Manager Jose Mourinho

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

That is month of conditioning of players like Winks and Sissoko where they are afraid to make decisions because when anyone makes what Mourinho seems to be a mistake they get dragged over the coals for it and embarrassed in front of the whole squad. This damages the confidence of our players and makes them less likely to make decisions so they play scared. This man management style is ok if you can burn through a squad in a three year period and bring in expensive replacements but this style of man management shows me that Mourinho is utterly unsuitable for management of any club other than two or three.
Winks and sissoko aren't going to shag you mate.
And i don'think they would turn world class even if they were coached by the great pep. There are players that you just have to replace
 
We didn't sit back in a low block though. That's why we lost 3-0. The players didn't play, they didn't do anything. They just let Dinamo win. If we'd played in a compact, aggressive low block we wouldn't have lost. Instead we just farted around like it was a testimonial leaving huge spaces everywhere and letting Dinamo run around unchallenged. You can't call it a low block if it wasn't low and didn't block anything. We were open as a barn door.

Mourinho definitely doesn't like to take too many risks but what we saw against Dinamo was players who didn't give a shit. They didn't care about the match, they didn't respect the opponent, they weren't arsed about the competition. No matter what tactics we prepared, the performance would have been the same. They didn't care.
For 15 million a year he should be able to motivate players, and if all 11 were so uninterested then maybe he should have made some subs to change the game/picked some different players

Don’t fall for his ‘the players weren’t good enough/didn’t do what I told them’ bullshit

It’s never Jose’s fault is it
 
So after today game we actually have 2nd best defense in the league ( with the worst set of defender he ever have in his career ) and 4th best attack based on the amount goals scored and conceded. Mourinho is miracle workers , all we need to do is give him time and some players he personally chose , he will definitely bring us trophies , lots of you are just being nonsense whole time just because you hate Mourinho . Even Michael Schumacher would came last in a F1 competition if you gave him a fiat , but it doesn't mean he is a bad driver. just trust and back Mourinho

We don’t agree on anything normally, but your assessment of Winks and Sissoko as footballers is spot on..

Not sure you can definitely rule out the shagging bit, that is surely supposition on your part

Finished 6th last season

currently 7th after a a £90mil spend

he is Michael Schumacher, the 2010-12 version who’d lost the old magic

Of course it’s his fault, he‘s the manager. He is the first person responsible for results, but the players also have to take their share of the blame. They disgraced themselves and everyone who wanted Tottenham to win that match. There is a minimum level of effort that is expected of any professional and they didn’t reach it. Even Hugo came out and said that.

Those same players played in first gear in the home leg and it was enough for a routine 2-0 win. All they had to do was match that level and they couldn’t even do that. They deserve to have their careers at this club ended.

i did not say they were amazing players they are just much better than what we saw on the night. The fact is if you lose confidence under Mourinho you can end up going further and further down the rabbit hole because he just goes on about your mistakes and does not work on building you back up look at Luke Shaw.

It's ferrari whom lost their magic , they no longer winning even after he retired.
There are still 9 games left in the league and we are 6t , a win today will bring us 4th. A place you guys has been celebrating for the last 5 years under poch

Ferrari own fiat you numpty. They are the same company.
But you will beat him in straight line driving a Mclaren if he didn't have his ferrari , doesn't mean you are better driver than him though

Luke shaw ? 1 good ( debateable ) and ( possibly trophyless ) season in the last 7 season being the best paid left back in the world , that luke shaw you mean ? Sorry to say but Jose standard is much higher than him ,we spanked them 6-1 earlier this season because jose knows exactly how to exploit his braindead positioning..if he was as good as media has been talking about , OGS wouldn't have to play 2 DM every game


Oh and we don't need to have a confident winks and sissoko , we only need to replace them

We beat Utd because it was their second game of the season and Harry Kane’s brilliance, the sending off helped hence why Utd are second in the league.

It’s a pity jose couldn’t exploit weaknesses in a few other teams this season! You are a jose fan boi picking one game where we played against 10 men. What about the utter shite v Chelsea twice, Brighton, pool x 2, goons, city , etc etc. Where was his superior managerial skills then? Hope I’m wrong but OGS manure will rock up at our place and we will most likely do what we always do against any one perceived to be slightly better than us. Make them look like prime barca!
