Jose Mourinho

[Albertbarich]

Was looking at the squad of the relegated teams, we could really do with some of their players

Docoure, Forster
Brooks, Cantwell
Ake, Godfrey,

Going to get slaughtered for this but I can really see troy deeney being an effective mourinho buy.

He would be a big character in the dressing room, take no shit, come on hold the ball up and wind up the opposition. A perfect mourinho lieutenant.

Mad how well Wolves and Sheffield have played this season and we've still finished above them. A good base to build from now.

I thought this too but wasn't brave enough to post it, lol.

Big character yes, but he only scores penalties these days. Completely ineffective in play.

If we go for a relegated striker we have to look at Josh King if we want a versatile forward or Callum Wilson if we want a poacher. I'd take King no problem but that's probably my nationality speaking.

Id go for King but in terms of what mourinho wants he wod be a great fit.

He isnt a great player but he can be an effective player.

Deeney would give us some attitude
Another good one would be Sarr

Agreed. Poor display but this has to be countered with the fact that I highly doubt that Winks and Sissoko are Jose’s first choice midfield pair to be honest. Neither would either of Aurier and Davies be. Surely people must recognise this (I say in vain).

Yeah, that second half performance from Sissoko was emblematic of our season - we have a bunch of squad players in our first XI ... We know where this leads us, but this isn't the thread.

We need to improve in areas and we have an elephant in the room to deal with as well.

Pressures now lay at another persons door - Mourinho has done his job for now.

 

[Metalhead]

If he gets the whole of next season he'll be coming up to the average tenure for a manager these days. He will be judged by then and before then whether it's 'fair' or not. But we've been much improved recently and I'm optimistic we'll have no reason to question his position!

It’s all a moot point anyway. Daniel Levy is the judge.

Deserves plenty of credit to finish 6th when we were languishing in 14th, or whatever, when he took over.

I think we'll finish 3/4th next season under him.

Same old people never give any credit and then come out of the woodwork if we struggle a little or don't get the result, always ignoring where we've improved or done well.

Like fucking clockwork.

I really can’t see it especially with the players we’ve been linked with so far. It’s real quality we need not just numbers. I’m hoping he’ll integrate Ndombele or at least commit one way or the other with him. Counter attacking football can be effective but you also need to be able to control possession and territory in periods of the game, were so far off that.

I think the concerns are valid, only a few games ago after Bournemouth it seemed the majority wanted him out or at least didn’t see a way forward with him. It’s the wild swings in opinion that aren’t great. The same issues at Bournemouth we’re in evidence today. In the last few games going by our xg we’ve been very clinical with the chances we have made and the opposition have been profligate with theirs. we need to do some serious business over the summer.

Jose was reputedly on a £2 mill bonus to get us CL football. Dunno how much the EL would get him ?

Probably £0

Credit where due finishing 6th. Decent job from Jose when he took over, I don't think anyone else could expect more. Getting us stable from where we were was a job in itself. However I was still hoping we could get top4, we definitely had the chances but bottled it in the end.

I don't like Jose and never will. The football he's playing is dreadful. I personally can't stand watching it, I want to be entertained simple as that, and when the next season comes I won't cancel all my plans just to watch Spurs like I used to.

The corona break taught me something is more important than football, and to spend so many hours ever week not getting what I want out of it it's simply not worth it for me.

Since 1989 I have supported and been attached maybe way to much to Spurs, and I always will, but when Jose is here I will probably just step down a bit..

 

[chrissivad]

Got a lot of work to do before the start of the next season.

Unfortunately it's rebuilding the spin of the team...

 

[Fittster]

3 more seasons of this entertainment.

 

[RikkiRocket]

Just a thought. Don’t we need to pay the government a fair amount back before we go on a transfer spree?

 

[HedgieSpur]

Ah I see the folk who went missing when we won have reappeared - 1-1 draw, with an hours worth of poor football, and they're back ... Some of you are literally here to only moan - shame you couldn't enjoy the games we won ...

14 from 18 ... European football achieved - Europa League isn't ideal, I 'd agree - but we're in Europe - wonder about some who post on here lately.

I don't see it that way. The football we have served up today against a side that has lost their last 7 matches was garbage (Kane's excellently taken goal aside). Ive got no issue with fans calling that out and wanting improvement on this next season. However, as I said earlier, Jose deserves significant kudos for getting us to EL, especially because he inherited an absolute clusterfuck.

What have you seen since he's come in that makes you believe we will overtake one of Chelsea or Utd?

Not sure of spin was a typo or not lol.

Like I said, not a peep when we win though - do you only moan when we lose? I haven't denied we played poorly either - but those on here right now giving it plenty couldn't even enjoy us beating Arsenal ... Makes you wonder.

We were 7 points off. We didn't bottle it in the slightest. We'd only dropped 9 points from the restart - we'd have needed 8 wins and a draw from 9 games to pull it off! We were just way, way too far by the time Poch got sacked for it to be realistic - while we occasionally pulled close-ish other teams were inevitably going to have good runs of forms themselves.
