Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has defended Jose Mourinho’s record despite his old club’s poor run of recent form.

On Sky Sports, Redknapp feels that the club’s problems run deeper than Mourinho, who has so far been unable to turn the season fully around.

He said: “Tottenham , they’re going through a funny little, well quite a long, spell when you look at it. The last 25 games with Poch in charge the form was for whatever reason, they were going along so well and then suddenly that big run of bad form. And the form at the moment has been up and down too really.

“Jose has gone in there, we know his record, it’s incredible, but no-one’s got a magic wand and at the moment it seems the team just doesn’t look right. Bad result the other day at Southampton, a couple of iffy performances, lucky to get away with it at Norwich.”

TBR’s View – Mourinho beginning to lack ideas and identity

Mourinho’s side used to have a clear identity and his ideas on the game were simple and clear. At Tottenham, he has failed to add any discernible improvements to his squad.

It’s true that they were struggling under Pochettino but Mourinho’s honeymoon period is over but there is still not much evidence of how he is going to try and take the club forward.
