So kind of Jose to cover the asian handicap for us.
Jose Mourinho | Spurs manager
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Ah Ole out?
Just a tad
Seen some less impressive ones very recently
He has 2 attacking assistant manager and Spurs werent sitting back but pressing. Kind of surprising
Jose knows how to win. You might not get pretty football, but he knows how to set his team up to win.
Phew. Thanks Jose for making sure we won't be meeting Spurs in the UEFA league any time soon. *trembles*
2-0 down under Pochetino Spurs would at best get a draw out of that game.
Who’s your pick?
Don't Spurs expect to win at home against Olympiakos these days? They don't travel well.
Blatant "I watched the stats not the game" post
Heh, I saw the whole game as I had a bet on Spurs to score 4. Still don't know how they did it.
It’s more the the fact 0-2 nil down and winning by 2. You know no game in the CL is a given.
How did you only could 4 chances then? Son had a huge chance to score from an open goal late on, and their keeper had a good save in the first 20 mins or so where he saved one low from out wide (Kane nearly got a head on it), plus Eriksen's free kick to name but a few others.
No I get that. Just don't think it's that much to shout about. Similar issues to those at West Ham.
So far he has got Aurier looking like a really good player which I'd thought impossible.
Should CIty not stuff Shacktar at home? It’s football. Our issues at West Ham, were set pieces and defensive and they are a boggy team for us.
His problems are definitely mentally not really technically.
Yeah, a great Jose player IMO. Good defenders will always thrive under Jose, it’s usually the attackers who struggle. I think this may be a good match given your attacking assets
Apparently changed his backroom staff around. I think he will still mostly look to play the pragmatic Jose style with fast transitional play. But with the offensive backroom staff he may bring in some pressing in certain scenarios.
Surprised he didn't really rotate the squad for this game.
Yep, everything looks peachy.
That's what makes that train that heats you about year and a half in so hard to take.

Its kinda funny that jose left united to go on, to manage Tottenham and play them in the Champions league.
Jose is a great manager. However, he literally gave up on United (Woodward) and started sabotaging the team with his weird line-ups and sullen attitude. So no regrets that he had to go.
Good start for him so far. Two fairly easy games though. Still we know that Jose normally starts well in teams. It is when things go against him in the future that the problems starts with him fighting with players and the board.
so in a years time , if he gets Spurs challenging for premier, what would the cafes opinion be, as to why he din't do it here?
Got to say thank feck we didn't sign Dier for £50m.
2:0 down. If this were United, if he were still manager of United, they wouldn't have came back and won. But with Kane, Son, Eriksen, Moura.... F*k he might win this seasons CL.
Yiu can say what you want about him, but he still won a European trophy at United. Would be crazy if he just walks into Sputs and wins a CL right away. Poch couldn't do that in 5 years with these players.

I don't think the sabotage was intentional, and I'm not even a JM supporter / fan. I do think he was trying to create solutions for problems who couldn't be solved on the short term, and ended up melting down.
I can see Jose focusing entirely on an upset CL victory over the league. He has the attacking firepower but he'll fall short ultimately.
I very much doubt he will have Spurs challenging for the league unless the current standard of City and Liverpool drops. Spurs are not a 90+points team based on the players they have or the level of investment they are willing to commit to.
The word Maureen didn't get mentioned a lot for some reason.
That's quite nice actually. He praised the ball boy in the post match conference as well.
Does it mean Pochettino is shit then? And where does that leave the Poch fanboys?
That ball boy incident just reminded me of when Jose threw the whole crate of water bottles. F-ing oddball.
I’m not surprised how’s he’s done so far but the games have been kind and I’m looking forward to the match at OT and I am sure our players will be bang up for this one.
Also, people saying we wouldn’t have come back from 2-0 down like Spurs did last night...we did it a few times under Jose.

All smiles and happiness now innit. He'll be gone by next Christmas, I'm certain of it. He'll finish top 4-5 and Levy will tighten the purse.
He could potentially do very well there. I think we were the weakest team he ever managed. That's if he doesn't implode of course.
I think he will be there a bit longer. But I see what you are getting at, Jose is not a long term manager. But then nowadays, who is?
