Jose Mourinho accused his Tottenham players of lacking mental strength for unravelling after a controversial VAR decision against them.

He's not wrong though, between that and the Norwood incident some of our players checked out again. So it's okay for us as a fan base to question them under multiple managers, yet Jose brings it up and it's an excuse?So, it was all somebody else's fault then. That's a surprise.

Some of you need to be more pragmatic.
Sorry.It was kind of a joke. Never mind.
The PLs implementation of VAR has practically killed my interest.
As soon as that “handball” Was given and we didn’t get the free kick I lost all interest.
I have found this season very difficult to enjoy, not just because we’ve been pretty ropey but every other team has been screwed at some point (ok not pool) and it just takes the enjoyment out of it.
Last night my sky app was about 30secs behind play and I got a text saying potential handball before Kane had scored.
As mentioned in the match thread I was bitterly disappointed not to see some fire and indignation from us. We just accepted it and rolled over. For a few yrs we looked like we cared and had players that would fight, now we look disinterested. Pathetic.
The mentality has never really recovered since before Poch left.There's always some kind of excuse isn't there? The team just isn't good enough.
The officiating was right actually - it's just a stupid rule. Football isn't like Rugby where 'advantage' is played and then play is brought back if no advantage occurs. In football, once advantage is played it's done deal whatever happens next. That could do with changing IMO.
I think we might have got over the disallowed goal, but as soon as the Norwood elbow decision went against us I knew we were losing.
How that wasn't even checked by VAR is one of the biggest jokes so far this season in any game, it pissed me off more than the disallowed goal. He literally glances at Son before leading with the elbow and making contact. That's a straight red any day of the week, let alone a second yellow.
But nah, plucky Sheffield United blah blah blah.
Doesn't matter if it's thrown. I always thought the expression was "leading with the elbow" which is exactly what he did.It would have been checked by VAR, but it wasn't a thrown elbow, so certainly was not a straight red card offence.
Should have been a second yellow though, which VAR cannot advise.
To be fair, we are a bunch of mental midgets which is why we could never get over the hump of a final.So, it was all somebody else's fault then. That's a surprise.
