SiJ Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Jose's half time teamtalk against RB Leipzig...sort of sums up why he might not be up to it these days. Was all about not conceding a goal, not losing the match... The thing is, if you are crap going forward, then you will inevitably end up conceding. Watching Spurs now and Man U under him previously, I'm not sure Jose knows how to coach a team offensively these days. They sort of pass it around aimlessly and hope for a mistake or lucky break.

SiJ Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Harry Winks has improved a lot - Jose I must have missed this. One of the most bang average players at a so-called top 6 side. Bloody awful. Seems like a nice enough bloke, but perhaps that's part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was meaning in my post before about him being a busted flush. He knows how to set a team up to defend (although seemingly none of his players want to do it any more) but his attacking plans are none existent. His half time team talks are woeful. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know their woeful?

SallyCinnamon Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Mourinho is managing a poor Spurs side here. They peaked last season in the Champions League final. It really needs fresh investment. Edited September 16, 2020 by SallyCinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His messages are wishy washy, at times frightened and super negative. It's always about not losing. Alex Ferguson used to say "we never get beat, we just run out of time some times" and he and his teams lived by it. Jose made me scared for Spurs when they were playing Middlesborough FFS!

Different players respond differently. Perhaps José thinks this Spurs side were getting complacent and needed to be reminded? Don’t think you can read too much into it from an hour long episode.

It’s the impression I got. Plus as another poster has said, we see approximately 30 seconds or a minute of the team talks. It’s all edited down and Mourinho specifically asked for his tactics to not be included. How anyone can form an opinion and say José is a busted flush or gives crap team talks based on this documentary is absolutely ludicrous.

Ellis Rimmer Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 1) after Jose pointing out the lazy defending of spurs I can now see why on football manager you get "didn't seem to be listening" mainly at half time 2) why did they send Harry winks to an elderly care home where they had no clue or care who he is haha.

Kopparberg Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think the series is 9 episodes (?) Overall, I think Jose comes across as a likeable guy you’d want to play for. Spurs have good players - but it seemed a bit of a challenge to get them not to fail half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I've just finished it and my god is Daniel Levy a kn0b. At the end when Vertonghen is leaving after 8 years: "We've got you something to say thanks and all the best for the future, it's a watch, we'll get something engraved on it" The chat he had with Ndombele was a joke. The poor guy was obviously having a bit of a struggle off the pitch and the best Levy can come up with was "when I got told to quit school I said 'no way' and got all A's". Yeah cheers Daniel, that will help me settle in England away from my family and friends. 1 Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
