Mourinho's muddled thinking in Chelsea defeat
In all facets of the game, Spurs were second best.
Defense
Mourinho picked three centre backs coupled with two defensive full backs (one of whom is an actual centre back). Consequently we had no go forward, no momentum, no press, no pressure. Special mention though to Hugo Lloris, our best player by far.
Midfield
Our midfield lacked energy, lacked guile and sadly lacked authority. Lo Celso showed glimpses of skill but Ndombele looks an absolute bust. £55m poorly spent. He is devoid of any energy off the ball. Spurs and Pochettino did not conduct due diligence on Ndombele's fitness, or lack of fitness.
Forwards
We had none. And what forwards we had kept running into blue jerseys.
Of all Mourinho's matches this was the most abject. Sadly it was abject before kick off.
For a Tottenham manager to lose twice to Chelsea in one season is not good enough. I fear this was a seminal loss, a loss which encapsulates all of Tottenham Hotspur's deficiencies both on and off the pitch.
Mourinho is right about one thing.
Roll on 1st July.
Too bad his players have also heard this. It does not augur well for the rest of the season.
