The comebacks against Palace, City, Chelsea and Spurs were the main highlights for me. That to me is the biggest progress shown to date. For the past 4 years we showed almost absolutely no fight when we went down. What I'll give Jose credit for is trying to instill a harder and tougher attitude in the players. He's trying to establish the high standards again. We were starting to become a country club for players: big paycheque, big club, live off past achievements and fame rather than your own etc. I'm happy at least that Jose is trying to toughen up some of the weak links in our squad. Don't you want the standard again where the manager is the boss? Chelsea are the prime example of when you give players way too much leeway. They've given up on two managers after winning the title. So quite frankly Merson and the ABU brigade can fuck off. You shouldn't be fearing your manager if you're putting the effort in.
It’s more than that, in pretty much all of these games we were extremely fortunate to hold on to 1:0 lead or have the game tied till the point that we somehow scored 3-4 more goals.
