I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Mourinho’s keen interest in Tottenham’s youth products may well be a key to unlocking some of the febrile contempt that exists toward him with the Spurs fanbase. If it doesn’t, then one could very readily make a case against those with a perpetual axe to grind the Portuguese. Either way, José’s certainly playing Daniel Levy’s game by providing a few of the boys with some much welcome publicity and praise.
Here we provide readers with a comprehensive summary of Dane Scarlett’s best actions, from his well-received 11-minute cameo against Wolfsberger. Enjoy!

Agreed when infatuated about selecting Dier is clearly blurring Mourinho’s vision!!
OT…further proof(as if it is needed) of just how ENIC manage to turn wine into bad water:

Dier’s inflated view of his ability and blaming the team for defensive mistakes says it all. If Rodon had been given more games he would have settled in at this level by now.
Despite his tender years looking commanding and comfortable on the ball Roden ought already be a regular In the side!!
Agree, work with him off field till he’s more ready.
I’d give Lamela 1st half & Bale 2nd half,
ease Bale in to a starting spot gradually
No Bale ? Bale over Lamela for me
With you on that. My paring would be Rodon & Tanganga with Toby filling in when able
Seems they both prefer to play on the right side, may be an issue? But they are our two best.
I get the feeling coaches [Ledley] are working on him on the training pitch to sort out his weaknesses.
…..I hear you say, “why are they not doing the same with Sanchez & more importantly Dier?”
Maybe they are both too far gone, or not long for this parish.
You do realize how inexperienced Rodon is at this level DD? A few games marred with individual errors and social media will be sending him death threats.
One will get 60_70 mins, the other will get the rest. It’s all good
Correction: Bale instead of Lamela
My revised team selection against Burnley:
Lloris, Aurier, Reguillon, Alderweireld,Rodon,Ndombele, Hojbjerg, Lamela, Alli, Son, Kane.
Whilst I am happy to see all our talented academy youngsters given a run out in the side Mourinho’s weird stance on ignoring Rodon (future captain in the making for both club and country) is a complete mystery. Irrespective of Toby’s age himself and Rodon are clearly the best centre back pairing as opposed to the fragile Dier and Sanchez partnership. Very odd situation!!
Scarlett and Parrot sounds like a double act
