He also does this thing where he chooses one young player and decides that he’s the man. He’s the youth team member that will serve as his response to those who says he doesn’t play kids. He’ll be happy to ignore the rest of ‘em because he’s chosen his boy. McTominay, who has since turned into a tidy player, was used for this - sometimes to his detriment (see the back three exercise). Tanganga looks like the Spurs choice, despite looking as green as they come.

He already made the excuses for this game during the week in the Champions League when asked about this fixture. He may have lost his touch, but he remains the master at one thing: managing expectations. Nobody better at it.
Read the Diego Torres book mate. It’s absolutely fascinating and very brutally shows him cracking during his time there. It was a massive event drawn out over months, and it changed him. It was traumatic and it ripped him of his confidence if the book is to be believed.
Jose is 150% the worst appointment for building anything, Spurs would be wise to begin the process of looking for a manager to come in during the summer who can improve the current players along with making additions in weakened areas.
Someone like a Marco Rose or even Tuchel (if he becomes availabe) they have the vision to imprint an identity into the starting 11 which will also reflect in the level of recruitment. The moment Mourinho starts dispensing resources is the moment Tottenham will build with a 'hole in the pocket' type scenario where it seems that something is always missing and is never enough.
He says getting fourth with Spurs will be his biggest accomplishment. Pochettino has done that even without Kane and Son our for a long time. So Pochettino must have already surpass Mourinho greatest accomplishments
Said it before but one huge sign of his decline is his record in big games now.
He used to be absolutely incredible in big games, we could never beat him, Arsenal never beat him, Liverpool needed "ghost goals" to sneak past his Chelsea etc.
His big game record now is fecking terrible, and the actual performances in those big games are even worse than the results. It's remarkable.

Fair enough. As you were then. You should have added that into the initial post.I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when he was appointed manager and the Spurs fans on here were generally buzzing to see Poch fired and Jose hired....fecking hell.
Have fun over the next 18 months.
As i said in my post above, he's still the master at managing expectations. He was constantly doing it at United.He says getting fourth with Spurs will be his biggest accomplishment.

It's very funny seeing Spurs fans on here making the same excuses that we were all making under Mourinho.
Spurs recruitment has been poor in recent years, and non existant for a long time, but they're deluded if they think Jose will sort things out with new transfers. The signing we made here under him were incredibly hit and miss.

I always thought it was a shocking appointment, but i thought he would sort them out big time in the short term. It's not quite going that way at the moment. That could change when Kane and Son come back though.

Winks, Ndombele, neither of those players start for any of the top four sides. Lo Celso, tbf looks like he will be the goods, but still too early to know. I think Bergwijn was brought in as a squad player? And now he is main striker? Has looked ok I guess? Alli out of form, Lucas is good but again, he is not a striker. Lamela injured more often than Kane.
Spurs have no one to blame but themselves. They even had an xfer window to bring in a striker. Clearly they had a little cash to spend, they bought Bergwyn. As to why they brought in a winger over a striker, who knows?
Spurs dont invest in players, they are a construction company nowadays, that is where the money goes. They have money to invest in new training facilities and pitches, new shopping mall, new lodge accommodation, new stadium.
Have to agree, was shocked Spurs even went for him. Be better just to get rid as soon as they can and write it off as a brain fart decision.

I fear for you mate. This is like being a recovered alcoholic watching a drinker in denial. You’ll hate everything about your club before he’s gone. Hopefully for you Levy is ruthless enough not to let it go on too long
This gives me familiar vibe, final phase is called haram.
From the outside it is really interesting (and insanely funny) to see the exact same pattern : The initial pride and happiness before the slow fall into anger and resentment for the man.
At least United came out of it with a few highlights and a Europa League. That contract must be full of booby traps that Levy won't want to trigger. He'll have to take the hit at some point and they will both come out of it losing which is hilarious.

Balaks, seriously i am not trying to pick on you, but find a thread when we hired Mourinho and read through and you will see the same stuff that you are now saying.
Its uncanny the similarity. Mourinho conned us and he has conned Levy.
You have to win either the PL or CL to justify what he will do.

He has had 3 months.
The Special One: The Dark Side of Jose Mourinho?
We had a different manager and he was doing worse than Jose is this season.
Yea thats what we said too.
Jesus H. Poch, Amy - conversations with you must go like this:
BLOKE: "Excuse me, mate, have you got the time please?"
YOU: "It's about time that Pochettino was given credit for his incredible achievements...and for saving Private Ryan."
BLOKE: "Er...I only needed the time..."
YOU: "So did Poch at Tottenham."
It seems like everything he does nowadays is to have a shot back at his critics or prove a point. It's all about his image and cult of personality.
It's why training ground managers have left him behind, because they're spending their energy things that actually matter. Which is getting the best out of the squad at their disposal.
I dont remember you lot slaughtering him after 3 months.
jose always need more money and more players.
it’s a mess. Any Utd or Chelsea fan could have told spurs that.
Jose still has a certain charm about him, but he’s far more suited to being a pundit.
fair play to him, he’s waiting to get sacked and pocket £20m.
what a shocking appointment by spurs, as bad as West Ham hiring Moyes.
It would be a good point, if you didn't play exactly as United did under him. That's the worrying part.
I'd say they were very much miss for the most part.
The only ones I'd label a success out of the hundreds of millions spent were Zlatan, Fred and probably Matic. Zlatan was free, José wouldn't even play Fred, and Matic divides opinion.
I like Pogba but you can't call his time here a success.
Spurs fans hoping him getting money to spend will change things for the better may be in for a surprise.
Parrott? Mourinho said last month that he "wasn't ready at all".
That was before they played Norwich and they've had eight games since then. He was an unused sub in the FA Cup replay against Southampton but other than that he's been nowhere near the team.
There's also been a video floating around allegedly of him doing something pretty bad while he was on international duty.
Did you not come second and win a european trophy? Sorry did I just dream that?
That’s the one! Events may have been exaggerated but you can tell that tensions were high and he was under unbelievable pressure. There are so crazy stories in it that I would love to believe.
I didn't know he was a pornographer
The writing was on the wall. We were terrible in the semi final at home against Celta Vigo. That swedish striker then missed an open goal right at the death.
Ah ok so you went out in the semi's then. Sorry I thought he won you a trophy.
We were woeful and De Gea had an historic season. That's why a lot of us new that the minute De Gea went back to a normal level we were doomed.
We rode our luck a fair bit and De Gea was in great shape.
This is just childish resorting to sarcasm.
So it's not even acceptable to say that Jose was actually fairly successful in here? Was he not your most successful manager since Ferguson? Forgive me but from listening to you lot slaughter him from day one at Spurs you would think he got you relegated.
That's all fair yeah you're right.
Fred looks good now but Jose refused to play him so I don't think we can chalk that success up to him. Zlatan was good, I wouldn't class Matic a success although he's been pretty good the last month.
