Give it a rest eh? Are you going to moan about Mourinho each time we win?? Let's just wait and see what happens shall we?

Spurs game was interesting, bit dynamic with the strategy but the back up plan worked. Guess you have to give credit for that and good at getting the guys to play the strategy. But they are professional footballers and that is what is expected.

What a free kick from Dybala in the Juve v Atleti game ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
Good response from Spurs though. I can understand Jensen's negativity regards JM, he obviously cares about his club not just about the present but also the future of it.

I'd argue more that our fans have watched enough of Emery and his shite football and lack of tactical intelligence. That's not negative that's realistically commenting on the actual play and results...

You sound like such a drama queen. He's just a football manager managing a football team. A manager with a good track record of trophies as well. Either he'll be successful or he won't. Nobody will die (hopefully).

Appointed on Thursday and 2 wins out of 2 in 3 days.....really shocking.
This is the man that got a bang average United side to finish ABOVE Liverpool just 18 months ago remember. I know who I would rather have in charge of my club out of Ole or Mourinho! It's like comparing Bogner to the Bahamas or a Fiesta to a Ferrai.

Bit of poetic license there -
That “bang average “ team cost him £300mil including at the time one of the most expensive players in the world , the Liverpool team were still building and developing.
Mourinho has a lot of work to do at Spurs because he won’t be able to buy his team, this time he will need to manage , he will prob win one of the domestic cups , what happens then will be interesting- third year explosion?
To be fair I thought bearing how little time he's had to work with the side it was a good managerial display from Mourinho last night. Not afraid to change it early and clearly got the side motivated and playing in the second half. I can see him getting the most from what is an average squad by PL and CL standards. Yes they have some top players but aren't strong enough in every position and lack depth.

Went to the Etihad last night. Wanted to watch a CL game live for a while, and knew it's not coming any soon for Everton 
, so popped down to the Etihad instead. Not the best game, but still cool to go. Had fantastic seats on the 1st tier right behind the goal so could see everything. City didn't look great, but a couple of players stood out - Rodri was fantastic. His range of passing, the way he controlled the midfield and dictated the game was a joy to watch, the sort of player it's difficult to appreciate when watching on TV but live he was fantastic. Then KDB didn't have his best game but he's so tenacious, works so hard and when he gets the ball makes the game look SO easy, what a footballer. As for the negatives - Angelino was dreadful. No power, caught out of position a few times, and had a rough night trying to control the pacey and talented Tete, going to struggle if he's their LB for a prolonged period. Then Otamendi was shocking. Dives into tackles wildly, leaves himself way out position and was so fortunate to have Fernandinho backing him up, without him they'd have lost last night. City really need to sort out a new CB or two in Jan and pray they can get a PL level LB back fit, Angelino is not going to cut it at the top level based on last night.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he went all the way in the CL with Spurs.
Didn’t DiMatteo do it with Chelsea a while ago when they were nowhere near the best team in the competition. Rode there luck and got past the best teams in Europe.
Plus I’m pretty sure this Spurs side is as good as the Porto team Mourinho won it with.
Just never know in football, especially in cup competitions.
Sometimes the best team in Europe don’t win it, look at Arsenal over the years 😗

I don't know why people are being so melodramatic about Mourinho. What's the worst that can happen really? He took over with us in 14th. He's not going to get us relegated. Top four is already a tough ask. Some of our key players may leave but would've done eventually anyway. On the upside, he has a good track record for winning trophies, or at least competing for them, which may encourage the players to stay put, or at least attract able replacements as Mourinho is clearly a big name in management.
So yeah.. what's the worst that can happen?

That you finish 6th or below this year. A few payers leave and the reality that you’ve got a massive mortgage and no CL footy to pay for it leads to bargain basement signings. You miss out on Europe in year two, Kane leaves and then you’re back to a mid table team like you’ve been for most of the prem.
personally think G Neville has it spot on though.
Reckon you’ll win a trophy by end of next year which will justify the risk.

Mourinho is the sort of manager Spurs need, a winner. Might not have had the best time at the end of his spell with United and so that's fresh in everyone's minds, but he's still one of the best managers in the world and especially early in reigns tends to have a lot of success. He had 2 full seasons at United and in 16/17 they came 6th but won the Europa League and League Cup and 17/18 they came 2nd, it started to fall apart in season 3 (tends to with Jose) but they're not terrible results for his first 2 season. I would be very surprised if Spurs fall apart and crumble back into mid-table mediocrity. If Levy gives Jose a bit of money to spend over the next 2 windows they could be title contenders again next season.

He has earned more money through being sacked than through gainful employment. That is the measure of the man. Spends a fortune, costs a fortune. Good luck with that one. I know how this story ends.

Title contenders, again. Again? When have they ever contended? The Leicester year? That was a cluster flip for everyone, it won't happen again.
