OMT Spurs Everton

[NorwegianSpursFan]

At least José recognises that we are unfit and was lazy in the pressing. Whos fault that is on the other hand...

 

[Baleforce]

If we can’t do it with Jose we might as well close down and give the money back to the shareholders.

 

[billyiddo]

Add to his own inability to get most out of players who have previously been excellent for us.

Let's be frank we got rid of Poch because he couldn't do it anymore we didn't get Mourinho to replace those players or we would have kept Poch

We thought the players had more to give, turns out they don't

 

[LutonSpurs]

That second half was awful. We should have been up at half time though but no excuse.

The substitution made no sense.

Calvert Lewin was Tobys man so not sure why Dier getting pelters.

I miss Poch.

TBF to him the shambles of the way pre season has been set up for clubs with internationals thrown in doesn’t help

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Turns out they don’t have the desire to give

 

[Benny_Lad]

My thoughts now are the same as when he joined. What was the strategy around appointing him knowing he’d be operating on a shoestring and would have to improve the current crop? Has he got a CV for that?

Without knowing, I’d assume that was the same for Everton?

You can’t dig out Toby. It’s the rules
Yeah mean first man and all but as it went over him (because he didn’t jump) it has to be the man who was also marking Keane... go figure

Same for all though.

Yeah but their team were mainly here during the week. That doesn’t really change much but it means teams can’t work on things as they would normally
It’s why city and united get an extra week off
I believe in right in saying for example our whole defence played the international games
Theirs didn’t

The difference is that now we know the answer, from that telly programme. Levy was starstruck, nothing more.

 

[elltrev]

Oh well, at least we have the prospect of Plovdiv in 4 days to get the players all fired up.

They had two less players than us on international duty.

 

[Grays_1890]

Previously excellent... 2 years ago

And not one near 30

Its his job to get them back to where they are. If we were changing those players as the problem then Poch wasn't and stays

Jose was never getting wholesale change, he signed up for that

No sympathy

 

[yiddo37]

Only 3 points off the top

 

[elltrev]

Don’t know if I’m reaching, but I wonder if Jose’s negativity means he doesn’t have the players’ buy-in? That HT sub was fudging depressing as a fan - must affect the players on the pitch too.

Today really felt like the nail in the coffin for the Poch-era AND Jose to me.

Hallelujah someone gets it

I even miss AVB after that. Would much prefer to have 85% possession and a slim to none chance of scoring rather than give up possession every week, even at home!

Club obviously thought Poch was holding the players back and that Jose "Proven Winner" Mourinho would get the team back to their best and wave his winning mentality wand which would add the missing ingredients to get them over the line.

Some people actually believed it too
