This evening’s visit to Villa Park will test Mourinho’s bouncebackability, but perhaps it’s the Spurs players that should be more worried about the long-term consequences of that dismal result.

There is one small upside to that defeat: it gives them a chance to show a bit of the old bouncebackability.

“I remember SA cricketer/coach, Ray Jennings, using ‘bouncebackability’ at a few cricket coaching clinics in the early 2000s,” writes Ettiene Terblanche.

It was a former Southampton player, Iain Dowie, who added “bouncebackability” to football’s vocabulary.

In the other match, the madcap 3-3 draw at Chelsea, they showed micro bouncebackability by coming from 2-0 and 3-2 down.
