Match Day Thread Vs Spurs (H)

[The IncREDibles]

There seems to be quite a lot of hate for Spurs on here. I personally don't mind them as a club - some of their fans were a bit unnecessary a few years back when they were above us for a while, but they've not had a lot to crow about for the last half century so I'll let 'em off.
However, I really dislike Mourinho's style of play and I don't care how many trophies he's won, it's not what I want to see, so I do hope they get nowhere for as long as he's in charge.

I don't hate Spurs, and while I dislike their style of play, I accept that it is a viable style of play that we need to be able to combat, which we did.

What I hate is the multitude of hateful and spiteful comments that Mourinho has hurled at anyone associated with Liverpool throughout his career, and for that I will take full joy in any defeat that we hand him.

 

[THE FOOL]

This has long been said of him and I couldn't disagree more. He cares for no-one but himself, he doesn't take centre-stage to take pressure of his players - it's because he needs the attention. He's perfectly happy to throw his players under the bus when it suits him so it can't be argued that he has their best interests at heart. Even last night he implied that it was Bergwijn who let him and his master-plan down.
He's a little boy in a grown-up body - self-centred, petty and ungracious. And occasionally funny.

I coukdnt disagree a more, he only highlighted bergwijn to say if he'd scored they would have won, hardly throwing him under the bus.

But again, I doubt any of the players pay s blind bit of attention to what he says either. He would quite happily stand in front of the camera and call any player a cock, 5 minutes later have his arm around him in the changing room telling him how good he was.

Its all a show for the media, im amazed anybody still takes it seriously.

 

[Ivan Dobsky]

I think Mourinho is an utter ****, and have done since he targeted paramedics after Cech's head injury at Reading years ago. Add to that his despicable treatment of Eva Caniero and you have an utter, utter ****. And a nincompoop to boot.

We need to get that dislike button back.
We'll have to disagree - I think it's those that think it's all a selfless act who are the ones being taken in.

I dont think its selfless, I just don't think he really gives a **** what you or I think.

The media can report all they want, but he plays the tune.

I don't go on what others say, I go on what I see. And what I see is a classic case of immature emotional development.
The fact that he eventually falls out with staff and players everywhere he goes belies the suggestion that he's trying to deflect unwanted attention from others.
He has a way that gets results, so people accept his personality in order to succeed - but it's only a matter of time until they can take no more.
I don't think he's a horrible person like some do - I just think he's stuck in silly adolescent behaviour.
Trying to make out he should have won last night is a clear case of self delusion.

People are prepared to put up with Maureen's behaviour when he's winning, but as soon as he hits a difficult patch, he becomes unbearable. Blaming players, staff, officials, the tea lady, anybody but himself.

Look at him last night, one loss and he's already throwing his toys out.

The wheels always come off eventually with Maureen, and it will happen at Spurs too.

Yes. Inevitably it will with Jose at Spurs. I just hope it's sooner rather than later. He always leaves a team in disarray and weaker than he found it, but he can do some damage and win a few pieces of silver before he causes it all to collapse.

He's a parasite, he destabilizes a clubs future for the present. Signing Jose Mourinho is like stripping the heavy armour off a tank to make it cross the field quicker. Yeah, it works, but the first blast and you're toast

I hope an A-10 tankbuster finds them sooner rather than later

Kane missed the easiest chance of them all.. can’t risk upsetting 50% of his goal scoring players though

 

[Jimmy Squarefoot]

Spurs had chances to win the game.

But we deserved to win the game. It was a really good performance and now we’re properly top of the table.

Beating our rivals with a depleted squad just goes to show the mentality and ability we possess.

No one let us down yesterday. Plenty of fantastic individual performances but standouts are Curtis and Fabinho.

Your saying when results don't go well, people get discontented, thats amazing, good job its only with him that it happens and no other managers ever lose the dressing room.

 

[Sucky]

Got the result but why didn't Klopp use Gomez, Matip, Thiago, or Jota? Mourinho declared them all fit in his press conference when he whinged Spurs actually had more injuries.

They do have more injuries..

Its just that none of them are over 17 or in the 1st team squad..... Fukin idiot

 

[Ivan Dobsky]

Magnificent goal that.

Time for bed.

You give him way to much credit, he's just a brat.

Mind game master I think not.

Of course Jose isn't the only manager to ever lose the dressing room. But the manner in how his reign will go is very predictable. It always follows this pattern.

Step 1) coach the team how to park the bus and dive to good affect.

Step 2) reap the rewards and have some good times.

Step 3) in transfer window sell off good young players at club and buy a bunch of already at peak players for over the odds.

Step 4) Have a bit of a wobble, throw a tantrum and pick a fight with whoever is the biggest ego at the club besides himself.

Step 5) make the fight with the other ego a focus instead of football. Completely demoralize the squad and make star players want to leave. Throw some blame at random other people like EMTs and doctors.

Step 6) Crash. Burn. Get fired. Leave the club without its youth and now needing replacements because he sold the youth, forced the stars to either leave (or hate the club so that they don't perform there) and now the club is left with a weaker long term roster.

Step 7) watch from afar as the club he left spends the next few years trying to rebuild after Mourinho gutted it and make smug comments to himself as he watches them on telly about "see they're doing worse now I left".

...... and Bobby.

watched the highlights earlier and that is easily the most goal threat Bobby has been for months .

Do wonders for his confidence bagging a late winner to take us top.

We need that with Mane not at 100% and Jota out.

Its a wonder he finds anyone to employ him.
