Former Spurs midfielder: “Pochettino could return to Tottenham as Mourinho is running out of excuses”

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara thinks Jose Mourinho is “running out of excuses” for Spurs’ poor form. Tottenham suffered their fourth back-to-back defeat in all competitions at home to Norwich on Wednesday. Tim Krul was the hero by saving two penalties as Norwich City beat Tottenham in a shootout after a 1-1 draw to knock out Spurs from the FA Cup. O’Hara believes Spurs still have enough strength in depth to get consistent results. He says that Mourinho should be trying to lift his players. “I’m getting a bit sick and tired of the excuses,” the ex-Tottenham midfielder told talkSPORT. “I’ve backed him over the fact he’s lost Harry Kane and Heung-min Son and he’s trying to find a way to win and it hasn’t quite happened. But the negativity and the mentality of, ‘let’s all feel sorry for us and we’ve got injuries, Moura wants to come off and Bergwijn wants to come off, let’s all feel sorry for Tottenham’ – NO! Come on! You need to get results and you need to pick it up, you’ve still got a good enough squad there to beat Norwich and to get results. “Now there are no excuses left for Mourinho. He was brought in to win a trophy but gets knocked out by Norwich in the FA Cup – it really puts the season into perspective with where we’re going. I don’t think they’re going to get through against RB Leipzig [in the Champions League last 16] either, so it could be season over by next week. He’s getting paid a lot of money and he’s got to be able to find results. “There’s still a very good squad of players at Tottenham and you need to find a way to lift them up and give them the confidence to believe they can go and win games.” When asked if former Spurs boss Pochetinno could be a candidate to replace Mourinho, O’Hara said: “Yeah, why not? Pochettino might come back, it’s been done before. He hasn’t got a job and he’s still loved by the Spurs fans, so potentially that could happen.”  Source: Goal Join us on Telegram!
