According to the Evening Standard, Jose Mourinho is preparing a tactical masterclass for his squad’s match against RB Leipzig on February 19. The Standard’s report indicates that Mourinho was seen at the Allianz Arena as Leipzig held out for a 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich.
When Talking THFC shared this news on Twitter, Spurs fans were less than excited. They don’t have high expectations of a ‘Mourinho Masterclass’ and don’t believe they are in for anything special. Many fans think it will just be another variant of Mourinho’s patented bus-parking style. Their responses are full of humour, however, as they list all the different types of ways Mourinho could try parking the bus.

Do you think Mourinho's masterclass will be park the bus tactics?
Yes
No
What do we think?
Regardless of what the Spurs fans think, Mourinho is known for his success in knockout competitions. He has lost just two cup finals (discounting traditional domestic and European curtain-raisers) in his time as a manager. Hopefully, for Spurs fans, he shows his true class as he sets up for his first European knockout tie as the Tottenham boss.
