Manager Jose Mourinho

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It's strange how such an inept manager has managed to be so successful over the years, while these individual talent that can overcome his ineptitude have repeatedly failed.

The statements by Lloris made clear where the problem lies, but feel free to keep blaming Mourinho for everything.

Even if Mourinho never wins another trophy, history will still remember him as one of the greatest managers ever. We on the hand will continue to wait on these individual talents that can overcome his ineptitude but can't overcome colchester.
You fall hook line and sinker for his bullshit don’t you. ‘It’s not me it’s the players’ ‘I told them to attack’ ‘they don’t follow my instructions’

If he’s such a legendary manager he should be able to get players to follow his instructions shouldnt he? He used the same tired excuse at united and in his second spell at Chelsea.

Tottenham history will remember Mourinho as possibly our worst ever manager, certainly of the last 20 years, he’s a fraud, a coward that throws people under the bus for decisions that HE’s made, an utter cunt of the highest order. Plays some of the worst football the game has ever seen, the ultimate anti football arsehole

No trophy is worth having him as our manager, even the European cup.

But keep kissing your poster of him cupping his ear and keep lapping up his bullshit

Spurs were here before him and we’ll fucking be here after him
 
Ndombele is not our best midfielder. He can barely play 60 minutes, and when he does he spends half the game ball watching.

I'm sure he has some talent, but he doesn't have the desire the show that at Spurs.
Who is then? Puffer Holjberg? He’s fucking average, who do you think would flourish in City’s midfield out of those two?
 
Why not let a guy who has won trophies have a go in the final that we have reached with him in charge. The manager before had 5 seasons to try to win one and didnt.
So because we beat Brentford at the start of January, we should leave a failed manager in charge until the end of April, another 5 or 6 weeks from now?

I said it two or three weeks back, that would be madness.

It remains madness.

Since that epic win over Brentford, we’ve plummeted out of contention for the title, top four, and been knocked out of the FA Cup and the Europa League.

But yeah, give him another 5 weeks so he can have a crack at the League Cup final.
 
really we should want jose to stay, because if he does stay he can cut out the cancer which is the shit cunts who lloris is on about. sack jose and we are still stuck with them useless little prima donnas, then the cycle just repeats itself. we need a culture change at the club, get rid of the poncy little immature kids and get some actual professional footballers in, ones who actually have some pride.

jose gets sacked and whats going to happen? someones going to come in, give these no good little losers yet another chance and yet again set us back at least a year while damaging us even further.
Sacking Mourinho would cut out a bigger “cancer” than any of the players.
 
for me many of you seem to think Jose told the players to go out and play like Drains
I hoped Jose would bring in that winning mentality to players and so push us over the line, it hasn't happened, Jose has been a winner yes dinosaur style of play, but he has won everywhere.
when big games come along who of or players stands up in those games ? in the past 10 seasons or so i can only think of Bale, & VDV who have stood up in big games,
the squad which Poch put together we mentality weak (the battle of stamford bridge, why fight when you should beat them with football) Poch said he would sort out the Mentality of the players he did nothing (no new strong willed players no mentality coaches)
Dier, Alli, Winks have been playing the same poor way for years yet they are still here
 
No, the reason we lost the second leg is Mourinho’s outdated tactics, his team selection and the fact he has lost the dressing room with his cowardly attitude

Our worst manager of the last 20 years by a country mile
The reason we lost the second leg was entirely down to the players and lack of effort.
Watch all 3 goals and tell me any different.
There is a reason why Winks Aurier Sissoko Davides and Dier have very rarely been trusted in the Premier league by Jose they are shit.
They even had the cushion of a 2 goal lead and they still fucked it up.
I hope we never see any of the 5 mentioned players in our shirt again they can also take I am a celebrity Deli Alli with them
 
That is not true. From the start of 2019 things started going downwards and there was zero signs of improvement. From jan to the end of that season it was 19 games and 26 points. Then after the new season started it was 12 games 14 points. That points to things getting worse not better.
Thing is like many jose fan bois keep saying about judging him over a season. Well the 2018-19 season even though we had a bad run mixed in with the CL run plus Kane being out for two months plus sonny out at the end we still did enough over the whole of campaign to get top 4.

i agree with what you say (except I think since Bale has started to play well, Deli is trying to turn himself around)
the trouble is due to covid we have no money this summer to replace them all, Toby will be too old next season to be EPL CH, so we need 2/3 CH's one must be left footed, we need RB, DM, AM who can see a pass (younger versions of eriksen or modric ) we just don't have the money or the head of scouting to pick these players (Scouts can highlight players its the Head of scouting that gives ok to push name forward)

If they have rarely been trusted in the premier league why were they trusted in what was our biggest game of the season?

Yeah, who would have thought that getting Top 4 and to a Champions League final in his last season, is actually a cause to blame our former manager for.

Ridiculous narrative that iz futbal iz futbal constantly repeats.


If only we could be that unsuccessful again.

It's harsh, but I am not sure anymore.

One damning verdict is that this squad - while unbalanced and not strong enought for any title challenge - is still vastly superior to the squads of any Spurs manager, right up to late Harry Redknapp.

(What I couldn't give to have Corluka, a crooked Ledley and Scotty Parker back now, just to name a few.)
 
Pinch of salt, it's Duncan Castles but I now follow the Mourinho cheerleader when the dinosaur became our manager. Anyway, he says that it is his understanding that Mourinho DOSE have a break clause in his contract!!! (@26min)

Winning Mentality is about confidence to hold on, confidence to be able to beat the opposition and being able to do it. A man who is constantly sniping at people cannot bring a winning mentality .
 
I mean Jose must be the worlds unluckiest manager.

he has now found the 6th different dressing room which is totally divided and the players are constantly putting in poor performances, with perceived lack of effort and mentality.

I am not sure anybody else has found 2, let alone 6.


The other 5 did seem to sort themselves out after he had been sacked though
