What I Predicted About Mourinho And His Return To The English Premier League; My Thoughts And Reassessment

After watching Jose Mourinho's talk to the press during their draw against championship side Middleborough it seems to me as if I've been right all along about the return of Mourinho but it's coming too early in just Under 3 months as Tottenham manager and I'm really worried as to what Daniel Levy the chairman of Tottenham might be thinking. I think it hasn't really been good and it's controversy upon controversies, Spurs aren't playing good football and the attention is more on VAR and Referees and I think this is taking Mourinho's attentions off the real reason why he was appointed at White Hart Lane. In the match against Middleborough he complained about the match ball being too light and how Ashley Fletcher's goal was offfside. I believe the officials have made their decision and this isn't even the biggest robbery in the history of VAR so talking about this goals being offside will only make him an EPL villain and nothing more.

About his yellow card during the Southampton game by Mike Dean, I really think this is an issue of concern; so it seems Jose Mourinho heard something about him from the Southampton goal keeper coach Andy Sparks and he went over to him to whisper something, now the media isn't reporting that there's a beef between Mourinho and the Southampton's goal keeper coach, the Media is outrightly saying that Mourinho went over to spy at their tactic books meanwhile a reply of the incident clearly shows that Mourinho is angry with Andy Sparks and he went over to decimate his grievances as well. In truth Mourinho is doing a terrible at management because he's not managed at all himself, this business of football comes With all this kinds of controversies really and when you as a coach cannot even keep it cool and play the game of football, it makes me doubt the purpose as to why he took the job in the first place.

Firstly I predicted the Portuguese will eventually bring his theatrics to Tottenham and Daniel Levy knows this, Truth is, his abilities to coach a team isn't under contention, what's under contention is how he does it well. Mourinho is awefully predictable, I'm comparing his to Frank Lampard because these two hasn't added anything tactically to how Tottenham and Chelsea plays respectively. Tottenham isn't playing defensive football neither are they playing attacking football all I see are a bunch of psyched up players commiting fouls, brewing hot temper but were better organised tactically under the former manager who they disgracefully removed. I hated to be right about Mourinho but here we are and it didn't even take long at all. My assessment on him is that he's brought the villianous side of him to the table and he's laying blames everywhere as to why Spurs aren't doing so well.

Like Maurizio Sarri Tottenham and Mourinho doesn't have a plan B, Mourinho hardly studies to game so as to play to the strength of the squad. Christian Erickson is one of the most dangerous player in the Tottenham team and even in the EPL from 35 to 40 yards out now where is that magic? Dele Alli was a Prodigy under Mauricio Pochettino, Harry Kane came into the spotlight because of the faith Pochettino had in him. Jan Vertonghen was onced one of the best defenders in the EPL and valued at €70 million by Real Madrid and Barcelona Fc and even Chelsea were fighting for his signature but now I'm not sure he'll go for up to 40 million. I know its to early to judge Mourinho, but he was employed to turn Tottenham into a trophy winning team and he was employed because he was a proven winner. At 56 he's become really proud and self aggrandizing this could have been the peak of his career after it's dwindled with failures at places like Manchester United. The man is forgetting what's at stake and I'm thinking he won't last a year at Spurs should it continue this way.

Hello bro, its belemo here(the Jos guy) and this is my sports account.
I actually predicted it would come this early. The man is out of his depths and old school. He doesn't want to change and does the same thing over and over again. SPurs made a huge mistake in employing him
