Very nice seeing the early tactical change and the presser after... If Dier + Winks start against Bournemouth though it's all moot

When Eriksen came on tonight my heart sank and I expected us to become even more porous at the back. But Jose must have fired Eriksen up because he was a completely different player. I thought Moura was doing well when Jose hooked him off for Sissoko. I expected that to cut down our attacking options but instead we pushed on. The only conclusion I can reluctantly reach is that Jose Mourinho knows more about football tactics than I do. Who'd have thought?

Just remember this when we inevitably lose a few games due to our inadequate defence and CDM, Jose can win us trophies but levy will need to give him 3-4 top class players to help him.

Not necessarily.
It took me a long time with Poch to get into the habit of not second guessing him and I think JM is the best person to make the call on who is best to play.
At least we know he will swallow his pride early doors if he gets it wrong and not stick with something that early isnt working.

Guy hasn't put a foot wrong so far and if this is his tactical baseline then next time things get stale etc, which they will, the players might want to think twice about putting the club in a position where it has to back them or the head coach.

It’s all about generating a team first culture and siege mentality in the squad

Hadn't thought about it that way but good point and hopefully it will give them something to think about!

Some on here would need to take note. If we are to turn this season round we need the whole club to stick together, fans included.

Anyone else see Gary Nevilles comments about Jose and levy being a relationship of convenience.
Jose Mourinho and Tottenham a 'marriage of convenience', says Gary Neville
Neville: "Mourinho needed to get back into the Premier League to re-establish himself. Levy needed someone who could get the football club quickly back up to a level that is acceptable and into the Champions League. This is a marriage of convenience."
www.skysports.com
It was really disappointing to read as until then I’d liked Neville as a pundit but it kind of belittled is really almost saying Jose is using us as a stepping stone back to top management but I think thsts just suck bollocks and really not sure why he’s said this especially as he worked with Jose at sky.
jose is 55, he probably thinks he’s realistically got 10-15 years left in management, mabye 10 at the top. He lives in London and ideally wanted a London job, he’s at a club which has a good squad, an amazing infrastructure, is only going in one direction and is a nice challenge and he loves an underdog challenge that’s what motivates him so spurs really is the ideal fit. Hopefully he does well and stays for 3-4 years then he’s nearly 60 and as he said could go back to Portugal to manage the national team or his old local team etc. He’s managed top clubs in every league and won trophies everywhere, why would he go anywhere else after Spurs? If he’s successful with us it’ll be one of his biggest achievements, he’ll have proved to everyone once and for all what a simply incredible football coach he is and has been and he can then wind down his career ideally in Portugal.
g.nev is a twat is basically what I’m saying.
