Spurs fans were not shocked to see the difference between Jose Mourinho on his first day at the club compared to now after contrasting images were posted on Twitter.
The pictures were posted by LastWordonSpurs following Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough in the FA Cup third round, with the Portuguese manager certainly looking more worn down than he did after his appointment in November. The 56-year-old took charge of Spurs with the North London club languishing in 14th position and has helped them move within six points of a top four spot in his first six weeks in charge.
However, recent results; including losses against Chelsea and Southampton have meant that Mourinho’s side are beginning to be questioned. The former Manchester United boss has the added headache of a long injury list; which includes top-scorer Harry Kane and club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele.
Can Spurs still reach the top four?
Yes
No
Reaction from Spurs fans to the images of Mourinho can be seen in the tweets below.

I told you. Spurs will be the team that officially retires and ends the career of one of Europe’s top managers!

Aged 10 years in 6 weeks. Maybe that’s what working with Daniel Levy does to people

These Spurs fans clearly feel for Mourinho and will be hoping the club returns to form over the next few fixtures.
