Jose Mourinho wants the same “noise” to be generated by VAR controversies when they go for and against his Tottenham side, with Giovani Lo Celso sparking another debate against Chelsea.

Mourinho is eager to avoid being dragged into discussions regarding VAR as the “human error” on show in a meeting with Chelsea has worked in his favour and against him in 2019-20.
The Portuguese told reporters when quizzed on the Lo Celso incident: “I hope the noise is the same [from Stockley Park] as when the VAR kills us.
“The same as when Liverpool and [Andy] Robertson should have got a red card. The same as [Etienne] Capoue at Watford which should have been.”
In brushing off a possible dismissal for one of his players, Mourinho was eager to turn attention towards the lack of firepower he has at his disposal.
Harry Kane and Heung-min Son have suffered untimely injuries, with Spurs lacking the options possessed by many of their rivals.
“Look at Chelsea: they played a World Cup-winning striker up front (Olivier Giroud), England’s second striker on the bench (Tammy Abraham), and Belgium’s second striker (Michy Batshuayi) in the stands,” said Mourinho.
“We had no strikers on the pitch, no strikers on the bench and two in the hospital.”
Mourinho added to BBC Sport: “I think you are going to be very bored with me, because I think I'm going to be very repetitive. I'm going to say exactly the same words I told against Leipzig.
“I'm very proud of the players, they gave absolutely everything. We don't have a striker. Our attacking players are not strikers and are in huge levels of fatigue, so very, very difficult for us. No tactical problems, [we were] completely in control of the space, punished by a couple of individual mistakes.

he was loud for not sending Rahim at that time....
this was on purpose but no one spoke about it except for mourinho.the lo celso incident was an accident,azpli came sliding in from behind and lo celso didn't see him and he had his leg lifted already and had to place it on azpli who was right under him

And why didn't Spurs buy any strikers?? instead it went for wingers...2 of them and leaving no space for a new transfer to decrease a burden from Son

Jose go back to punditry, too many excuses as a manager. You saw your team commit an injustice against another team and are still trying to be the victim, sad...
no one was speaking for Spurs when Sterling did the same on purpose to dele.this time lo celso didn't even see azpli sliding from behind and was surprised and the leg he had already lifted had to land on azpli who was right below him.
