Mourinho Not Happy With Players Performance

Jose Mourinho was not very happy with what he saw from his Spurs team against Bayern Munich and now has a greater understanding of the weakness of the squad outside the core members.

Christian Eriksen once again demonstrated he can't be bothered and doesn't want to be at Tottenham. He might say all the right things but the proof is in the pudding. There are no excuses for his performances, 100% commitment is a basic and he doesn't even meet that criteria.

He played as an attacking midfielder usually or forward and was captain of the Dutch national team that lifted the UEFA Euro 1988. He also won the 1990 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1992.

He played and managed Chelsea and was the assistant manager of the Dutch side too. Gullit has also worked as a pundit and was watching the Bayern Munich vs Tottenham Hotspur game for Bein Worldwide.

Gullit explained Jose Mourinho's comments at the end of the game and gave an insight into what a manager or head coach is looking for in a dead game.

"Yes that he's not happy at all with what he saw. We saw also a Tottenham who was not
doing anything, not much.

 
"He was looking at the players who were playing there. Were they're playing with a hundred percent or they were playing with 90 or 80 percent?

"That was the information that he got. That information he's gonna use. That is a conclusion, I tell you.

"And he is gonna use it for the couple of months that's coming for sure.
To the comment that maybe Eriksen was one of those giving 80%, maybe not committed in the key moments.

"You saw it. He thinks to himself, OK. so you are the ones who are moaning all the time that you don't play, OK, now you got a chance so show it.

"So that is the conclusion. He doesn't want to lose and he gave them I think an opportunity to play and he wanted to see, for the rest of the season, OK who was the one I can trust who is the one if I need him, I can put in. That is what he wanted to see.

"And I don't think he was very happy with what he was seeing, no not at all and I think that he
made his conclusion. Maybe not a conclusion for definite but he knows who he can count or not."

Comments after the game suggest Mourinho was pleased with what he saw from Juan Foyth, although he wasn't pleased with the freekick he gave away on the edge of the area.

He also felt Sessegnon has a lot to learn. I fail to see why journalists have been saying he had a good game, he didn't. He scored a goal and was pretty poor after that.

He made no impact without the ball and was easily bullied of it. He doesn't know how to use his body Mourinho pointed out and lost the majority of the challenges he was involved in.

Mourinho knew that from the training ground but it was brutally exposed during the game.
