Losing a player in the forward line perhaps isn't as important as if they lost someone like Virgil van Dijk at the back.
As Divock Origi has shown over the years...
Liverpool do have a way of backing up their star players when they lose them in the forward lines.
I think Oxlade-Chamberlain will come into the team for the Norwich game and probably has a great chance of making a difference again.
Yeah, it's a bit strange, I suppose, to be talking about the return of Ben Davies, who is a solid yet unspectacular left-back, as potentially a season-defining moment for Spurs.
But Mourinho is adamant it will help his side become more tactically astute and play more...
more in the style that he wants to play.
Mourinho has used a number of players at left-back since Davis got his injury in November and hasn't really worked for Spurs so far.
Ryan Sessegnon isn't quite disciplined enough to play the way that Mourinho wants to play.
Jan Vertonghen doesn't look like the player he once was, unfortunately.
And he's also used a young guy, Tanganga, there in recent weeks too, but he looks like a centre-back.
So with Mourinho able to bring in Davis at left back, it allows him to play with a back four that can then switch to a back three with Davis tucking inside when Spurs attacks, which then gives the flexibility to allow Serge Aurier on the right-hand side to go and join the attack.
And that's sort of where his strengths lie, I think, when he's getting forward.
He's not everyone's cup of tea, is he, Aurier?
And he certainly divides opinion, but he does...
have all the tools to become a key player for Mourinho in that style that he's looking to put together.
He's got four assists in the Premier League this season, which is a decent return for a full-back, while he's created 24 chances for his teammates, which, of all the right-backs in the Premier League, only Trent Alexander-Arnold has created more.
So, yeah, with Aurier playing perhaps further forward and given a bit more protection the other way with Davis coming in on the other side, I think we might be starting to see what Mourinho is trying to build at Spurs.
Well, the only time that Mourinho's been able to pick Davis in his side, I think, was his first game in charge where they beat West Ham.
And they were really convincing that day.
