Jose Mourinho did not bite his tongue when asked about his decisions to record Gareth bale and Tanguy Ndombele in Tottenham Hotspurderby – loss to North London against Arsenal on Sunday.
The Welshman looked frustrated when he was withdrawn, but Mourinho made his mind clear.
“The only positives in the first half were the incredible goal and the score,” Mourinho said. ‘One-all was not a fair reflection of that first half.
“They dominated us. We were very poor. Some important players hid. I am just as guilty for the first half as they are.
“Intensity. Gareth and Tanguy, we need more intensity in our game. We need to push more, be more intense in the game. We needed [Moussa] Sissoko to give us the intensity that the midfield does not bring to me. ‘
