I can’t remember seeing a more passive Spurs side in my lifetime. We go 1-0 up, completely sit back, don’t press at all and are the exact opposite of what I would call pro-active.
We played Norwich at home yesterday, not Barcelona. Yet for long periods we let them control possession and looked to hit them on the counter, a better team would’ve put us to the sword sooner.
Yesterday was 100% down to the tactics because soon after Norwich equalised we dominated the play and probably should’ve won it before extra time. On the subject of extra time, I’m so disappointed we didn’t win it then because Norwich players were completely dead on their feet.
I really do want Mourinho to prove me wrong as he’s a fantastic character. Unfortunately, the bloke is a bit of a footballing dinosaur.
Also, WTF is he playing at by publicly claiming he will only prioritise one of the two games against Burnley and Red Bull? And he’ll ask Levy to decide which? News flash, that’s YOUR job to decide and you should be looking to win both games.
A couple of side notes:
- I notice Gedson has become a convenient scapegoat despite being one of our better performers yesterday
- Dier is a much better CB

When we were losing under Poch you were putting all the blame on him and saying he had a very good squad which was underachieving.
Why does the same now not apply to Mourinho ?

This must be a new record for Jose. Only taken a few months for Tottenham fans to see through Jose's bullsht.
What an idiot Levy is though. Had such a good manager and guy in Poch and let him go..

Plenty of us saw through Mourinho's sheite before he was even hired.

If Sandy could hold an opinion he would be a decent guy. But the man just relentless argues and backs his position only to switch sides months down the line and continue making the same mistake.
You could create an entire debate of two polar opposite sides off the back of Sandy's comments alone.

Poch was a good manager for three years, but was next to useless the last year. He had to go. Most of the players now not performing are Poch`s players not Joses

thought his players werent his players when he came in and they're all shat?

existing players we had when he came in: Walker, Rose, Verts and Dembele all were transformed by Poch, incidentally the players Poch went on about needing to replace and it never happened. Hence Levy chopped him and we have been shat for a couple of years now.

honestly how this is overlooked by some fans is hilarious. straight jumping on the managers back, no loyalty or patience whatsoever.

Let's be fair. Pochettino built significant influence due to the way he transformed the team over the year but you cannot expect to sign star quality if the chairman doesn't provide the funds for it in the first place.
He called out the need for a rebuild and changing the way we do things unless we are happy to stagnate or decline and the easy option was always to sack him instead of investing on the squad.
Easy option however doesn't mean the right one. In Mourinho, unless a miracle is performed I don't see the players he targets being the ones Levy signs off on.
Our policy has been clear for a decade. Signing young players and hope to keep them long enough to create a good team and/ or sell them on for profit.
Mourinho tends to buy more experienced and already established players.
