Tottenham behind the scenes: Summer transfers, sacking Jose Mourinho and that woeful defence

It was a disappointing return to premier League action for Spurs on Thursday night.

Tottenham enjoyed the majority of possession at Bramall Lane but did not do a lot with it as they went down to a 3-1 defeat to the Blades.

They were unlucky too, having a goal ruled out, that would have been the equaliser, having been 1-0 down, after Lucas Moura was controversially adjudged to have handled the ball as he was fouled ahead of Harry Kane tucking home the ricochet.

Thereafter, however, Spurs were not at the races, succumbing to a desperately disappointing defeat.

And reporter Rob Guest, who was present inside Bramall Lane, hosted a fairly heated Facebook Live outside the stadium after the press conference.

The heat came from the Spurs fans, who were left fuming by the display from Jose Mourinho's players.

And the subject of Mourinho's future at the club was high on the list of things the fans watching wanted to talk about.

Rob replied: "It's a bit too early it's 28/29 games, he's had an awful lot of injuries to key players, a hectic schedule when he first came in, but what he needs is a good amount of time on the training pitch with his players.

""[Mauricio] Pochettino alluded to the fact that he needed time and Mourinho needs time at the moment, I know results have been poor this season but looking at his past record at all the clubs he's been at he tends to win trophies and that's what Spurs need."

Guest was also asked about the Champions League hopes fading now, the defensive frailties and the club's summer transfer plans.
