Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to react after some old footage of Jose Mourinho emerged, which doesn’t reflect well on the Tottenham boss.
After the former Real Madrid manager played down Liverpool’s injury crisis on Tuesday, a Liverpool fan dug up a clip of Mourinho.
It starts with the Spurs boss telling the media that he ‘never’ speaks about injuries and doesn’t ‘cry’ about injuries either.
Then, the footage proceeds to show Mourinho speaking at length about injuries, in what is quite damning evidence of hypocrisy.
How the Liverpool fan in question found the clip remains to be seen, although it’s clear that the supporters didn’t like what he said and wanted to find some form of revenge.
There wasn’t much wrong about what Mourinho said, in our view.
He simply stated that the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and other key players weren’t injured, using that as evidence to say there is no crisis.
However, while those players are fit, football nowadays is a squad game, and it is vital to have your backup options healthy.
Yes, Salah, Mane and Firmino are fine. But Diogo Jota isn’t. Virgil van Dijk isn’t. Joe Gomez isn’t.
With Liverpool challenging in the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this term, their lack of depth can certainly be considered a crisis.
