Jose Mourinho

spids · Jul 18, 2020

Hopefully Jose will really appreciate by now that if we have players who can cross the ball Harry Kane will score a lot of headers. In between his first game in charge (away at West Ham where Harry scored a towering header) and the Newcastle game (where he scored two headers), we've been unable to deliver hardly any decent crosses despite regularly getting our RB free high up the pitch.

I am so happy to have him as our manager. I’ve got a strong feeling he’s got a plan in place and will be a huge success here. If anyone can bring a true winning mentality back to Spurs, it’s Jose Mourinho.

Gonna be a lot of hardcore Pochettes on here needing a cuddle and a glass of warm titty milk after seeing that. Beautiful

I hope this doesn’t undo him like the Poch book Kind of did Poch. Would be just our luck.

I don't get whats so difficult to understand.

Our results have been pretty good since Jose came in and in my opinion the football served up has been abject. As such, Im ecstatic with the progress made points wise but unhappy with the garbage football that has been served up.

Im happy to define what I deem to be "garbage football" if that helps, but essentially my point is that it perfectly possible to be concerned about the nature of our football and recognise the points improvement.

Give it time. Jose is doing what was entirely necessary - working on defensive solidity. And the progress in that respect is there for all to see.

That is the foundation. It has to be built first. Defensive solidity will eventually become the springboard for attacking threat. The latter will come.

Also, I wouldn't say that our style of play has been universally "garbage". It hasn't been hoofball. Nor has it, by a long shot, been entirely defensive. What it too often lacks at the moment is cohesion, pace of attacking play, good decision making and delivery of the final ball. Some of that will be fixed with time and familiarity with what is being asked of the players. And some of it will be fixed by buying well (I trust Jose to do better in that regard than Poch).

Give it time.

How refreshing is it to see that................. proper change in mentality

reminded me of a post i put up when we first got Jose

Starter, i loved Poch to bits but....
Whenever he spoke I always had the impression with him he focused on and talked a lot about the team, setting them up, respect the opposition etc etc.. I don't disagree with any of that, but surely sometimes he just needed to be arrogant and say do you know what you are better than this lot, go out and dominate and smash them.. Of course he could have been saying that behind the scenes, but do you actually believe it?

With Jose he has literally said it on day 1 how good the players / squad are and i get the feeling he is going and saying that to them personally.. Tell em how good they are, build there confidence and be a bit arrogant about how you play IMO. I think thats the mentality change thats the biggest thing we'll get with him...

This made me so happy. Sick of being the nice guys and ending up empty handed

Are you saying that the football was better before he arrived?

It would quite difficult to argue the point that the football played before was any worse

It was at best as bad. It was spineless, disorganised and methodless, the antithesis of everything Pochettino treasured.

You obviously don't

You missed the point or misunderstood.

In your opinion.

I absolutely love the cups,the FACup, League Cup (whatever it has been called). Don’t forget winning cups has really been what our club has achieved (except title). Winning cups has been our past,despite a lengthy barren spell.

Haha, look at Eriksen's reaction.

I may watch this Amazon documentary after all. Should be quite entertaining.
