He mentioned it in his book briefly.
He said something along the lines off “if I make early subs, how bad did I get it from the start”

In other words, he cannot admit to mistakes and correct them. Terrible.

After having to wait for Poch’s usual 62 minute sub I’m really interested to find out Mourinho’s favourite sub time.

Pick Dier, pick Dier, and the team will be on fire.
There's more where that comes from, and that's BEFORE I have a pint.

This time last week, I’d have been blindly hopeful at best. After the events of the week, I’m actually looking forward to the game with genuine confidence.
I think Poch did a great job taking from Europa League regulars, to being a legitimate CL team. He gave us pride and intensity, but after 5 years that has started to fall away this season. I think the squad should have been refreshed two years ago, couple of players at a time, but when the opportunity was missed, it became clear a time for management change was right, maybe even a little too late, but had to be done.
We shouldn’t forget the great work he did, but equally we should be excited by the new chapter. Mourinho wasn’t my first choice, but everything I’ve seen and read this week, albeit some of may be scripted media spin, but it has convinced me that Mourinho is indeed probably that next level of manager, one who brings a level of expectation and confidence. The clear uplift in media shows what a difference he makes, suddenly it feels like his appointment alone has shifted us up to the next level, now expected to be amongst the City’s and Liverpool’s, like before we were just playing at it, but now we’re serious.
I like the look of Mourinho 2.0, the break appears (initially) to have done him some good. He appears reenergised and refocused. There’s a cool calm assurance about him, a drive to get back to basics. Less pantomime, more business. Fresh backroom staff, looks to be thoroughly researched. I get the impression Campos will be the final piece of the team, and that can’t happen soon enough, hopefully we see movement soon so any potential January moves can be planned and not the usual scattergun. Albeit I still expect another coaching appointment too, though probably a relatively recent ex player to come onboard as junior coach within his team. That’s just a guess though.
I liked the talk about small changes to start, fine-tuning because he doesn’t want to overload the players. As such, I don’t expect mass changes in personnel just yet, probably similar sort of lineups to what we’ve seen recently, so more Aurier and Rose etc, but with significantly more structure and motivation. I think changes of personnel will be more gradual. Also, I don’t buy the ‘Bus Parking’ and ‘Negative Football’, I’m expecting an intelligent balance between defensive discipline, and sheer ruthless attacking intent, as was his mantra at Chelsea, Inter and Real.

He is a man of honour too and I suspect he wants to give the players a chance to turn it around. Let's not forget early in his times with us we got a lot of late goals, often from players like Dele or Eriksen who people said had "done nothing" all match.

I suspect Mourinho will start those players he knows well, and those who know each other well. Not much he can do in 2 days accept change the mentality, which will happen anyway, and rely on what Poch built. He also likes a core of local players so wouldn't be surprised to see Dele, Dier as DM, and Winks play. Alderwiereld will play, I doubt Eriksen will. Jose may not feel comfortable enough yet with the new boys so wouldn't be surprised to see both Ndombele and Lo Ceslo on the bench, although I would like Lo Ceslo to play, while Tanguy may not yet be 100%. Whatever the team, I am excited to see how we look. Still sad about Poch though!
The div contradicts himself within the specs of a minute. How do such absolute idiots get paid work???
‘If you want a manager who spends £350m to win an FA Cup then fine’
Not even a minute later -
‘He didn’t spend much money to win the champions league with Porto and Inter’
And he started it all with -
‘I can’t ever see Mourinho getting Tottenham to a Champions League final’
So, he needs money to win, doesn’t spend much to win the biggest prize in club football and doesn’t stand a chance of getting an unfancied side to a champions league final...despite doing it twice already.

I've got a horrible feeling today won't be that great
Long term he will sort it out, but today I fear may be a defeat,we all forget it's the pikeys Cup final
