Jose was clueless because this Liverpool isn't like the teams he faced in the past that he got joy against, we're an efficient machine and shitshousery won't work against us because we've also got shitshouse players ourselves.
It's the biggest disparity in quality that Mourinho has ever had to manage when playing us. Maybe his last game as United manager was similar.
I'm not Mourinho's biggest fan but to be honest I thought his tactics were what you'd generally expect for most teams when playing Liverpool. Whilst on any given day there are many teams who could beat us, in essence there's only a handful of teams who probably wouldn't change their game plan significantly to try and negate us. Tottenham aren't one of those teams. To be fair probably only City fit into that bracket in the Premier league and would still have a fair chance of beating us.
For Mourinho to set Spurs up to sit deep, deny us space and look to keep the game close up to 75 minutes was a perfectly reasonable tactic. This was always going to be Spurs plan (as it is so many other teams in this league). Look to hit on the counter in the 1st 70 but try to keep it close so they could try and grab something the last 10-15 with options off the bench. The fact that they kept it to 1-0 always gave them a chance. Partly due to our play in the final 3rd but also due to the way they were organised.
Let's get it straight we were deserved winners but Spurs were in the game until the final whistle. Given the disparity in quality between the teams I don't see how you can say they were 'clueless' tactically.
