I suppose if he didn’t want to answer questions, walking away from the interviewer is more effective than walking towards them
Jose Mourinho | Spurs manager

Exactly! Almost past the point of even fixing!Think he means a further 3 years back, on top of the initial 3 years. Imagine having Willian and Perisic in the side
It was more the manner he walked away. Almost pushing the reporter out of the way. They are obliged to answer prematch questions, but when he’s in one of his moods, the toys get thrown firmly out of the pram.
Amen to that
Worrying for Spurs how rapid he’s jumped to meltdown mode. He’s usually done in year 3, seems like he’s done here in 3 months. All that’s needed now is the usual sulk after the summer window before going against everyone in the squad early next season.
Edit: losing again.

Time to rename it sackwatch
I hated him at Chelsea. I hated him at Madrid. I came to loathe him at United.But I have to say, I am really starting to appreciate the job he is doing at Spurs
Burnley having 7 shots in 15 minutes. All down to Kane and Son’s injuries, right ?
?The thought that we actually gave this guy a job and then a contract extension is truly terrifying.
Four cbs in a back five.
Spurs TBF is a busted flush of a club. Poch squeezed every last drop of that squad. Several players needed to move.
That lineup reminds me of the one he put out for us against West Ham away and lost 3-0, which included McTominay at centre half (with 1 or 2 actual CBs on the bench). The rattle is already well and truly out of the pram.
If he was a horse...

Are spurs going to even attempt to get back into this or are they ready to call it a day and go home now
He has fullbacks and forwards on the bench though. Bizarre lineup
Christ, is there anything more bloody tiresome & sack-worthy than managers 'sending messages' to their employers by fielding ballboys as goalkeepers, mascots as strikers etc etc?
He has lost the plot. It's time he became a full time pundit.
Its just obvious now that all he cares about is getting big fat payouts.
@Spurs fans
The majority of you were quick to blame Poch for Spurs' poor form over the last year or so, but Mourinho has done no better - arguably worse even.
How do you feel now, does Jose's failure absolve Poch or do you think the former still needs time?

Burnley really need to get a second here. They
They're in so much control of this game and they need to put it to bed.

Jose decided to skip the foreplay and go into 3rd season meltdown inside 3 months.
The break seem to have messed with them fully. They won twice before it. Now 4 straight defeats really.
Not a Spurs fan and don’t want to imply that Jose’s doing a good job there, but he‘s still picking up more points per game than Poch this season. So technically they’re still better off with him than Poch.
Some managers (Mourinho in particular) overrate their value. Most smart clubs have realised, on average a manager is worthless and the most dispensable part of the set up. One of the reasons Mourinho struggles is, because he just doesn't know his place in modern football.
Remember when Moyes insisted on 1054 crosses in one game to prove Valencia can't cross without telling him directly? That's some good player management.
It's debatable as to which manager performed the better of the two, but that's not the point.
Spurs are no better under Jose than they were under Poch - I think we'd both agree there - so for me that points to a problem that extends beyond the manager and players too. That being Levy's refusal to invest in the squad when his club had cemented itself in the top four, choosing instead to focus on a new stadium, the NFL and the hotly debated cheese room.
Their form has been better than Poch. It's just Jose's style is so joyless it can make even a performing team look underwhelming. The awful football is a huge cap on what fans perceive the team's ceiling to be
Guess this was the game he told Levy and the board that this was one of the two games he couldn’t prepare for. Expecting a masterclass against Leipzig now.
Burnley - Burnley - had 21 shots
They were much improved in the 2nd half but they still didn't create anything from open play really and if not for an idiotic foul by Ben Mee they didn't look like scoring.
Burnley really could have been 2 or 3 up by half time if they finished better.
They still look a team in real trouble.

....few months later
Based on my opinion of Mourinho, he’s actually doing better than I thought he would.

The many faces of Jose Mourinho.
Spurs fans will see them all before their sentence is complete.
Is he going to get any of his injured attacking players back soon? Otherwise I can only see them slipping down the table
Pochettinos last 21 matches in charge of Spurs in the League was 5 wins, 5 Draws and 11 defeats. Mourinho has done a lot better than that.
Basically throwing N'Dombele under the bus in is post match interview.
Tiresome and, at this point, totally transparent. Once he goes into self-preservation mode it's all so predictable.
He's been washed up ever since Wenger put hands on him
