True, I mean jose let's us know this a lotJust remember that when it works, it's Jose's genius. When it doesn't, it's the players fault.

Ah, plenty of posters do the same for our manager. Guess it’s just a natural way for some to defend someone they believe in.Just remember that when it works, it's Jose's genius. When it doesn't, it's the players fault.
Agreed, Jose it just living off his (admittedly stellar) resume at this point in his managerial career. It's really hard to watch Spurs now, even when they grind out a one-goal win.Ah, plenty of posters do the same for our manager.

Personally think it’s a real shame with Jose, I really enjoyed his Porto side and his first Chelsea side was absolutely terrific, brilliant to watch. Now he’s just becoming a parody of himself, since leaving Madrid it doesn’t matter who he has in his team, it’s a default defensive approach. Doubt he’ll ever rediscover the side of him from the mid 00’s again.
The game in hand thing is not a forgone conclusion, you cannot just award every team with games in hand maximum points. The table from Southampton in 9th to Leicester in 2nd is 4 points. I think any team that can put on a run of a couple of wins can easily climb into 2nd or 3rd, even Jose's Spurs. So they are in the mix, which is where you expect them to be.They are close to 4th place but if we are talking about league position then it's not really proper position. They are level on points with City, City have game in hand. They are just a point above Villa, Villa have 2 games in hand.
If we go by points per game, they would be around 7th or 8th.
We're playing Man. City in one of our spare games so at least one of us will certainly be getting points from that!The game in hand thing is not a forgone conclusion, you cannot just award every team with games in hand maximum points.

They are in the mix but they are worse than their league position.

Now and few years ago aint the same, only thing he saw is a chance to use a young player as a tool, would understand if didnt have a single CB and we playing back 4 but that motherfecker actually used McT in back 5.Didn't he play McTominay in defence? As he is now playing for Scotland? Never thought Scott was good as a defender but Jose must have seen something. He is a toxic manager. Probably the most toxic manager certainly in the PL.
I'll be honest, aside from your 'tired of life frog' comment, I'm not seeing any at allLot of unnecessary nasty personal comments about Mourinho in this thread.

Anyone noticed his eyes are starting to get bulbous like Nathan's out of The Office. Looking more and more like a tired of life frog.

When you create less than Arsenal, you are in trouble.Has this been posted yet? I know you can and should take xG with a pinch of salt, but this is insane

I saw that on the xG philosophy Twitter page. Shocking.Has this been posted yet? I know you can and should take xG with a pinch of salt, but this is insane
Thought their Leicester performance was worse. At home 2-0 down and still not overly adventurous. There is a time to be defensive and a time to throw a bit of caution to the wind and press hard, look to dominate possession and attack. At two nil down probably time to get that adventurous play happening.Their performances against Burnley, Palace and West Brom were shocking and rightly were scrutinised.
Just call Thanos.Thought their Leicester performance was worse. At home 2-0 down and still not overly adventurous.

Guess it was the same under Pochettino but the flip side of the coin, constant aggression, press from the front play out from the back look to dominate possession. And still get beat 2 or 3 nil away by Liverpool and City.
Surely there is a balance in there somewhere.
What did he say ?Another dig at Bruno today, what’s with his obsession there

A very bizarre rant about how Son has scored 100 without needing pens.What did he say?

Yikes, that is so cringe! How obsessed and bitter can he be. He had to clarify Kane because he scores a shed load of penalties too. Ironic how he brought up penalties after a match where is team open the scoring with a penalty!Tweet

Like how he had to clarify he wasn't talking about Kane!
Christ. He might as well have gone the whole hog and just called him Penandes.Tweet

Just looked it up. Bruno, as a midfielder, has 1 more goal than the best striker in the world Kane and 1 less than Son.Yikes, that is so cringe! How obsessed and bitter can he be.

Needed that mouthy BT interviewer who goaded Klopp a few weeks back involved"How can you criticize a midfielder for scoring pens when your own striker boosts his stats with pens, including in the very game he is being interviewed about?
You can’t just say you’re not talking about someone in particular, and make out like the stat doesn’t apply to them just because you said it!
You need to point your hand whilst you say that.Some people score lots of pens, some people claim goals that aren't theirs. I'm talking about Harry Kane by the way.
