I just watched back Mourinho's matches with Spurs, and I came t the conclusion that he is not finished yet, he could well be a better manager than he was before, but it depends on the tactics he decided to implement .
Mourinho used a 4-2-3-1 formation during his first few matches at Spurs, which was quite lopsided and turned to more of a back three while attacking. Aurier pushed up very high while Ben Davies pushed back to give defensive support to the CBs
Son advanced into higher areas while Lucas drifted inside, with Kane and Alli as target men. This tactic meant Spurs were deadly in attack, with both long balls and crosses very effective as with counter attacks, but they were prone to conceding goals.
After injuries to Son, Kane, Bergwijn, and Sissoko Mourinho had his hands tied and he lost his original game plan. While the lopsided 4-2-3-1 is very deadly and a high risk, which depends on his star players being healthy, Spurs could challenge for the title possibly under Jose.
We will see if Mourinho sticks to his over defensive game plan or decides to go all out attack with nothing to lose. Spurs are not built to park the bus like Chelsea and Inter did before, and Mourinho will have to keep in mind that with an attacking gameplan this team is deadly.
Spurs possible best XI when.the season resumes
RB is an issue as Aurier is decent going forward but a defensive liability. Diogo Dalot or Max Aarons has been mooted as possible summer targets but for now Moussa Sissoko can fill that role.

Lucas is a very talented player but is he a starter for Spurs? Not too sure with Bergwijn arriving. His work rate means that he gets worn out quickly, but as a impact sub he would inject energy and pace into his side when opponents are tired. This is the best way to use him imo.
