Much as I love JJ, that isn’t an analysis - it’s just his snapshot of where we currently are.'I'll save judgement on Mourinho until summer'
Tottenham lack a system and identity under Jose Mourinho but he needs to have the summer before he can be properly judged, writes Jermaine Jenas.www.bbc.co.uk
pretty hard to disagree with the majority if not all of what jenas has said
He doesn’t ask why these problems exist in any real way. He does mention some underlying issues, such as injuries to Kane and Son and our possibly less than stellar performance in the transfer market.
But he doesn’t really delve too deeply into what’s going on. If you asked me why there are the problems he mentions, I could point to a number of possibilities that could explain some of the things he’s complaining about.
I’m not saying these are definitely the issues, but what if Mourinho is still chopping and changing because he wants to see how his squad work in different systems; perhaps he’s chopping and changing because there are fitness issues, which can’t be solved partway through a season; maybe he’s holding off on establishing a baseline system in the absence of Son and Kane because it won’t work without them.
Again, not saying these are the issues - just that there might be factors of that nature in play and that questions around identity and all that jazz is premature at this point.
