And this is why I think a lot of this is Mourinho's fault...his constant whining in the media and complaining has just removed all confidence in the squad.
You can see it in Martial, Bailly, Shaw, Darmian, and Lindelof's body language. They know the coach doesn't rate them well, they had to listen to him complain all summer about how the squad wasn't good enough (and how he wanted to replace them specifically), and now they all have shot confidence.
Maybe part of is was Jose was right and they weren't just good enough, but instead of making those decisions behind closed doors he ALWAYS has to take it public and now the players he does have don't trust him or want to play for him.
And this tends to be like clockwork for Jose because he's done it at his last 3-4 stops now.
