[@kareemismail3744]

The reason why playing from the back had less success against past Pep teams and this Liverpool side is that they had maturity and discipline in the back. For Man city then, Kompany and Laporte made sure that the team was not as vulnerable on the counter and with this Liverpool the same could be said of Virgil and whoever he is paired with. Yet still this strategy sometimes work and it is not only about Mourinho. Liverpool dropped points to a ManU playing from the back and lost to a Napoli built around absorbing pressure.. Liverpool may have been the better team against Tottenham, but they were also lucky to grab the win.

@Gehn Saavedro In the first few weeks of Klopp's tenure he beat Chelsea away 3-1. This was at a time where Mourinho's Chelsea were difficult to beat. A couple of weeks later he beat Man City away 4-1. One of the few teams to thrash City that season. A month later he reached a League cup final, yes he lost, but there was forward progress. Liverpool were unable to pick up points against the big teams. This season Mourinho has played against Ole, Lampard, and Klopp and picked up 0 points. Picking up points against lower teams is expected of Spurs.

[@NaNa-wj8tw]

Klopp hadn’t failed in his last two jobs leaving toxic atmospheres at both and spent more than some countries. Is it too early? Of course, but he hasn’t been able to come in and solidify issues or make them harder to beat. It’s been patchy at best and we all know he doesn’t do well without outspending everyone. This is the last chance saloon and he’s already blaming lack of investment when he was made aware he’d have to do spend normal money like everyone else bar Pep. Complete fraudster.

[@josh-yq3qq]

you really want us to try get onto the front foot and out-class them with their pace and quality?

[@kpwand]

Jose will grind out results against the best teams and bully the smaller teams with superior player quality and tactical play. However, Spurs were way off it yesterday and Jose knows that. He likely did not believe that the back 4+2 could thwart Liverpool's attacking 2-3-5, and that the team could recover well in high transitions - Liverpool are just too quick and skillful and that's just how it is. Keeping it to 1-0 and saying that "a throw-in and a Lo Celso missed chance prevented them from beating Liverpool" is enough for him to galvanize his players for the remainder of the season and provide impetus to their cup runs. Jose's "grind'em out" style of football is likely still effective; Even Atletico play the same type of low block-counter football and have had a lot of success in recent years. His biggest problem is that Klopp and Pep are taking turns to ratchet up 98+ points season after season, so a team that finishes with: P38 W26 D9 L3 P87 doesn't win a league title any more. Jamie is right in that they are probably 5-6 players away - they have to find a few workhorses in midfield and replace their backline and goalkeeper. Son, Kane, Moura, and Alli are enough to win PL's and CL's.

[@kudos4201]

atletico have had an exceptional defense in recent years, and almost every player in the squad has solid defensive atttributes. if spurs regularly attempt the same style the outcome would be increasingly meager. we dont have the defensive quality to play such a style and retain success.

The warning was there when he didn’t buy anyone in the 2018/19 season. The first thing you do when losing in the Champions League Final is to listen to the manager and bring in those players he wants at the club to go one step further. We have a bunch of clueless old men running the club who no doubt have loads of dosh but haven’t got a clue where to spend it.

What matters is how they actually played, and I think Tottenham did a great job defensively and had some great opportunities going forward that they should have really put away. That's better than most sides have done against this Liverpool team, and should give them a bit of confidence which it's clear the side need. Ultimately I think people are being way too critical of what is a very young side under Jose, Klopp didn't build his Liverpool side in a few weeks. Lets see where things stand further into his time at Tottenham rather than jumping to conclusions.

[@saadusman6617]

Tbh when klopp came the liverpool side was mid table and worse quality wise than this spurs side plus mourinho has already managed in prem whereas when klopp came it was his first time in the prem so mourinho has not got much of an excuse

[@steven9169]

He took them half way through a season, most managers take a team the start of the season they get pre season and time before that to mess about with the players he had like 2 games to prepare before his first game yet nobody talks about this, people just hate mourinho 😂👍

[@Robbie--Baker]

Pochechino was already struggling. Think the team that beat Liverpool 4-1 about three seasons ago still had players in this weekends squad where as Klopp only had one. Theres been no progression under Pochs only backward steps. Its not Mourinos fault the state of the club but he'll get the blame

No, Mourinho did 100% the right thing and they know it, they just don't like it. What they are not factoring in is that Poch was pretty much all out of ideas by the time he left. Teams would come, sit deep, and we couldn't break them down. It was time for a different voice and a different strategy. I'm not saying it will work long term, but we were getting battered by the better teams. We weren't battered yesterday. As for the whole "they could have won the title", yeah but there's always another chance and we have to move on.

