Game was postponed instead of cancelled. It is better this way as the financial impact on Leyton would have taken them under.

How it's not like fans will be at either game?

They would have been fined for the cancellation plus they would have not earned TV revenue in the process.

Funny the beef with Jose. Even the commentators were calling him archaic. We don hear. He is Tottenham's manager. Deal with it.

Shout-out for dropping Dele. We will see how he does in cup games. Fact is Dele can neither play as a box to box CM or as a winger. I fully expect us to sell him unless he develops the technique to be a backup to Lo Celso.. ...

Lol. But I thought there's something called 'form'. Wasn't it you that was on the Chelsea thread criticizing Lampard and advising him to keep playing Kepa due to his 'form' only being temporarily off? But you want Jose to drop and sell a player - Dele - who has a much longer proven track record in England abi? Hypocrisy is a biatch.

Major difference. Dele no longer fits in Jose's formation. He can't play as a Box to Box or as a forward. Kepa still fits in Lampard's formation.

For most of you, he fits in because of his wages.

i dont believe it was a formation thing. Dele is Mourinho's type of No10. The Oscar/Sneidjer type. Even in the documentary where Mourinho spoke to him privately, he literally told him he loved him as a player. Then you have the "Sir Alex story," Dele literally strolling in training and Mourinho warning him that he will regret his career.

Dele needed someone to be humbled. And this experience will humble anyone who has a brain. We will find out if Dele has a brain soon.

Hmm.. you guys may be getting someone who I think is one of the best CBs in Europe, on his day --

Dele perfectly fits Jose's formation perfectly ONLY if he ups his work rate. That's the only thing holding him back.

By the way more insight on Jose's philosophy is exhibited in the new Netflix docu series "the playbook". Jose's playbook for life is in episode 3.

I humbly disagree on Dele fitting Jose formation. Dele can't touch Lo Celso or Ndombele as a CM or a no.10. He can't pass very well. He also doesn't have the right attributes to be a winger with the counter attacking football Jose plays.

Jose uses his words to achieve his goals which is to motivate Dele. Recall that Spurs went on a nice run when Dele wasn't available last season.

The only way for Dele is to change his game if not it is curtains. I am personally surprised because I remember him from his MK days and also when he played CM with Winks against Real. I have an hypothesis that Dele needs a no.10 like Eriksen or Lo Celso to function well. He is not a playmaker. He is more of a raumdeuter like Muller.

I will check the Netflix series later.

Bros I humbly disagree. Dele can't touch Oscar or Sneijder as a no10. We too use to dance thinking dude had the ability. He doesn't. He is more of a Muller with off the ball movement and doing high risk short range passes or flicks.

He also needs a stronger father figure in his life to make him realise that he is no longer a kid and needs to mature. Else he will be more like Lingard / Jenas than Lampard / Gerrard.

On humility I honestly don't have any comment as I don't know. I see him as someone who should take life a bit more seriously and review those in his close circle. I will be sad if dude doesn't improve but my first priority is to Spurs.

Dele is not a 10. he is more of an 8.

However, Dele (as much as I despise him) has more talent in on finger than the sh1t worthless Oscar has in his whole body.

P.s-- your comparison of him to Muller (In terms of position) is a good one. Muller is clearly more intelligent, more hardworking, more responsible, more serious about life, a better player and has been able to adapt to the 10 role at Bayern easier because of that.

You seem not to realise that Mourinho will need to play different formations throughout the season as well as deal with injuries, suspensions and losses of form. A fit and motivated Dele is a huge asset to any club and it is up to the manager to solve the conundrum. If Dele can go off to PSG or another high profile club on loan why should he stay and allowed himself to be publicly humiliated by Mourinho? The problem with Mourinho is that he only knows one way of motivating players which is to humiliate them and challenge them to prove him wrong

The clash has been serialised by German news outlet Bild, with Ozil claiming the pair squared up ‘like boxers’ as the Special One branded him a ‘coward’.

Ozil, who had thrown his Real Madrid shirt to the floor, wrote: “[Mourinho shouts]: ‘You think two beautiful passes are enough… you think you’re so good that 50 per cent is enough’.

“He pauses. Stares at me with his dark brown eyes. I stare back. Like two boxers at the stare-down before the first round.

He shows no emotion. Just waits for a response from me. How much I hate him right now. And I love Mourinho actually.

“[Mourinho adds}: ‘Oh, are you giving up now? You’re such a coward. What do you want? To creep under the beautiful, warm shower. Shampoo your hair? To be alone?

“‘Or do you want to prove to your fellow players, the fans out there, and me, what you can do?’”

Ozil chose the shower!

Mourinho has a record of losing the dressing room at most clubs he has managed, he needs to show that he has learnt from previous experiences.

[Its a Goal]

Spurs with the initial dominance.

Lamela opens the scoring.
