"he won the tactical battle"
Give me a break. This is just a phrase that people spew out without actually thinking what the hell they're saying.

We had an XG of 1.7 meanwhile Spurs had 0.5
Winning the tactical bottle is a load of bollocks. He got lucky De Gea chucked it into his own net and Lloris pulled off a worldie save vs Martial.

Wow. All these posts look very familiar. Pretty sure you could find the equivalents here.
This. Just reading them spurs comments brought back my anxiety I used to feel going into games under him. Thank god he's gone.
Mourinho is as your manager is such a painful experience
I clearly recognized that Tottenham's team last night, it felt strange.
It was like Jose's United vs this United.

No one in here really dislike his honesty and personality. If that alone will make you happy and be positive then so be it but I don't see where in that aspect he winds us up so much. I personally enjoying his personality because it's an entertaining to watch him talking & react. However, let's be real, looking at the fixtures, if anything who needs the 3 points more is Spurs yesterday. We have much easier remaining fixtures to get 3 points than both Spurs & Chelsea. May be you shouldn't be too excited with it after yesterday match.
The thing is, Jose's honesty is never actually honesty. His brand of 'honesty' is designed to direct the blame for bad results at anyone but him. The board, the players etc.
That's defo one big issue that Spurs fans haven't realised yet. I hate manager who prefers to blame his players & board instead of taking responsibility as a team. One aspect that I don't like about Jose and also Conte in his final season with Chelsea.
This is so true. What he's attempting to convey when he speaks is so glaringly obvious, that I'm surprised there are people who still can't see through it. Just one massive self-preservation exercise that reeks of insecurity.
Yep. I dont even think they set up tp play the way they did last night. Their lack of legs in pressing pushed them back and our new found abilitiy to be largely press resistent in midfield helped as well
My thought exactly when listening to Jose after the match last night. First, he said he was happy with some things, and unhappy with other things. It turned out he was happy with everything he did (the game plan, how he read the game), and unhappy with the ref.
Ahh, it seems they’ve reached the first stage of the mourinho cycle!
next up is boredom, followed by rage and then finally denial.
I cannot wait to see his meltdown when levy gives him zero cash again this summer.
Worth pointing out how Spurs were physically gone after 60 mins. It was a big issue at Utd how lacking the squad was in pure fitness under Mourinho. Kane was busted by HT but for some reason lasted the 90.
He’s already been at it this week. Subtle hints in the press that they can’t do what other clubs can in the transfer market. He then listed players on our bench (Mata, Matic, Pogba, Greenwood) and suggested that the options they had (Alderweireld and Vertonghen) were only defensive ones. Now even if there is an element of accuracy to what he is saying, the deflection and, ultimately, excuses are all rehearsed in a way that absolves him of responsibility. He used to list the quality of our opposition players all the time. It’s the same shit, different club. Thankfully, it isn’t us.
Yep. I've genuinely never heard him say "sorry lads, my fault today! better next week" some humility would go a long way.
What makes it even more sad is if you compare to Jorge Jesus who is 11 years older and uses GPS and drones for training analysis.

Nothing changed then. He is back to defending himself by giving everyone a history lesson.
Drogba averaged 46 goals per season under Jose
Whatever he is smoking, he should quit that.
He’s actually lost it.
Anthony Martial who could have scored two goals and put his team to bed. So glad Jose isn't our manager anymore, absolute delusional cretin.
Yes that sounded strange. He clearly is so obsessed with his past achievements that he says werid stuff.Drogba averaged 46 goals per season under Jose

If Jose grew a goatee he'd be Wayne Lineker.
If only Drogba did average 46 goals a season, he'd have been one of the best of all time given what else he brought to the table.
I don't get why Jose brings his record up as a response to criticism, no one doubts his history as a manager, would be like R9 bringing up his Barca times and world cup record in response to struggling at Milan in his twilight years.

Chelsea and math weren't a good combo under Mourinho. Just ask Essien.
Up there with the facts rant.
He just talks utter shit constantly.
Damn, all those memories coming back make me feel sorry for Spurs fans (shivers)
Why is he even speaking about Martial? If it wasn't for a very good save from Lloris he would've been on the scoresheet.
Kane (and this isn't a criticism of him as such) was completely anonymous.

The amount of goals that he had mentioned was literally the amount of games Drogba had played for him, so he had just looked at the wrong column. It should've looked at least slightly suspicious for him though when he did the math
The only way he can win titles again is to join a squad that is ready to embrace his style, mainly a squad that has few years left to leave their mark on football. Here at Manchester his message could never get across because he had a lot of young players with long careers ahead and with many titles on their CV's, not some U21 blokes who never achieved anything at senior footbal or some 27+ players

Why would you say that a player playing under you wasn't your first choice ffs!
The man was renown for his meticulous mind but now he is the equivalent of a Redcafe regular, in terms of football understanding and use of stats.The amount of goals that he had mentioned was literally the amount of games Drogba had played for him, so he had just looked at the wrong column. It should've looked at least slightly suspicious for him though when he did the math
Yeah 46 goals on average in Jose team, maybe it looked suspicious when he said it but he just went ahead instead of correcting himself.The amount of goals that he had mentioned was literally the amount of games Drogba had played for him, so he had just looked at the wrong column.

Boiling up quite nicely at Tottenham - he won't last his usual 3 years there.
Was such a strange appointment. This is a guy who has generally needed to be at the biggest or richest club in the league to succeed. He goes to a team who don't like spending much, and whose team are at the end of their cycle. Plus he looked utterly shot away by the end of his time here and yesterday's man strategy wise.
Still - it'll be enjoyable watching it unfold from afar this time.

The only way he can win a league title is if he joins PSG or bayern. Cannot see him doing that in a competitive league. More than his tactics and style.of football I feel it is his demeanor that has completely changed in last 4 to 5 years. It's like the scars from the chelsea season has not gone. Everytime he speaks as a manager he is trying to prove others wrong and teaching history of how he once achieved so much.
I would say considering no big club will go near him it was a smart choice by Jose. He loves the underdog mentality where pressure will be less and spurs are a perfect club. Even if he wins a league cup he would be consider himself as a genius who helped spurs win a trophy. No one expects him to win the title or even challenge for it. And even if he misses top 4 for a season he will find a way to make excuses and most of the spurs fans will buy him.
Live in london, managing a decent side, less pressure. I would say Jose made a smart move (unless newscastle really start spending crazy)