[@HolgerEggers-ib5qx]

As a spurs fan, I think we need to start playing with 3 CB's. When Conte first came and started playing 3 at the back, i thought it was quite strange and different, but now i love the idea of it. Spurs have struggled recently with results, and i think that a back 3 would suit them more than a back 4 would. having Toby, sanchez, and tanganga playing as 3 CB's would be solid. allowing the wing-backs to attack more and deliver crosses in without having to worry as much. just my opinion. but i'm not the manager, so I just support my club and hope for results. However, one cannot excuse the lack of signings. look i get that the stadium was just built and we're tight on money, but we can still be cheapskates as we have been for a while now. take punts on young, promising players, and players that are out of favour.

[@ikramulhaqdaneyal5267]

Spurs fans will have to decide whether they want trophies or 'good' football. Also, I disagree with Neville using City as an example for progressive football. Sure, not many teams are successful against City when dropping deep but their attacking talent is utterly ridiculous. They are probably the best at it and using an outlier to justify his argument is stupid.

[@AndersonOliveira-yd2nj]

Guardiola has lost games this season due to team playing that manner what is Neville talking about?

[@joegriffiths9163]

His point was that over the last 3 years it's not been an effective way of playing against City. Nearly every teams has tried to hit them on the break and City still amassed 198 points over two seasons, the only team to have a good record against them is Liverpool who play attacking against City. If you look at Liverpool with Klopp, most teams teams try to frustrate them and hit them on the break but in the last 18 months the only team that beat them was City and they did it by attacking and pressing Liverpool. Just to quickly go back to CIty, the counter attack has only been somewhat useful against them since they've had a centre back crisis. So his argument that sitting off teams to get points is gradually becoming less effective against the best sides in the league. So maybe, Jose Mourinho will have to adapt his style and become more aggressive to keep up with the points totals these teams as accumulating if he wants to win the title with Tottenham.

[@bareknuckles2u]

He said they won most, not all of their games. Listen up before you criticize!

[@Ghvxddf]

This isn’t what Mourinho needs, it’s what Spurs need. Poch worked miracles with that squad they were punching above their weight far too long. He said time and time again that they need investment but he didn’t get it until last season. The team has gone from the youngest average age in the league to an aging squad. Look at 4-1 when Spurs thrashed Liverpool at Wembley. Hardly any of that Liverpool team exists because Liverpool have gotten rid of their deadwood and evolved their squad. The Spurs team has been the same the past 5 years. It needs an overhaul but it’s now evident due to how many injuries they have. Rather than being reactive Spurs need to be proactive in the transfer market. I guarantee you once Spurs sign younger players they’ll go back to their high pressing style and playing out from the back. If you look at Jose’s first few games they were playing out from the back but he soon realised he doesn’t have the players to do it. Once he gets younger players in they’ll be able to press high but for now he has to just sit deep and hit teams on the counter because they have good attacking players

[@elizabethgalligan1805]

Everyone was saying he has a better team than he had at United. Mourinho himself said he was happy with the players and team he had at spurs. And he is still struggling. Mourinho left Solskjaer a poorer squad at United an he inherited from Pochettino at spurs. Mourinho won't win anything at Spurs!!

[@gossipopithecus]

do not worry, if he get a good player like Militao or Drogba plus Kane. Erickson will leave, change player number 8(he is not good enough to play for top 4 team), and get 2 proper midfielders - this team will be dangerous, because from defensive football to counter is the most plausible way. Liverpool win most games, because of fitness levels, not because they better set up tactically. Chelsea won Europa league by beating attacking football. Liverpool against Barcelona last year, pundits want to say that Liverpool was playing on front foot? They did not see the ball most of the time, especially first game. Tottenham in the final of Champions league final made a mistake going forward full force in the first 15 minutes.

Joe White it’s not that you’d get an improvement on Kane, but long term, just from selling Kane, Spurs can make 3 good signings for about 140-160m. Theo Hernandez: LB, hot prospect from Milan, in brilliant form. Probably could get him for 40m. Bruno Fernandes: very good, fairly young midfielder from Sporting Lisbon. Probably around 60m. Timo Werner. One of Germany’s best players at the moment. Has a release clause with a max of around 50m. Get him immediately. Just from selling Kane, you’d get these 3.
