"Step up your game Jose" - Many Spurs fans fume over Mourinho's decisions vs Chelsea

After losing to Manchester United, Jose Mourinho fell to another ex-outfit of his when Tottenham Hotspur welcomed Chelsea to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

The Blues were the better side and Frank Lampard outwitted the Special One to claim big three points after a comfortable 2-0 victory on the night.

And given Spurs’ standards were low throughout the game, many Spurs fans weren’t happy with Mourinho’s late substitutes and the decision to leave Tanguy Ndombele warming the bench instead of starting the game.

They were quick to vent their frustrations on social media and Twitter:

Bit late lads

75 minutes too late

Apart from just stating that this sub was too little, too late, the fans were also confused with the fact that Eric Dier got the nod in front of Ndombele in the first place.

According to them, Spurs’ new signing should’ve started the game or simply should’ve been introduced way sooner at Dier’s expense.

A true test for any Spurs fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?

Should have come on instead of dier at HT personally

Don’t understand how Dier starts every game over Ndombele

Step up your game José

Not saying he should’ve started bc he’s just come back from injury but should’ve been brought on waaaaay sooner.

Should of started

Finally, they were also not happy with the fact that Mourinho was making a defensive substitute this late on in the game instead of trying to turn things around by shifting to a higher gear.

Of course, one fan pointed out that, with Lucas Moura starting the game, the bench was bereft of any real game-changers and that was the Special One’s initial mistake.

But the way they were playing, not even a second goalkeeper would’ve helped them, as one fan also concluded…

Yes defensive changes good move

Just sub in our second gk, wont change anything

Lucas is an impact sub. Not a starting player. There’s no one on the pitch who could make an impression on this game #totche https://t.co/dQBTcEkwS4
