Mourinho on Parrott's cameo vs Norwich

[Hoddle&Waddle]

I'm quite sure that he knows mate.

Shit man management.

Shit man management.

Yep, no doubt victimisation of players?

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Maybe if Jose hd taken the shackles off before 80 mins we wouldn't have even had to bring him on. But it was his usual sit back football. At home against the team at the bottom of the league that for me is unforgivable.

Oh and digging a kid out to point prove is childish. In fact his whole "oh the team is so tired they were dying out there" is pathetic. Don't see Numo coming out with that crap and they've played loads more games than us. Before our eyes the ManU Jose is coming out already. Just 3 months in and it's gone to shit.

Guy is a hypocrite. He is doing exactly what he accuses Jose of. If it's turning toxic its fans revealing themselves rather than Jose causing it.

This guy is a prick.

Paul Hawksbee? If anything he’s one of the most restrained Spurs fans in the media. Definitely a voice of reason on Talksport. Actually surprised he went as far as to say this.

 

[VegasII]

Even Kane had to go and serve his time in the lower leagues...

He had some good loans (Orient, Millwall) and some bad ones (Norwich, Leicester). Harry’s gained a lot from those experiences.

Hawksbee is normally ok tbf but I do feel a bit of campaigning going on by people who probably didn't want him here in the first place. Mourinho is not immune to criticism, let's have that right but even those of us who weren't keen on him being here in the first place are actually defending him to a level because it's clear that people are using any excuse to take pot shots.

I agree. As stated in my op I feel the toxicicity is the fans, not mourinho dividing fans. There is a clear agenda bot fan base and press. To blame division in fans on our manager is such a silly oxymoron.

If Mourinho is so sure Parrott isn't ready, why the fuck did he let him take a penalty? If he'd have scored it I'm sure he'd be saying something different about him today.

Taking a penalty is a bit different - might have proved his mental position at the moment though

Penalty has fuck all to do with it!

 

[VegasII]

Lol penalty means fuck all - any player can miss at any time. See Roberto Baggio, World Cup final 1994.

Are the Jose defenders honestly happy with the negative brand of football he has us playing? Sitting back against the club at the bottom of the Prem at home. Is it really a surprise that playing like that is pissing off a good percentage of our fan base?

I dont think any Spurs fan is happy at the moment.
Some are not so quick to judge and take into account the injuries to key players and blending in the new that have arrived.
Dont care if the fan base is pissed off as more concerned with winning!

 

[coysjod]

off topic,

Did we have 4 subs on the pitch last night?

has there been a rule change?

Winks <-> Ndombele
Moura <- >Lamela
Bergwijn <-> Fernandes
All <-> Parrot


⁉

Extra time - extra sub

 

[JimmyG2]

half the fan base literally thought he was the messiah.

Anyone who isnt being picked instantly becomes an invaluable world beater, anyone who is being picked is a waste of space.

Nope just a very naughty boy
'uman nature innit?

He might have been
now we are not quite sure

Has he been that amazing in the youth teams? I honestly hadn't heard of him until this season.

He is very much a product of the reality TV generation. Famous just for being famous. His reputation has literally preceded his actual career, pictures in the paper of him on yachts and in fast cars before he has scored a senior goal.

I don't blame him if it's gone to his head a bit. Might be a welcome reality check.

By Jose defenders do you mean Spurs fans?

Why do we have to put ourselves into such ridiculous groups and constantly divide ourselves?

Because there was and still is a percentage of fans that never wanted him for all the reasons that have within 3 months come to pass. Look when he joined I said I'd wait and see and then we had 3 or 4 games where we played really well and scored goals and I thought great this is what we want. Then the Jose sit back, defend and maybe nick a goal came and I'll be honest that isn't what I want from a Spurs team, its shite and I won't pay money to watch that negative crap. Now he's digging out players and basically saying they aren't good enough and without Kane and Son we are fucked. It's always about Jose with him, he'll throw the players under the bus before himself. It's going to end in tears, its just when. If we lose the next few games which is very possible as we look spent in belief and energy then this toxic atmosphere is going to explode.

Not too shabby.

A fair bunch of those goals were against Faroe, armenia and Bosnia kiddies sides though to be fair. I'm not sure I'm any nearer to understanding the fanfare.

Well any team who plays one striker and has two top quality strikers injured is going to be affected.

If you read his quote about Parrot rather than the media interpretation all he said was he was not to be blamed for missing the penalty and usually scores pens but he is young and has a lot of work to do.

I have no problem with fans not being in favour of the manager but you have not answered why you feel this ridiculous need to put us into groups of being for or against.
