Garth Crooks has written on BBC Sport that he does not think that the Tottenham Hotspur players are fighting for head coach Jose Mourinho.
The former Tottenham forward, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, has suggested that Spurs conceding eight goals in two games shows that Mourinho does not have full control of the dressing room.
Crooks thinks that the Spurs payers are not fighting for him and are not united in their cause.
Tottenham suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League at the weekend following a 5-4 loss at the hands of Everton in the FA Cup.
Crooks wrote on BBC Sport: “As for Spurs, Jose Mourinho is convincing no-one when he tries to tell Tottenham fans that his team are fighting for him, or united in a cause, when they have conceded eight goals in two games.”
Staying positive
No one can say for sure how Tottenham players feel about Mourinho at the moment.
However, Spurs fans should stay positive. True, performances and results in recent weeks have not been great, but Mourinho is a world-class manager who knows how to get the best out of his players.
It must be remembered that Tottenham are still very much in the running for the Premier League top four this season.
Spurs will play in the EFL Cup final and could go on to win the Europa League as well.
The North London club are going through a bad spell, but now is not the time to give up.
