Yes, but it’s the fact that we played so badly at home that winds fans up. Losing 1-0 to any side isn’t that bad on paper, but if you go all season thinking that’s OK, we won’t win shit.

Blaming players nice sound bites but not good to do in public yet typical publicity seeking from the manager
Perhaps the lazy attitude in setting up the team; planning tactics and using subs to make a difference would have been as apt

Saw the interview and now read the quotes. He certainly didn’t blast the players.
He gave a calm analysis of a poor performance.

Did he give analysis on his poor performance. He is a joke he was broke long before he got to Spurs.
He also didn't call the players "lazy" and explicitly corrected the SKY interviewer when he picked Mourinho's comments up in that way. He said we were guilty of lazy pressure. I've seen this sort of headline a couple of places...it's almost like it's lazy journalism.
FWIW, Mourinho was spot on in everything he said yesterday. I don't think he really threw anyone under the bus. He just gave an honest appraisal of a very poor and very disappointing performance.
Absolutely agree with you 100%. I only ever watch the whole pre and post match press conferences on youtube, rather than read any slanted agenda driven reports via other media. Then and only then can you get the truth (although no doubt some people will still get the wrong end of the stick!).

Being fair and impartial, I like that Jose is here. The lack of fans at the grounds has rendered most if not all matches as boring and uninteresting. I find myself getting distracted when watching on the telly which didn't happen before. I didn't see this game, but the quality, urgentcy and pace, as well as passion is lacking or non exaistant with the fans absent.

How do you know? I get that a lot of fans don’t like him and want him gone but people are creating their own back story to suit their opinions.

Imagine the reaction if he hadn’t brought him on.

I thought we pressed well in the first half and though Everton had the lion of possession, we had the better chances. I thought we looked solid enough in regards to restricting them. 2nd half we we're poor and the pressing had dropped off. JM seemed to have no answers though.

I think this is the wrong choice of words - lazy. Sluggish is more appropriate. Unfit simply speaking.
