I didn’t expect Mason to fix that in a few days, and I don’t think we should be keeping him forever. But I did expect the players to play hard and work hard today. Instead we had a lot of passengers and some guys who just put in half-hearted efforts. I do question some of the decisions made by Mason as well. Sissoko? Winks for 90 minutes?

The Mourinho article in the Athletic addresses this - basically suggesting that, unlike Pep and Klopp, he has not been able to adapt to the modern player (softer, more entitled) and was basically trying to play exactly the same way as at Porto, Inter, Chelsea, RM....
