Spurs fans angry with Mourinho ahead of Chelsea clash

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans are not happy with manager Jose Mourinho ahead of this weekend’s London derby against Chelsea.

The north London club fell to a narrow defeat at home on Wednesday evening against Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League and many fans were not happy with the manager’s tactics and style of play.

The former Chelsea boss has guided Spurs to fifth place in the Premier League, meaning they are now just one point behind the Blues.

The reverse fixture earlier this season in the league at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw Frank Lampard’s side emerge victorious thanks to a Willian brace.

However, that match is mainly remembered for the controversy surrounding Heung-Min Son’s red card, as he was sent off for kicking out at Antonio Rudiger and for alleged racial abuse towards the defender.

Mourinho, we feel, may get a frosty reception on his return to Stamford Bridge and judging by these Spurs fans on Twitter, he’s not a popular figure in north London either at the moment.

Twitter: @SpursOfficial We looked totally unprepared, we are going backwards with this coach. We were playing crap even when… https://t.co/IuOiiO9oEx (@dexster55)

Twitter: @SpursOfficial Mourinho’s tactics are too old-fashioned. I think it’s better for Jan Vertonghen to play in the front line. (@evereyong)

Twitter: @SpursOfficial Just resign you’re not wanted at this club you fossil (@thrashmetalryan)

Twitter: @SpursOfficial Mourinho starting to throw his own players under the bus. He’s started earlier than expected. All downhill from here… (@MarkHussell)
