‘Didn’t make sense to me’ – Jermaine Jenas fuming with what Mourinho did vs Everton
Tottenham Hotspur started the new English Premier League campaign on a dismal note, suffering a 1-0 loss at the hands of Everton at home yesterday. The visitors were the better team from start to finish, with their new midfield additions proving too much for Spurs to handle. Jose Mourinho’s side appeared to lack a game plan and they struggled to break down a resilient Everton backline. The match ended goalless at half-time, and the Tottenham boss decided to shake things up for the restart, replacing Dele Alli with Moussa Sissoko. The substitution didn’t yield any result as the hosts found themselves a goal down 10 minutes into the second-half, and BBC MOTD2 pundit and former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas believes that the Portuguese’s decision didn’t make sense. “Most of the time whe...
