Tottenham’s chances of ending their trophy drought have probably decreased because of Jose Mourinho’s sacking. Love him or hate him, you can’t argue with his history in big finals and ability to get results in one-off games like Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.
Although there is an argument that certain players feel freer now Mourinho has gone, collectively the group will be less prepared to cause an upset, even though Harry Kane’s participation is probably an even bigger factor.
I’m pleased for Ryan Mason to have the chance to lead out Spurs, at the age of 29.
