Yep, but Mourinho won't allow attacking football.

West Ham and yesterday their defence looked terrible. Rojo continually got turned, huge gaps between the centre halves which Palace got runners into. It's not looking good for England in the euros with Smalling at centre half. A team with a better forward line would have put a cricket score up against the raggies.

Yet not many teams if any have managed to do so this season. Thy must be doing something right

Completely agree. Smalling was being talked about as the new Bobby Moore at the beginning of the season, but the moment they started to attack teams they got ripped a new one and Smalling was found out to be what he is : a bang average defender. West Ham fucking destroyed them last week, regardless of the score.
 
Mourinho will spend a week with that squad, throw his toys from the pram, demand £500M and alienate most of the dressing room in the process.

He saw his own arse last season at Chelsea and that performance and subsequent sacking will have done a hell of a lot of damage.

They've scored a fucking dire number of goals this season because of the negative, defensive and possession based football Turtle has them playing. They only scored against Norwich because their defender fucked up.

Correct,we would all leak a lot less goals if we played 8 at the back.
