Doherty...... rubbish, couldn't handle Richarleson all game.
Hojberjg .... mediocre unimaginative midfield crap, never made any imaginative play all game.
Alli..... a lost man, useless.
Dier... no way a replacement for Vertonghen.
Davies ...not good enough, never has been.
Son ...great out on the left wing, lost in the center...manager's error.
Kane .... time to move on, will never win anything under ENIC.
Alderwiereld .... over the hill, I'm sorry to say.
Ndombele.... given 15 minutes to prove himself....this manager will never use him properly.
Mourinho..... a lost cause, old baldy must be thinking about it already!
Spurs fans.....you are in for a very disappointing season.....get ready, the worst has only just begun. Wait till we face a really good team....like Leeds! .....
Back to what the OP was asking I honestly don't think he will be sacked unless we are 9 points beind the top 4 with about 8 games in or so.
Yes we were shat today but it's only 1 game, look at our neighbours under Weneger they often lost there first game but went on to win league's and finish top 4.
I'm no fan of Jose but we can't sack him after 1 game I'm afraid. If anyone needs sacking it's the board, absolute pissss poor again in the window, if Levy really wanted success he needs to start competing with the big spenders and that will never happen.

Jose said the players were lazy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They were.
Hojbjerg will be this season's Aurier for you guys.
How the fack can you be lazy. Disgraceful
Jose called the players unfit, unready and lazy which I don't think anybody will argue with.
The problem is its his job to send them onto the pitch ready, fit and up for it. I felt he had a free hit last season as he inherited a shambles however that no longer applies and he carries the can for the bollox that we served up yesterday.
I still don't know if the Dele sub for Sissoko at half time was an injury or tactical can somebody please enlighten me? At least we created some chances in the first half unlike the second.
Yes you can blame Jose for the tactics. Think we all know he sets things out way too defensively, with a seemingly just don't loose ( rather than try to win ) mentality.
But yesterday this was mainly about player performances. After the goal, they all literally gave up and were just strolling around. No pressing, no energy, no desire to get back into the game. You have got to hope these players went home and had a hard look at themselves.
Yes Everton played well, but we helped them with that considerably.

agreed.
he did well on the face of it last season to pull is up the league a little but we were helped by Son and Kane being back fit after lockdown.
if we are in a shambles come November again we have to be reconsidering
Even by his own pi55 poor standards, Sissoko was a total embarrassment yesterday

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The chances in the first half were due to Son playing out on the left wing.
At half-time Mourinho saw fit to move Son into the center field where he did nothing all second half.
That management decision alone may well have cost the match.
Alli was totally lost, a useless man. His days are numbered.
Replacement was obvious, who was a choice. It probably should have been Ndombele and not Sissoko.
Levy is going to have to spend big NOW to keep this club competitive for top 4 or top 6 or even mid-table.
And he should be thinking about replacing Mourinho.

Alli had to be replaced.
Sissoko had a bad game today, but choosing him may not have been a bad decision, depending upon how he has shown up in practice.
After all, he is still in the French National squad, and that means Deschamps still rates him.
I think Ndombele should have been Alli's sub at the half.
Maybe our players were just saving their energy for the Plodiv game ..... We are a Joke !
I'm not fan of Jose or his brand of football but Lets not forget (outside of a lucky CL run) we were total shlte under Poch for last 12 months of his time as manager..... We haven't bought the right players, or retained the right players.... The club is ROTTEN from top to bottom and its all down to Levy.... Sad times
Why were the players lazy though, is it because they weren't fit enough or weren't motivated enough? Do you think like us, they get affected by the transfer window and lose patience in Levy and it crushes their confidence to want to perform knowing we'll get nowhere with him?
more like that this season from Dele then needs to go in the summer. Need him back to his best or needs to fack off.

Cannot succeed in the Prem by trying to do things on the cheap. It worked for a while (Poch in his prime) but this situation was coming..... anyone with half a brain cell could see it

If so I don't agree. Without being great we were much better in the first half than the second. Infact our best spell of the game was just before half time. I think he should of left things alone for a bit.
The 2nd half performance was 49 mins of nothing.
Must be difficult for these players to go from a high pressing, attacking team challenging for the title to a sit back and hoof it team in the space of three years.
Our decline is quite staggering and I don't think the downward slope is anywhere near the bottom yet!
The lack of investment and hiring Mourinho has completely facked us.
