Ngl but today was the first day that I thought about the decision to sign Mourinho. I understand we won't be a possession based team but the first half wasn't a massacre because of Hugo Lloris.

I love his man management and the way he speaks in press conferences but today I am very unsure about his tactics now.

We couldn't make any threaten against Leipzig with no natural CBs. We can't make 3 passes under pressure. Everything feels weird tbf.

After what I see today, it feels I was right. How did we play the full 90 minutes with a back 5 is beyond my intelligence.

Horrible subs. We were losing the battle in midfield cuz we were outnumbered. And what we brought ? Aurier for Alderweireld.

Imagine career-finished Vertonghen, responsible for 2 goals, played 90 minutes.

Unfortunately, Mourinho isn't good enough. Out!

We were losing these types of games by much higher scores under Poch even with the luxury of a full strength team. Where were you Jose out virgins calling for Poch’s head?

This season is a write-off. Jose has already said as much. Give him a pre season and a full strength squad and judge him from there. Anyone calling for his head now is, as I said, a raging virgin.

Don't mind a 'transition period' where things arent quite together and we play a bit shit but our games are such slogs to get through. Nothing to give any hope and belief that things will improve.

Never called go Pochettino’s head he just was never backed. Mourinho plays more tactically naive football than Dyche. He is a rich mans Pulis or Hodgson.

So as A&C predicted, we had almost everyone saying how good the lineup looked, and now that we lost everyone is saying how bad it is?

Simply put, we have to wait till next year, accept this season is done and let’s see how the summer goes!

Can I request half this lot today are never anywhere near a full strength team? I dislike so many of our players at the moment. Collectively they must be the most brain dead footballers in the division. No intelligence on field at all

Haha Jesus mate seriously! Rich mans Pulis? The current most successful manager in the world still in a job and he is a fraud according to you?

People will bang on about injuries but their is no excuse for the turgid football and performances we are producing game after game.

It's just embarrassing

The problem is though, we can’t write off the season. We need CL, I can’t face the europa league. It’s fucking shit. I’m wrong that and feeling fucking entitled at the same time.

No point bringing up stats from this season regarding poch. He'd already checked out after the cl final
What went on pre season was just icing on his disillusioned cake his method of football for the most part worked a charm.

This park the bus until they score stuff though is horrific

Season not a write off yet and its not great that the manager is giving up on it. We can still get 4th and are in two cups until we aren't.

Either he accepts that he is going to have to give one of the youth a go in a game up top or we're just going to be toothless for the rest of the games this season. Willing the ball into the back of the net just won't cut it.

Poor today. The whole game was poor.

We go again I suppose, but disappointed with that result.

I’m going to give him time, until next season. But I will be shocked if this workd

I’m already tired of him meaning. Everyone got angry at Poch for moaning but he had it worse. Jose saying we have no one on the bench, saying he wishes it was 1 July. Stop moaning we still have a lot to play for and if we keep playing like this we won’t get top 4 or even 5, not win the FA Cup and get knocked out by Leipzig in the CL


The CL is done. Leipzig are beatable and will get spanked in the next round, but we simply don’t look like we can prevail. Anyway, if we do turn it round we’ll get battered in the next round, guaranteed.

Top 4 is not happening. I think we’ll struggle to make top 6. If we get a lucky draw and the better sides go out in the Cup, we have a chance. Right now though I’d make us 4th/5th favourites for it

He actually just said in post match interview “very difficult to do better than we did today” :wideyed:

What’s happened to make some fans accept this as our new style? I honestly have no idea how any Spurs fan can look at our last 10 games and say they’re happy with how we set ourselves up

Good luck waiting for that to happen.

I know he's got us several points, but right now I feel ashamed of supporting this club. It's painful to see. And it's not the lack of striker. He just likes to play like this. He always has. He hasn't change like they're trying to sell us.
The Man City game was a fluke where we were lucky to save a penalty. What's going right now is what happens when you set up like this.
He's being paid twice what Poch earned for this utter shit. I could understand it against City as they have a lot of possesion, but with Leipzig and Chelsea is a disgrace. Not even a championship side sets up like this
I’m ashamed supporting this club too, it’s horrible being banded with the same group of people who are rejoicing in our poor displays as it means they can say ‘I told you so’.
