TOTTENHAM fans slammed their players and “MourinhoOut” started trending on Twitter during their horror start against Olympiakos.
New boss Jose watched on from the sidelines in despair as the Greek champs surged into a 2-0 lead after just 19 minutes in their Champions League clash.

But Mourinho’s side quickly fought their way back into the game, pulling a goal just before half-time through Alli and another almost immediately after the break from Harry Kane.
And they performed what at one stage looked to be the most unlikely of comebacks when Serge Aurier half-volleyed home a beauty and then Kane bagged his second of the game to win 4-2.
It is just Mourinho’s second game since he replaced Mauricio Pochettino who was ruthlessly sacked last week.
He had secured victory in his first game – a 3-2 away victory at West Ham, and confidence was high in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the game.
But that evaporated pretty much straight after kick-off, as Olympiakos took firm control of the Champions League clash.
First El-Arabi pinged home a 25-yarder after just six minutes, and then Borges Semedo moved the Greeks still further ahead.
Those goals led to Mourinho making a substitution after just 26 minutes – hooking Eric Dier off for Christian Eriksen.
Rivals fans poked fun at Tottenham’s perilous situation, and “MourinhoOut” was soon trending on Twitter.
But it was the players the gaffer had picked for the game who received the most stick.
Afolabi Abiodun wrote: “Tottenham players can’t seem to string 2 – 3 passes.”
Another added that it was the “players and not the manager that’s the problem”, in a clear reference that Pochettino wasn’t to blame.
This was a central theme to many tweets from angry Spurs fans on social media.
