Jose Mourinho

[shelfboy68]

He simply can't do it anymore.

I've watched us play for a long time and I can't remember us being this joyless and un-entertaining as this.

It was grim under AVB

Just putting it out there

Bring back the gilet.

Those who shout loudest tonight is it?

Same ones shouting at the end when Pochs team couldn't hit the side of a barn door?

Carry on.

I understand what you are saying but we didn't sack Poch to just carry on with more of the same old shit.

I know many will say that's it's on the players and I think there is a grain of truth to that but the manager is meant to imporve the group collectively and that's just not happening at the moment.

To not have a shot on target and just keep plugging away with the same system was pretty poor tonight. Get the ball to Serge, he crosses, it hits the defender - rinse and repeat. At some point the manager has to realise this isn't working and try something else.

I do not think that Jose has improved us and that is what he was brought in to do.

Mourinho hasn't set up the team in such a way that puts the players in a position to succeed, there is no sign of a plan/structure/identity.

I look around the league and think that a number of managers would get a much better tune from this squad.

This club is broken but despite the hyperbolic statements, we don't have a shit squad, unbalanced yes but far from awful.

The players will never get the amount of criticism that they deserve because the buck stops with the manager, however they've been going through the motions for two years. They stopped playing for Poch long before he was fired and they haven't even started playing for Mourinho and the seasons almost over.

Zidane took a break from football and returned as a better/flexible manager, based on his time here I fail to see what Mourinho's learnt during his break from football.

I think we need a new manager/approach and I hope Levy has reasonable clauses in the contract.

Indeed it was, but this is worse, considering the squad Morinho has available.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

We can give him £100m, we can give him £200m, this isn’t getting magically better next season. I certainly won’t be watching this awful excuse for football if it carries on into next season. It’s almost unwatchable. Mourinho at Spurs is a failed experiment. Levy has to carry the can for it. My patience is wearing thin.

You're probably right.

Sack him.

We're not attracting anyone of the calibre of the names floated around in here though - you don't cut off the head of a dying rose if the problem is at the root.

AVB - All Very Boring
JM - Just Mind-numbing

I cannot see the point in sacking him at the moment, might as well give him the last few games of the season and pray for a miracle.

 

[Bobbins]

I'm honestly surprised he 1, came to Spurs and 2, is hanging around. I'd honestly have thought he'd want to maintain his career success record - going to Spurs is never going to do that for you.

Win percentages down, going to be the only club he never wins a trophy with. I think he'll look back on his time here as the biggest mistake of his career.

Bus-Conductor in.

What I would give to hear his thoughts on this fucking horlicks right now!

 

[DiVaio]

4,76 shots on target averaged under Poch in whole competition
4,08 shots on target averaged under Mou

5,41 shots on target against averaged under Poch in whole competition
4,32 shots on target against averaged under Mou

 

[felmani26]

At least @scat1620 has the right idea staying clear

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

I would hope your right but I bet his contract will have a mega early brake clause. Also, who the fuck we gonna get mid season. We will be in the same situation as when potch left. Unless we go bargin bin.

We got Poch during a season didnt we?

Dont think bargain bin means shit necessarily.

That would be brilliant! I miss the guy (sometimes)

 

[cjbyid]

I reckon he's done at club level once he leaves us.

Why? Why prolong this? People want to unload on the bloke, go for it. Players did for Poch along with some of his latter day tactics and the exact same thing is happening to Jose - but in both cases it's being seen as the managers fault.

It's like the mid 90's all the way through to the mid 2000's in here tonight only difference is, i'm not sat in the pub hearing the same gripes I'm on the internet reading it.
