Despite his very very good record there, he was struggling in the end to turn them from a top 4 position into a genuine title challenge, they were awful in the CL final too against an awful performance by LFC.

And I actually like Martinez, but the way these clubs overlook Rafa is incredible. If Martinez does return to club football, hopefully he doesn't take Jones with him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Neil and other Everton fans will no doubt be able to elaborate, but his sides are absolutely shocking defensively. Once the solid foundations Moyes had built were eroded, he struggled.

It’s not an easy thing to do. Think when Leicester won it was their best chance but other than that Man City and Liverpool have been brilliant when winning it. As for the final the penalty that never was after 2mins was bound to flatten them but actually thought they were the better team for large spells in that game iirc. Kane hadn’t played at all for a month either iirc so that gamble backfired as it felt they had 10 players on the pitch. Then no major squad regeneration for 3/4 windows as they paid for their stadium. Such fine margins. I know they were dropping off before the final as their away form that season was poor but like under Mourinho they were still doing well against the teams just dropping a lot of late points with an ageing defence.

Nobody Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Really think the whole "Poch didn't win a trophy" at Spurs is a load of tosh. It's incredibly hard to win a trophy in England, especially with how good Man City and Liverpool has been lately. The fact that he got them challenging, consistent top 4 and a CL final is very impressive considering what he was up against. The fact that Leicester has gone and won two bloody trophies in the last five years shouldn't take anything away from that neither; they are just an absolute fairy tale come true. Spurs fan at work says the same; Poch is his favourite ever Spurs manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Spurs squad is absolute garbage, I was amazed at the criticism Mou was getting when you sat and actually looked at what he was working with. Probably deserves credit for that blistering Kane/Son start to the season but they were never maintaining that considering what was around them.

Nobody Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 It's pretty good apart from a pretty shit/aging defence. They've struggled defensively all season, and since that is Mourinhos hall mark, it's why it went tits up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Selling Dembele was a huge error, he made them tick. The form of Alderweireld, Alli, and Eriksen fell off a cliff too, compounding matters. I'd agree they now have a very average squad outside their front three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mourinho mismanaged the squad if anything. Their strengths are in forward areas of the pitch and he didn't take advantage of that, because it's just not his forte. Not making use of Dele and Bale for large parts of the season was a huge mistake, particularly against weaker teams that they could have really overwhelmed with Kane, Son, Bale and Dele all involved. Likely would have allowed them to control games more too and taken pressure off the defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
