He just fits with the type of squad they have. The guys not an idiot and he will have reflected on his mistakes, studied this Tottenham side and both Liverpool/ City.
The difference between United & Spurs is that Tottenham players are intelligent, capable of high intensity physical play and very adaptable. The profile/spine of players are a.lot like His Inter & Chelsea sides. Jose when connected with his squad and happy is one of the best managers of all time.
I don't want Jose or Tottenham to succeed but I'm calling it now....theyre gonna become a ruthless side and very hard to beat.
Spurs will Challenge under Mourinho

The last 20 mins today are why no group of players can possibly thrive under Jose any longer. They did the exact same thing we did under him when we were leading. Surrendered any initiative and lost all fear factor. He let the opposition have the ball and hoped to hang on.
And it was anything but ruthless
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The last 20 minutes yesterday were how Spurs have been all season, and most of 2019. Yesterdays poor last third of the match, had very little to do with Mourinho.
I prefer to dwell on the 60 minutes previously which were a big improvement on anything Spurs have done this season.

Gazzaniga is a good goalkeeper, Lloris shouldn’t get his place back, or the captaincy.
The back 4 needs replacing; Aurier isn’t good enough. Vertonghen is 33. Rose is a muppet and wants out. Alderweireld is still quality and only turned 30 a few months ago, Jose should try to get him signed.
Beyond the defence he has a host of very good players at his disposal. Winks, Ndombele, Sissoko, even a fit Dier is a decent set of central mid options for a 4231. Winks and Ndombele in particular are very good players.
Yesterday he played a front four of Son, Kane, Moura and Dele. That is our best front 4 and would give any team problems with Kane’s finishing, Son and Moura running in the channels (both good finishers) and Dele playing passes between the lines; assuming Jose can reinvigorate Dele and get the best out of him. That still leaves options of Eriksen, Lo Celso and Lamela. Although I’ve been clear that I don’t want to see Eriksen or Rose in a Spurs shirt ever again so I hope he facks the pair of them off.
If the recruitment people he’s brought in can get a few signings right, then who knows.
The first two things that need to happen are an improvement in fitness and winning mentality. Both o those things have been lacking and it showed in the last 15 minutes yesterday. Get fitness up and instil a ruthless mentality into these players and that will be a good start, because the ability is there for sure.

We know all that Ace, nothing new here.
Question is,
12. who will do it?
2.When will it happen?
3. How much will it cost old baldy?
Answer those questions, and you'll have something interesting to say!

Given Jose's recent defensive signings @ United, I wouldn't hold much hope of him getting it right any time soon, especially with that tight 4rse Levy holding the purse strings.

Spurs are top on saves with 59 saves after 13 league games. Man City last season keepers saved 58 shots from 38 league games.
Lloris better keeper:

Shut up Ted you mug. Those aren’t questions they are predictions. Unless you’ve invented a time machine you don’t know any more than anyone else what the outcomes will be. Plus, I have plenty more interesting to say than the likes of you.

As I said, you're just revisiting old hat.
You need to get ahead of yourself!
