Mourinho: "Why are you speaking about us? Speak about Liverpool, Manchester United, City and others with 'clever' players and getting penalties. Don't speak about Harry Kane." #THFC #COYS

José Mourinho presser ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League game against Ludogorets Razgrad game sounds like it was a classic encounter with the Special One as the business of Harry Kane’s alleged dive against Brighton & Hove Albion was mentioned.
The gaffer was unimpressed with the query, and hinted that what was sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. To my mind, this is a good example of Mourinho’s desire for his squad to be intelligent, not stupid.
Here’s the incident again…

doesnt stop backing in being the actual foul though…wouldnt be the first player to come off worse from fouling someome. That said, I am still not fully convinced Kane intended that, I think he was sheilding the ball and Llanana tried to header it.
Neymar got fKed up the same way, Player jumping in fractured his spine, what’s the difference. Salah can only dream of being that inventive.
All I would say on the matter is ……when was the last time you saw an opposition play head the ball in that direction from the edge of their box?
Lallana saw the danger & put his body on the line as Jose said to stop Kane, but made a mistake.
Kane did exactly what he should do
I am not sure, plus if he did, then backing in is the foul, not the jumping player.
It was a foul but he sure had a good look at Lallana before backing in.
I may have Spurs tinted glasses, but i cant see this as anything other than a foul against Kane.
