Serge Aurier leaves stadium at half-time after furious Jose Mourinho bust-up

[mumfordspur]

Did Hugo catch it?

Nope he stood rooted to the spot as it flew by as per.

 

[markdadude]

Don't you guys remember in the Amazon doc in a team meeting, mopey Mou said something along the lines of 'Serge has always got a stupid fucking mistake in him' ?!?!?!

We all know he does but I wouldn't put up with that shit either

 

[thecook]

In all seriousness though, throwing an ice bucket at your captain?!?!

That's just cold.

 

[Chedozie]

You don't think this is true?

It has been confirmed

 

[Black]

Rodon was at fault for the goal, he shouldn't have pushed Miller and dier and loris should have delt with the cross and tbh dier should have hoofed it.

I think he thought Hugo had given up the captaincy 5 minutes beforehand.

 

[VancouverSpur]

I wish I could have had the sense to switch off the Telly at half time to spare me that second half. Serge was way ahead of me on that one. But in all seriousness the amount of bust ups and shouting matches that go on in dressing rooms at half time that we never hear off are plentiful. This will no doubt be resolved.

Aurier had Mane in an offside position in the build up. Davies was playing him onside. Lloris and Dier then managed to let Firminho score from a couple of yards out. There was more bad play before that, particularly Dier, so if Mourinho singled Aurier out he was bang out of order.

Yeah, you can't 'have someone in an offside position' if you're not the last man. Basic defending. Imagine if all you had to do to defend was be in front of your man so he's offside. No need to keep a defensive line.

There was still a fuckup between Dier and Lloris, but defending that way is idiotic. And if you're defending Aurier for playing a one-man offside trap, then...

Errrr... OK. The thing is, the back line are meant to work as a unit and in this case they all were apart from Ben Davies. They do talk to each other you know.

Whatever happened in the dressing room was significant and it wouldn't surprise me if tempers were raised and it may have nearly come to blows although those reports of blows are not confirmed, the reason I say this is because when they came out for the second half many of the Spurs players looked in complete disarray in the first couple of minutes of as if their minds and heads were still elsewhere.
Yes it's often the case that we lose concentration, but that was really much more noticeable, where we nearly conceded two almost from the kick off and Lloris looked decidedly shaky and all over the place which does give credence to the fact that he might also have been at the centre of what went on in there at half time.

 

[Mark_147]

He's Mr Inconsistency. No right to throw a strop.

Mr inconsistency applies to all of our defenders.

 

[taidgh]

Exactly why you can't just take it on yourself to be ahead of your man to play someone offside. As I said, basic defending. Jose was right to dig him out.

If he was right to dig Aurier out he should have done the same to Lloris, Dier and Davies who were equally to blame (and in my opinion moreso).

Singling out individuals is pointless

Buts that Jose for you. He is just a bully who gets away with it as ‘strength’. In fact he is weak and cowardly in just about all he does including setting up a team. He is the untouchable one and everyone else around him just makes so many mistakes. He’s too good for us, too good for the EPL, too good for everyone.

Good for Serge to walk out on him

 

[Johnny J]

Honestly Aurier has performed better this season than Mourinho. We are so bad these days and nicking a game against the run of play isn't a sustainable plan.

 

[Twizzle]

bye Serge

 

[Rusta81]

The whole defence were awful really , I felt all 3 goals were poor . In fact apart from first the 10 minutes that’s one of the worst performance I’ve seen . Absolute plop plop

 

[cider spurs]

Hope this gets resolved. Sure, we need better, but he has upped his game somewhat this season.
