Yes he did, he's hardly going to come in and call them all shit is he?!Didn’t José say our squad was great and almost didn’t need new players back in November last year?

Could be if he’s shifting 2 of them?We have Holjberg, NDombele, Lo Celso, Sissoko, Alli (who can’t make the squad), Winks. We’re not signing another midfielder.
On top of Mourinho interrupting the Kane interview to say Kane was man of the match and Kane tweeting ‘You’re welcome’ to Sonny after the game it was starting to get a bit much. Maybe it’s a cultural thing but that was a real moment for Sonny to enjoy and there just seemed a little sadness in him. Kane’s performance didn’t detract from his, both should be lauded.I think what you see on tv could be taken out of context. They could have said aboutnit jokingly before hand and.you dont know what expression Jose was pulling off camera.
I will say it didnt look good but meh, nothing to see there I feel.
Yeah that's the issue, dorthey, peh, winks and Lucas, dier getting called out because theyre just decent.
Seems he needs 11 world class players on the pitch , when really he needs to make players perform above their limitations.
We'll see what happens come end of season, not confident though
Got it spot in again today, the team didn’t catch on until half time though. Southampton were seemingly on top but I said to my mate at half time the warning signs were there, disallowed goals, offsides. We just didn’t click until NDombele swivelled for our first. Suddenly we knew what we were meant to be doing.
What is this? He needs 11 World class players? Since when?
Don't believe in his system at all, but I do believe in the individual brilliance of our players - especially now the squad is fresh again. Mourinho needs to play to our strengths.
This half time post didn't age well... (I joke)Southampton have six shots on goal.
Spurs none.
It’s not over but lmao ... we have a more talented squad and are being outplayed.
To me with the Sonny interview interruption, we know that Jose gets into players heads, likes to keep them on their toes, and likes to foster competitiveness within the squad.
To me he does this stuff to try and keep players hungry and motivated.
I think the problem is our tactics change every game and are reactive. Right now whoever is in midfield seems slightly confused and primarily focussed on where they need to be when we don’t have the ball. Yesterday the plan appears to have been to play the ball in behind their FBs as quickly / directly as possible and led to our defenders totally bypassing midfield (aka Dier hoofing it out of play). It’s only when Kane re-interpreted the instructions and dropped between the lines to link play and be the creator that things clicked. This was helped by having Lamela and Lo Celso being more aggressive higher up the pitch than Ndombele and Moura had been.
But ultimately, the tactics are specific to opponents and reactive. And some players are being inhibited by them.
Mourinho Nov 2019: "“The best gift are the players who are here. I don’t need new players. I just need to get to know these ones better."
Summer window 2020 Spurs sign half a new team.
