Mourinho calm plea

Lloris. Mourinho said: “Some people speak too much. Calm down, relax a little bit.

“Don’t speak too much. It’s speak, speak, speak. Relax. Don’t be so excited, calm down.

“I like the performance, independent of the result. If the result was 0-0, if it was 1-1, my feelings with the players would be the same. Every ball was like the most important ball of their career.”

Now it’s Mauricio Pochettino’s turn to come under scrutiny after Tottenham again failed to cope in the absence of Harry Kane.

Pochettino said: “You’re always going to miss your main striker... but it’s not an excuse.”
