Jose is a has been fraud and I'm in absolute hysterics at his downfall.

posted on 19/3/21

It’s exactly clear what happened to me. The Tottenham players underestimated Zagreb and weren’t up for the fight. Lloris’ interview hints exactly at this.

I don't think it's just that it's the manner of the defeat on top of everything else.

I'd say it's certainly as much on the manager as it is the players without question. It's his job to manage his players, if he can't do that he shouldn't be in the job.

Hugo lloris is furious at his teammates. This is where the blame lies for the result last night

The plan is to score 1 goal, what a mastermind.

Watch lloris interview. It’s the players who messed up.

Lloris talks about players who aren’t first team regulars who aren’t supporting the team and playing with the right attitude when they are in the team.

He talks about players underestimating the threat Zagreb have

How anyone can blame mourinho when lloris is spelling out what actually happened is beyond me

It’s not unlucky, are you stupid. Lloris is blaming the attitudes of the players

Players, in most situations, will call themselves out before the manager.

The fact is it is up to the manager to make sure complacency doesn't become an issue. If the players weren't interested and don't have the right attitude, that says more about the manager than the players for me.

For all the work and quality those players have put in to become professionals at that level, I don't believe any player would not put the effort in unless they were making a point, usually about the manager.

Jose is a good manager when can outspend all the other managers

Why? Care to explain this?

This isn’t a new thing with Tottenham. The same happens in 2017 when Tottenham were eliminated by gent

This a problem with this group of players

It's down to the manager to get the most out of the players, if they don't have the right attitude and aren't interested in playing, that's down to the manager.

I don't believe that any player, who will have spent hours upon hours as kids and teenagers looking to improve their game, some players coming from rough backgrounds and unfortunate circumstances that have worked hard to get to this level, would ever suddenly "lose interest" in playing football. They are professionals.

It's not about losing interest in playing football. It's about underestimating the opposition and thinking that they didn't need to give 100% to finish the job. Mourinho told the players not to do it, accoridng to Lloris. Accoridng to Lloris, the players didn't listen.

posted on 19/3/21

So that's the managers fault.

If the players are not listening to their manager, that comes down to the manager. There is clearly a reason why they aren't listening to him if that's the case.

The manager underestimated them, that's why he played so many of these shiyte back up squad players at once, and if he can't motivate them then he's not doing his job as their manager very well.

I said he's unlucky, I didn't say Spurs are unlucky.

Your obsession with Mourinho is beyond cringeworthy.

Do you think the Spurs players took it upon themselves to not try and score then?

I'm assuming you didn't even watch the game.

A better way of carrying out Joses masterplan of 'trying to score 1 goal' would have been to not play several back up players that apparently it is well known do not have the right attitude.
