Time to smash the Woolwich
Mourinho has won has many trophies at Tottenham as Poch has. I don't really give a shit about what he has won elsewhere.
1 goal conceded in 5 games that should have been disallowed.
2 clean sheets aginst our rivals. In fact, having played 3 of them already, we have conceded 1 goal, a penalty, in the first minute, against them. And scored 8.
Kane, Son, Bale, Moura, Bergwijn, Vinicious, Lamela, GLC attacing options.
A serial title winner as coach.
If people still can't comprehend we are in with a shout then they never will.
Hmm.
POch has won nothing in 3 jobs. Not a dickie bird.
He had 4 full seasons with Spurs and got to 2 finals and still won nothing. He managed to finish 3rd in a 2 horse race.
Mourinho took over a team that was broken, now where near title contenders, almost out of the CL and already out of the league cup.
He had no chance of wining something in his half a season.
Think it's best listening to his pressers than reading them.
When asked about the injuries, he almost sounded sarcastic when mentioning the likes of Kane, Vinicius, Toby etc yet really clear when mentioning Lamela being out.
I assume because Lamela is the only one actually injured.
Jose is a master at this.

That's great, and I am excited for the incoming quadruple.
My point is we've been here before in 2015-2019...this is not new territory for Spurs over the last 5 or so years. The difference is the hope that Mourinho can finish the job on the big ones (read as: I don't give two shits about the League Cup).
league cup is important for us to get that monkey of our back. 1000/1 for the quad.... worth a score all day long hahahah
Put Mourinho in charge of the Champions League final against Liverpool and, IMO, our chances of winning go up tremendously.
Put him in charge of the FA Cup Semi Finals against Chelsea and United (assuming he would't also be in charge of United) and I reckon we win both.
He knows what to do when the pressure is on. He knows how to counter other teams. We weren't bad in any of those 3 games but we lost them all.
If doable you should always listen to manager interviews. Their actual intent becomes much clearer when you listen to them.
FC 100: Liverpool, Bayern dominate, USMNT stars break into our annual ranking of soccer's best players
The ESPN FC 100 is back for 2020, and our annual ranking of the best in men's soccer shows that Bayern and Liverpool reign supreme.
ESPNS top 100 player rankings are out...
The sheer disrespect from ESPN is just ridiculous...
No Jose in the top 10?

I agree it's good for the squad and Mourinho has generally gone after it at United and Chelsea because it gets the squad used to the pressure and winning, but from an (individual) supporter's perspective it's not really the trophy I had in mind when Jose was hired.

That is the truth. He bought Mo Salah. Mo Salah was completely overawed. A nervous wreck. I remember one game where he took a shot on goal and it ended up for a throw for the opposition on the other side. Against L1 opposition in a Cup game. It was the last time he would play for Chelsea. He then went on loan to Fiorentina, does extremely well there. Loan over, but Mo Salah excercised his option to stay in Fiorentina. JM gets sacked. 2nd year loan over, Mo Salah still refuses to come back to Chelsea. There was some noise regarding his loan agreement and Salah was then sold to Sampdoria.
He was sold to Roma, though - not Sampdoria. But you´re right about everything else.

100%. He would have got us over the line in at least two of those three scenarios. Loved Poch, but time to move on.
Just do a number on those bastards this Sun Jose!
Completely agree about listening to his pressers. You will get to understand certain decisions that he makes. For example, he said in a presser that Ndombele can only last 60 mins at the pace that he wants him to play. So he plays 60 mins or not at all (this is my own take). Good news, last time out, he played 65 mins.
Ditto this. Spurs is still very much a one winged bird. I suspect Bale's injury isn't completely healed and you certainly don't want to see Bale end his career now by pushing him. Too many people have written Bale off as a has-been. Comparing Spurs with the RM team under JM, I see Ndombele as the Ozil equivalent but there is still a missing piece in midfield, someone you guys know very well - Luka Modric.
so probably son, kane and vinicius front 3 ? i think they could play together with kane dropping deep
Id say Regi and Kane got day off and Vinicius has a slight knock.
