I only recently got into their pod and for the most part I really enjoy it, but it does feel like they're eager to stick the knife into Mourinho at every opportunity. Surely they will have to change their tune if we keep this up.Thoughts with Windy and Nathan at this difficult time
Mourinho's BBC interview: he's pretty much just announced his faith in the squad and put them on notice to... well pretty much go all the way.
He thinks we are ready.

If VAR had been used properly they should've had at least 1, if not 2 or 3 more red cards, so they got lucky again for the most part.

Yeah - they're fine and I actually agree with a lot of their sentiments and fears but, at some point, you have to be objective and they can't be. I think it was their fixation on Mourinho's use of "balls" imagery and metaphor in the documentary. Poch did exactly the same thing - in fact perhaps even stronger in his "cojones" talk - and to pretend otherwise is dishonest.
Still we're all Spurs fans. COYS!

Ok so I think it's pretty clear that the idea that Mourinho is past it, or a dinosaur, is wrong. And that he handcuffs his players creativity/attacking abilities is obviously not right.
He knows how to build a team and squad. I think whenever there is an inevitable decline at some point we should remember that he's worth keeping long term for the way he can attract players to the club and identify missing links. And he's obviously still a good coach. Give him time and I think he can win us trophies.

Yeah I felt they were forensically analysing every single thing Jose did in the documentary and putting it in about the most negative light possible, as if he was some completely misguided dinosaur. I'm not some blind Jose lover but I certainly didn't think he came across that badly and largely came across better than I expected.Yeah - they're fine and I actually agree with a lot of their sentiments and fears but, at some point, you have to be objective and they can't be.

I came out loving him even more. What he said about the mentality of the group was spot on. Way too nice. Lamela wouldn't have done what he did today if we didn't have José.

I'll hold my hands up. Delighted to say he's proved me totally wrong. Nothing boring about that. Absolutely buzzing after that performance. And Bale still to come. COYS!

At least you have the minerals to put your hands up and admit it lads.
The vast majority won’t.

And Lamela should have been sent off as well, I don’t understand the point of VAR if it’s not used for stuff like that.

Lamela’s always been a little shit ! Must have somehow just evaded Mourinho’s radar initially as he absolutely loves confrontation on the pitch

Honestly I really don’t see what Lamela did as that bad...yellow at worst.
It was much more of a push than what Martial did.
It was beautiful Argentinian cynical bastardness from Erik, laid the bait and Martial gobbled it up.

I think he has to be and I think Levy will.
