Jose Mourinho

[enfieldyid]

You're probably right.

Sack him.

We're not attracting anyone of the calibre of the names floated around in here though - you don't cut off the head of a dying rose if the problem is at the root.

Stupid analogy. Jose is not as talented as you think he is. He has always had world class playmakers. Eddie Howe would do a better job.

 

[Trotter]

He's not turning down that money. No one else is going to give it to him.

Yep, won't walk and Levy won't sack initially
Jose won't get anywhere near what he wants in window, he will initially say he is happy, and then put sly digs in at Levy after every poor performance, until he does fire him.

To work with the same inept players who would have then done for two managers? We're so inept that Eddie Howe just failed to get his elite Bournemouth team to score us lowly spurs.

Think before you type.

It should have been obvious when we brought Mourinho in what he would do. He's a defense-first manager. Other than the Sheffield game, we haven't conceded any goals in open play since the restart. That is certainly a positive. The negative is we can't attack for shit. Get Willian, Milik, Holjberg, and Castagne and I think it'll be different.

The simple answer is we need some players who aren't absolute dogshit. I'm sorry but Lamela is absolutely no different than he was under Poch, Sherwood, and AVB. It's not the manager. Ditto for Aurier and Sissoko - shocking players.

I will say the system doesn't get the best out of Kane as he's not the fastest player and can't really be as effective on the counterattack as he is if we play a higher press.

 

[spursfan77]

I've been a big supporter of Jose on here, but he is giving us absolutely nothing right now.

I know it must be hard to try and deal with the mental and physical lethargy in this squad but I've never seen such listless on the ball performances as our last few games.

Levy needs to think very hard about this situation. Leaving Mourinho for another season could be very damaging, especially if he can't back him sufficiently.

I agree. I really want to have the patience but it is hard. I knew we’d be bad again when the season restarted but I thought we’d score some goals with Kane and son back but they’ve been poor. The supply to them has been poor and the players look poor.

 

[überghost]

If he came to the cub and though that the squad had good potential he was a bad judge of talent and ability. If he still stand by this, would we have that kind of coach at our club?

If he came to the club and thought the squad had good potential, but experienced that the quality was poor - why has he not made the adjustments and changes required - given that he's a world class manager?

All I wan't to see i progress. The recent matches shows regress.
Worrying.

He'll drag the club through the dirt by the time hes gone for sure. In fact it will probably go on for years after too.

Yeah it'll be something like that. Imagine we'll continue being fucking terrible after the restart and things will get so toxic they'll be no way Levy will be able to keep him. Round about November?

He came to the club, looked at the squad and thought ‘There’s one man I need to build this team around’. Unfortunately for us it wasn’t Kane, it was Serge Aurier.

 

[shelfboy68]

Painful-Very!
Who is to blame in large for this dross?...???

Some people won't accept this but it's the one constant throughout, and will be here after this cluster fuck goes south.

 

[nailsy]

I’m doing my best to be patient until next season but it’s getting harder.

I've been saying exactly the same thing.

There's absolutely no enjoyment in watching us at the moment. I know he hasn't had a proper chance to build his own team here yet, but he should still be doing a lot better than this.

 

[Wick3d]

He is lucky that fans cannot attend games. Imagine this kind of football at the lane with the fans there. Doubt he would last till half-time.

 

[rossdapep]

Levy has to step aside........ He HAS to!

 

[agrdavidsfan]

It’s painful I don’t want to blame him but only him we can really blame for the game plan and we don’t seem to have one?

I just think he’s not a Tottenham manager sadly we aren’t about being stable and winning 1-0 he seems to be relying on individual brilliance at the moment instead of a plan in fact our players look over coached they all seem to be scared to Break the tactics.

our club is famous for playing attacking football we may not win many things and we may have a few games where we get smashed a season but.....that’s what spurs is about and sadly our fans will not tolerate this kind of football no matter how much success it brings us if it ever does.

So for that reason alone I hope we have a break clause at the end of the season it’s obvious it’s not going to work there’s to many problems and to many issues and I do not trust him to rebuild the squad in fact it would probably lead to a similar situation we had under hoddle? Where we had a lot of older mercenaries like your poyet’s,sherwoods,ferdinands.

the players he will sign will also fit his tactics of boredom and eventually as a fan base we will get sick of that so it’s just better to stop it now.

Before it costs even more to rebuild

We should look at

1) Nagelsman
2) Graham Potter
3) Tuchel
4) Rodgers
5) Nuno Espirito
6) Robert Martinez
7) Ten Haag

 

[Metalhead]

Was levy sold a dud with this brand new Joseball that was promised, mate?

If results don’t improve into next season then Jose has to take responsibility and in giving him the job, DL would have to take responsibility but let’s face it, only one will lose their job

 

[ClintEastwould]

The price to pay for sacking him pales in comparison to the hundreds of millions that we’ll lose if he sticks that final dagger into this squads heart. I said it before when we sucked under Poch and I’ll say it again. This is a talented squad. They were disillusioned under Poch and he admittedly had to go but Jose will wring every last ounce from this squad.

 

[riggi]

Perfect.

Can't get my head round the fact some dont see the common denominator...

Disproportionate Jose out to Enic out.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

He came to Spurs after a period as a pundit and like all the other idiots in media thought our players were better then what they actually are!

Most of our squad is made up of bang average premiership footballers or purple patch players.

We used to have team of at least 7 or 8 players who were 7 or 8 rating out of 10 nearly every week. You then had players like Eriksen, Dele,Son who would turn up for certain matches or for a run of games but it didn't matter as the Dembele's , Kane's, the whole defence and goalkeeper and Wanyama and Dier for a season each would keep the team going.

Now we have not one player who is 7 or 8 out of 10 nearly every week. That there lies the problem.

Again though, why are they playing badly?

Yes it was going downhill under Poch, and now we've hired a guy that is finished.

These players dont play as bad as this for their national teams.

Nobody can tell me that Lloris, Kane, Son, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Toby and Verts are average players.

 

[mpickard2087]

For someone who is renowned for being great at game management, again tonight I thought it was very much a mixed bag.

HT subs seemed to work ok, I'd argue we were having our best spell of the match (I admit, it was a very low bar!) and just starting to build some pressure and string and zip some passes together when we came out with more of a 4-3-3, Ndombele-Winks-Sissoko with Lamela and Son playing off of Kane. But then we changed to a 4-2-3-1 when Sissoko got hooked, Ndombele came out of the 8/10 position in the left channel into the double pivot, and we lost the impetus again.

Its an exceptional point.
