And how long have fans been saying that (reinvent) ?His tactics and style are done at this level. Unless he can reinvent himself then he’s done with top clubs

Wow. All these posts look very familiar. Pretty sure you could find the equivalents here.Spurs fans react:
There are a few positive posts about Mourinho but the sentiment seems to be that hiring him was a mistake.
Always going to be tough to find someone to do a comparable job at prick when Dele Alli is suspended tbf
This. Just reading them spurs comments brought back my anxiety I used to feel going into games under him. Thank god he's gone.His tactics and style are done at this level. Unless he can reinvent himself then he’s done with top clubs
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.I like his honesty and jus overall personality. He says it how he sees it and i respect that. Ive always liked him though because i think he is a cheeky fecker and he makes me laugh.
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.No one in here really dislike his honesty and personality.

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.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.
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.The thing is, Jose's honesty is never actually honesty.

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 wellThis is so true.

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.The thing is, Jose's honesty is never actually honesty.

Ahh, it seems they’ve reached the first stage of the mourinho cycle!Spurs fans react:

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.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.
Yep. I've genuinely never heard him say "sorry lads, my fault today! better next week" some humility would go a long way.He’s already been at it this week.

A disinclination for high pressing would certainly explain his apathy towards GPS tracking. Some Spurs staff were taken aback at discovering Mourinho had not before allowed GPS systems until being appointed by Daniel Levy. Given Tottenham have one of the largest analysis departments in the country, it would have been faintly ridiculous had his aversion to the technology continued at White Hart Lane.
Mourinho prohibited the use of GPS when in charge at United — although coaches at under-23 level and down were allowed — because his training approach, and that of influential assistant Rui Faria, owed more to intuition from experience than being governed by data.

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.
Drogba averaged 46 goals per season under JoseTweet

Nothing changed then. He is back to defending himself by giving everyone a history lesson.
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.Tweet

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
Whatever he is smoking, he should quit that.

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 mathYes that sounded strange. He clearly is so obsessed with his past achievements that he says werid stuff.
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.

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.

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.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
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.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.
