Paul Robinson: 'Jose Mourinho not under pressure at Tottenham Hotspur'

Ex-Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson does not feel that Jose Mourinho is under any pressure despite a recent run of underwhelming results and performances.

Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson does not believe that Jose Mourinho is under any pressure in North London.

The 58-year-old has divided opinion in most of his managerial ventures and has come under heavy criticism for his perceived negative style of play in recent weeks.

Spurs managed to end a three-game losing run in the top flight on Sunday by beating West Bromwich Albion 2-0, and Robinson has claimed that Mourinho's overall impact on the club has been positive.

Speaking to Bookmakers.co.uk, the former England shot-stopper said: "Not having fans in stadiums has hugely affected football, not only results but all sorts of other things.

"An empty stadium can work in a manager's favour without the fans but I honestly don't think Jose is under any pressure whatsoever.

"If there was a full stadium watching them against Chelsea, considering how deep they sat, there would be a few more murmurs of unrest about the way they play.

"But when you look at the job he's done overall, the squad that he has amassed, his time in charge has brought improvements.

"OK, it's a different Spurs and there are question marks over some of the results and performances, but you're always going to get that along the way. When you look at his tenure as a whole, I don't see him as being under pressure at all."

Mourinho's Tottenham have slipped out of the title race in recent weeks and now find themselves eighth in the Premier League table - four points adrift of the Champions League places.

The Lilywhites temporarily turn their attention to the FA Cup when they travel to Everton for the fifth round on Wednesday evening.
