Pundit highlights major Mourinho errors in trying to ‘please’ Tottenham fans Jamie Redknapp believes Tottenham are suffering a huge dip in form because Jose Mourinho is trying to please the club’s fans. Spurs are currently looking a shadow of the side that topped the Premier League back in December. Mourinho’s side looked fatigued and lacking creativity as they were beaten 3-0 by in-form Premier League leaders Manchester City on Saturday evening. That defeat makes it just one win in six for Spurs in all competitions. The north London side were flying after a 2-0 home win over City in November. However, Redknapp says Tottenham look a completely different side now. “Tottenham were outclassed in so many areas,” Redknapp told Sky Sports. “They were top on December 15 and now they’re 14 points behind Man City. “When I look at the team that was top, a lot of people were talking about them being able to win the league, they’re loving the way they’re playing, a Jose masterclass, defensively sound and breathtaking on the break. “But when I see this Spurs side right now, it’s a shadow of that team. No pace going forward, Son is doing more defending than attacking and the way they’re playing right now, that almost feels like a Jose masterclass and they are really struggling. Tottenham were winning ugly “It almost feels like Jose is trying to make other people happy with the way he’s playing. When they were playing well at that stage, they were playing Moussa Sissoko and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and it wasn’t a joy to watch, but it was winning for them. “Now it’s like he’s almost trying to please the fans and it’s not working.
