Jose Mourinho was left to curse a congested fixture schedule yet again on Monday in what seems to be an annual event for the Tottenham boss.
You don't have to look that far back to find Mourinho bemoaning the organisation of the football calendar, but this year, he certainly has a point.
Spurs are in the midst of a hectic run of games that sees them play eight matches in the space of a 22 days, and next up is a Carabao Cup fourth-round clash against fierce rivals Chelsea.
