Mourinho criticises Tottenham players for 'lazy pressing'

Jose Mourinho criticised his Tottenham players for "lazy pressing" in the defeat to Everton and questioned their fitness.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's superb second-half header gave Everton an impressive opening away win against Tottenham on Super Sunday.

Mourinho's Tottenham were "lifeless, flat" and "walking around the pitch sulking" for large chunks of the second half, said Sky Sports' Gary Neville on commentary, with Spurs registering just nine tackles to Everton's 18, and Harry Kane touching the ball only twice in the Everton box.

Mourinho could not hide his frustration with the performance, highlighting his team's lack of intensity without the ball in the final third as a key component in the defeat.

He told Sky Sports: "The struggle started in the way we pressed or, I will say, in the way we didn't press because our pressure up was very poor".
