'No respect' for Tottenham as a club - Mourinho

Spurs manager Jose Mourinho says Tottenham "deserve more respect" as a club after conceding from a controversial late penalty in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle United.

He needs to start getting results, his star is starting to dim in my eyes.

To be fair - today absolutely should have been a win and I can't really blame Mourinho for that one.

It would have been our 4th win on the bounce and also would have seen us just lose once in our last 11 in all competitions.

Frustrating though - especially when we see Everton and Leicester 5 points clear of us.

I thought we were outstanding today.
Good saves and the woodwork was the only thing stopping the score reflecting the performance.

Except Dier.
Need to stop playing Dier Jose. Just bench him.

Build that siege mentality Jose. It's us against the world.

I think something is gradually changing after the Everton game... we got Reggie and Bale, Ndombele is starting showing who he is and today we had possibly the best half under Jose.

But I like to think that more than anything this game will give us a massive siege mentality, which could make a lot of difference this season

It´s also interesting to notice that, since we signed Reguilón - even though he didn´t play yet -, we stopped playing asymmetrical FB´s - Ben Davies is pushing high, just as much as Doherty.

I don't agree with this siege mentality bullshit. I just think it's more likely it gives players excuses for failure. They can blame everyone and everything other than themselves.

To often that approach is focused on uncontrollables like pitches, injuries, officials, decisions etc.

Siege mentality is a double edge sword, and it can go as you said. But if properly managed (as in "fuck all, we are stronger than everything and we are gonna show you") it can be a big advantage

I saw my national team (Italy) winning two world cups because of that (in relation to the criticism they were getting from the press, mainly). Of course you need more than that, but it can make a difference
 
I liked his post match interview, clearly extremely pissed off and still bristling at the result, but he refused to be drawn on the penalty and chose to focus on the positives.
Building the siege mentality also.
