after having 5 already, 2 he bought) and our desperate approach to signing one on the last day of the window (ok the board is also to blame here).

Also heard on Sky that Jose was moaning about not having a left sided CB. He has only had what, 3 summers to sort that out.

Does nothing to help a players confidence. I disagree with G.Nev when he said that Jose should have been backed by the board in buying another CB. I thought the board were quite right in holding back after seeing that the £60m they have invested in Bailly and Lindelof has not solved our issues, yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Naive statement

Bailly was bought for the first team, he clearly stated Lindelof was for the future. Any watching Bailly play can see he needs a calming leader next to him.

Jose saw that and Ed didn’t sort it. All this nonsense of 60m wasted....his total defensive outlay is less than Liverpool spent on VVD.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There's 3 months between them age wise... And Lindelof has played 100 more career games... So that's rubbish

He's bought 2 cbs in 2 years... 1 is good enough albeit rash... The other is dogshiite

I actually think Sanchez is part of the reason for the lack of backing during the summer... The money invested in him as a senior ready made star and how crap he has been... I think is maybe why the board are doubting Joses judgement in older players, particularly with the doubts re injuries etc that hung over reported targets (Boateng? Not good enough even when fully fit)

...........................

And this is so evident. The nearest to a leader we have is the very player who makes the most mistakes and is always injured, Jones.

Jose I believe brought in sanchez for one reason and one reason only that was to get one over Pep. He was not needed as the attack was playing well and more settled then than it is now. How much money will he cost by the end of his contract with no sell on value. If Linddelof was bought for the future is he really any better than TFM or Tuanzebe. I don't think he was for future as Jose doesn't do future he is just not a really good judge. So defensive buys are bad, midfield buys poor also and upfront Lakaku and sanchez not great either. Your calls Jose 0-7
