José Mourinho was low-key after last night’s game and one can’t help but believe that this is somewhat of a performance (when is not playing to the camera?) designed to keep fan expectations in check.
Of course, there is the reality of our Europa League future. The best teams have yet to join the competition, and this is merely the weeding out process that we’re watching.
Now I don’t have any purchase in the ‘enjoy the ride’ world, and I don’t want any. Yet it is great to see Spurs actually progressing in competitions, opposed to having to wade through explanations as to why it doesn’t matter if you lose. I take a view that it expends far more energy to run around for 90minutes and lose a game than it does to win…
The quote above from an Inter fan was left under the post presser video, and it’s well worth your consideration. We mustn’t side with the lazy losers. We mustn’t be afraid to become electrified.
Enjoy.
