Was José Mourinho caught fibbing when he told the press the Spurs boys didn’t follow his instructions against Wolverhampton Wanderers? Well, as I made the point in this week’s #KeepOtTottenham podcast, if we look at the substitutions, they don’t appear to be the work of a coach hunkering down for a one-nil win.
Indeed, the gaffer took of a defender, and brought on an attacker. Took Tanguy off because he was – as ever – pooped after an hour; and finally, swapped out the fatigued Sonny for another attacker.
Accusations laid at Mourinho’s door all come from the same place, an inability to move on from the failed Pochettino project, and a healthy side-serving of contempt for the Portuguese Pulis.
Klopp got 5 years and Mourinho gets just the one transfer window. Shameful stuff indeed.
