Jose Mourinho has been well known for his uninhibited use of substitutes in the past. It’s certainly been a talking point during project restart that the Special One hasn’t been as enthusiastic as many thought he might be in taking advantage of the enhanced offering of 5 subs.
My conclusion was that his confidence outside Mourinho’s preferred starting XI wasn’t as bold as it might be and speaking after the win at Newcastle this evening, the gaffer made it clear that Spurs need more players. If we do somehow manage to qualify for the Europa League, then things are definitely going to become stretched!
Obviously, we’ll have to be mindful of the Financial Fair Play…
