Life under Jose Mourinho thus far has been very… un-Mourinho.
Five wins from seven, yes; but a couple of 3-2s and a 4-2 in amongst it.

Adama Traore, the source of most of our troubles, equalised on 67 minutes, and a few months ago we may have folded to another away defeat.
But we defended our box brilliantly- for the most part – and Jan Vertonghen came up with an unwarranted last-minute winner – the Mourinho affect.
