Jose Mourinho, you beauty.
For months we had to listen to Mauricio Pochettino’s drivel about how Christian Eriksen is committed to Tottenham Hotspur, and that his contract situation had nothing to do with his drastic drop in form.
But Mourinho won’t entertain that nonsense. At pretty much his first opportunity, he has spoken honestly about Eriksen’s future after dropping the Danish midfielder for his first game in charge at West Ham United.

“The match today is important, but so is our future,” Mourinho told BT Sport before kickoff at the London Stadium. “I need to understand what is in Eriksen’s heart and make the right decision for the club.”

Will this get a response from Eriksen? And what type of response?
We will have to wait and see. But I’m all for Jose calling him out on it.
