Mourinho had made 9 changes to the team that won 1-0 against Burnley on Monday. The move backfired as Tottenham put up a lackluster performance and endured their first away loss of the new season.
While Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies were the only players who retained their place in the team, Tottenham did have the likes of Gareth Bale and Dele Alli in the starting eleven.
However, the Englishman’s return to the first team did not go according to plans, and he was hauled off by Mourinho at the break, one of the four chances that Jose Mourinho made before the second half.
After addressing his post-match duties, Jose Mourinho posted a message on Instagram from the Tottenham bus, which was a photograph of him sitting disappointed. He wrote:
“Bad performances deserve bad results. Hope everyone in this bus is as upset as I am. Tomorrow 11 AM training.”
Even though Jose Mourinho did not name any of the Tottenham players, the message did not impress Arsenal legend Keown.

Martin Keown says Tottenham Hotspur players will be disappointed by Jose Mourinho’s message
Keown started by expressing his displeasure at the Tottenham manager’s decision to post the message. He also added that Jose Mourinho risked harming his own image in the process. He said:
The former Arsenal defender pointed out that the Tottenham players who were hauled off at the break would be hurting from the decision too.
Keown believes that the players would have preferred if Jose Mourinho expressed his displeasure in private.
