I'd be raging this morning if I were a Spurs fan. I think the writing is on the wall for Mourinho although it may take time to finally get rid because of the length of his contract and the size of the payoff.

Seems pretty clear to me that the players do not want to play his brand of football and will not work for him when he asks them to. It was the same at Man U towards the end. Players have grown up playing attacking football and trying to score goals. This brand of football is foreign to modern day players. Bale just didn't track back once and left Doherty (who is a poor defender and should never play as FB in a back 4) with 2 on 1 almost the whole game. No idea why Mourinho bought Doherty if he didn't want to play him as an attacking wing-back. He is an attacking player and a useful one if used right but an awful defender as much a liability as Aurier if not more.

You could understand it if he had a strong defence and weaker attack but the opposite was the case at Man U and Spurs. When he came to Spurs he said he'd change his tactics and looked at the game differently but look like it was all lies. He's been paid over £50m in payoffs in his careeer to date, you'd have to wonder if he sees it as easier money at this stage.

I totally agree with you on being a useless defender, but I totally disagree that he's a "useful" attacking player, because he simply isn't; he really is useless in both departments. He brings nothing to the team at all and I really cannot figure out why he even plays in front of Tanganga, let alone Aurier, who (imo) is far more dangerous on the attack.

The #3 at THFC, Reguilon, seems to be a bit of a ball-watcher.

The situation at Tottenham is strange when you cast your mind back to that great performance in smashing united 6-1 on there own turf.
