Lord Sugar slates Tottenham, wonders if Spurs man is ‘past his sell-by date’
Tottenham Hotspur have been described as “painful” to watch by Lord Sugar as Jose Mourinho’s charges were knocked out of the FA Cup on Wednesday night.
Spurs took on Norwich City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and broke the deadlock in the 13th minute through a towering Jan Vertonghen header, a lead they maintained at the break.
However, Josip Drmic equalised on the rebound with 12 minutes left after Tottenham goalkeeper Michel Vorm failed to hold on to Kenny McLean’s effort.
The game headed to penalties, where Norwich keeper Tim Krul once again showed his strong penalty-saving credentials to help his side into the quarter-finals at Spurs’ expense.
During the game, former Tottenham owner Lord Sugar was not impressed with what he was seeing, taking to Twitter to give his thoughts:
Sorry to say it is painful watching . 1-1 Norwich deserve it wont surprise me if they win 1-2

Before questioning whether Mourinho has still got it as a manager:
Is Jose Mourinho past his sell by date ?

TBR View:
Tottenham’s rotten run shows no signs of stopping, their losing run now stretching to four games.
Norwich are by no means a bad team, and when it comes to penalties, Krul is one of the best in the business, as he showed in the 2014 World Cup quarter-final win over Costa Rica ().
Nonetheless it’s not much of a consolation for Spurs, whose season is unravelling before their eyes, and by this point it’s surely a case of damage limitation for Mourinho and co.
