Top 4 finish is a big success with the resource and wage bill in Spurs. That's why Pochettino is rated highly with the work he has done even without trophy. Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and even Arsenal have higher wage bill than Spurs. You may get lucky in cup competition to go further but in the league it is a lot harder.

No doubt Jose will claim it as his greatest achievement.

I like Mourinho deep down, and always will, but I also look forward to his inevitable demise at Tottenham. A smaller club, a challenging chairman and utter, utter dependency on one or two players - it will only end one way with this manager. Abruptly and badly, everyone else will cherish the moment.
Mourinho can say whatever he wants, but it takes very few searches to find comments and interviews from a man that behaves badly, with disrespect to millions of fans, saying things you can never say in public. His downfall and failure at Man Utd was down to him in the end, although he perhaps knew at the time he was not given the time, that he felt he was a dead man walking the last months. In my book he is a quitter, he was behaving this way only because he wanted to get the sack and then more money for not doing any work. In football management, there is nothing more shameful - and it will happen at Spurs as well.

Don't worry Jose, we'll hire you again at some point and unban @haram. You will be welcomed to post on RedCafe again.
Maybe he shouldn't have gone balls out to get sacked then?
Thought this is spot on! Any time Liverpool have any injured players it's injury crisis! But pretty much every top team in the league suffers those injuries, probably even more than them considering they had that period of basically two years without any injuries, but for some reason we only hear how it's them that have injury problems.
Still have time for him, he obviously knows his stuff, even if he over the course of his career has been unwilling to adapt.
So Mou's Spurs who badly lost their first game of the season, have been unbeaten for 11 games since.
He seems happy, highly motivated and has regained his spark and purpose.
His team are now highly invested in his vision and style of management, dare I say, willing to run through walls for him.
Game of the season so far vs Liverpool tonight: I can see him inspiring a dogged and resolute victory. (though a draw would be best for us)

I've put money on a 0-0 draw tonight.
The master of 11 men behind the ball will escape this one with a clean sheet as well.
I can see TAA and Robertson feeding Aldeweireld and Lloris with high crosses for 90 minutes like City, Chelsea and Arsenal did....

Let's be honest he's getting nowhere near the Poch peak of 87 points and 2nd in 16/17 season. This is with SON and Kane in amazing form and LLoris "best keeper in the league." So with it being Mourinho's second season these are best conditions compared to 12-18 months time.
Spurs are low 70s team so more like Spurs 18/19. They can win the league cup or europa though as they match up well to knock out football with how they're playing.

I absolutely hate his football. Can't stand it. Surely the players can't enjoy that?
What you got to say now eh punk! 
No manager can put an end to Spurs bottling it.
Its in their DNA.
Its in their DNA.
He’s way way wayyy too defensive to be title challenger. They just sit back & essentially wait for the opposition to score. They did the same at Palace too.
We had the better chances, you had one flukey goal and a good header at the end. A draw would have been a fair result. You are a great team and by far the favorites to win the title.What you got to say now eh punk!
Funny that they actually created more against Liverpool than against City. Same unwatchable shite of course, but... unlucky almost.
I've said it since he was here but it's a style that demands a major trophy a season to make it bearable.
His title challenges rest on two or three games a year. Get a result and the players buy-in further to the shit tactics and put up with him longer. Drop points and you risk the wheels coming off. Leicester match is big for them.
They had 3 golden chances in the 2nd half to be fair.
I think this was a better performance than the one they put in against Chelsea.
We played very well - second half we matched them totally and should have been 2 or 3 up but it wasn't to be.
They weren`t great to watch, and they rarely are, but honestly, considering its Anfield they did okay, most teams are scared to play there and surrender within 40 minutes, at least Spurs made it a game.
Almost the perfect display.
But this isn't the mid 2000s anymore I'm afraid Jose. You need more.

Good to hear him giving Klopp a touch in the post match interview about his pitch side shenanigans
It’s disgusting. A blight on the game. Been that way since Porto. I loathe it so much I can almost tolerate a last minute Liverpool winner, on the basis it was a victory for football.
To be clear, I said almost...
Table is insane. We're 12th yet take 7 points from the three spare games we now have and we'd be level on points with the tally Spurs have.
I know OGS tends to choke when he gets Man. United within touching distance of doing anything but really with the fixtures you have over next few weeks you should be above Spurs going into 2021.
Spurs in 7th or 8th by end of the year would put a bit of a different spin on things but I suspect they'll beat Leicester as Rodgers style tends to play into their hands. Wolves away will be much more difficult with their low block and pace on the counter.

That few seconds where you hoped Dier was lying on the floor because of some obviously goal ruling out foul....
If his players keep buying into this (with no toxicity) and he can get another two world class players maybe, I genuinely think he could win the big trophies with Spurs. It won't be pretty but I think he could do it. Spurs could have easily nicked that game in the second half and this is against the best team in the country by a fair distance.
Liverpool had 76% possession and 11 shots on target to your 2. It takes spectacular levels of delusion to watch that game and conclude that Spurs should have finished 2 or 3 up.
I thought he got blocked a bit. Surprised it wasn't at least debated in VAR booth.
I have to say. I thought Mourinho would change at United, and I was annoyed the club stopped backing him after season 2 (I still think it was fecking idiotic to appoint him only to then not back him for basically wanting to be Mourinho), but in hindsight....
feck me, so happy he’s not our manager. 24% possession? That’s just not football at the top level for anything other than a once in a bluemoon against a Barca 2011. To be a manager’s default against any top side is utterly horrific.

Not this season.
They had very very few clear cut chances. We had by FAR the better chances in the game. If you can't see that then frankly I just don't know what to say.
He is such a child, obnoxious human-being. I love him deep down, but now I remember why everyone also hate him. Making a fool of himself inself in front of the TV-cameras, now I hope his season goes to shit... because after getting sacked, he will never get a job in England again.
No it wouldn't. We were by far the better team in the first half you barely out of your own half. Jones had a chance with a better shot to make it 2-0 before your goal, Salah had couple of chances in each half, Mane should have scored but hit the bar 76% possession to your 24%, 17 shots 11 on target to your 8 and 2 on target and more corners. You only began to start playing out your half more at the start of the second half. I'd say you deserved your goal for the chances your had overall but not enough to win the game or draw.
Well we are never going to agree on this are we?
Hilarious.
