Disagree. Imagine if your boss told you that you aren’t working hard enough at the job and you laughed.
Somebody who is driven and wanting to improve would ask questions about what they can do better, take the situation seriously and push on.
My boss probably wouldn't call me a **** though (or ask me to be one, for that matter).
Mourinho knows Dele's personality and crafted his challenge to him based on that personality. His jokey style didn't transfer to Aurier, for example. From what Mourinho suggested at the start, he was happy with Alli's responses to the pokes.
