Mourinho gives seal of approval to Tottenham star: ‘I’m happy with him’
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho’s support for Joe Rodon after his blunder against Liverpool on Thursday could prove to be an inspired piece of man-management. Rodon’s indecisiveness allowed Sadio Mane to score a crucial third goal for the Reds and ended Spurs’ hopes of getting back into the game. However, the 23-year-old has largely been impressive when called upon by Mourinho and he will retain his place against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday. “Next game he plays for sure,” Mourinho told football.london. “He showed good personality, good concentration, was good on the ball. For me, his performance was very, very good, very solid. He made one mistake. Unlucky that it leads to their third goal, the goal that basically ends the game. “When I have a player who makes one mistake,...
