@steve.kimani95: The Omission: Danny Rose was left out of the matchday squad for Tottenham’s 0–0 Premier League draw against Watford on January 18, 2020. Frustrated by his lack of playing time, Rose confronted manager José Mourinho in his office at Hotspur Way. He demanded an explanation for why he was being left out and expressed his belief that he was being treated unfairly. The tense conversation, later featured in Amazon Prime’s All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur, saw Rose make his frustration clear. He told Mourinho that if the manager did not want him to play, he would rather stay at home and train. Rose also threatened to take the matter directly to chairman Daniel Levy. Mourinho explained that his team selections were based on form and defensive performances, pointing to the emergence of players such as Japhet Tanganga as part of his reasoning for leaving Rose out. The confrontation highlighted the growing tension between Rose and Mourinho. Shortly afterward, Rose joined Newcastle United on loan for the remainder of the 2019–20 season, bringing an end to his increasingly difficult spell at Tottenham under Mourinho.
