I agree. I see some saying Richy is no good... but I'll reserve judgement until his philosophy is embedded. Brentford defended very well and they are no mugs at home. It reminds me of the period after Poch had settled. His football was dominant against most teams and we struggled to breakdown defensive teams. I think Ange's system can eventually overcome this, but he's completely right, it requires more movement, directness and speed from the players who have advanced into the final third.He didn't think like that though. Focuses more on the system than individuals.
I thought Richy was good today. Always had a man on him. Two at times. Our wingers needed to be better today imo.
Plus they played with 12 men for the first half18 shots, almost 70% possession and more touches in the opposition third than in any game last season. And it's just the first game.
They had 11 men on the edge of their box for almost the entirety of the last 30 minutes.
Not a bad start IMO.
I like his criticism of the referee.
Who the hell thinks that is a "mis-step"? What is wrong with that joke? Postecoglou has not stepped a foot wrong since arriving and has been the one consistent bright spot for us.His only mis-step (for us) so far has been the joke about his wife spending 'his' money.
Loved our high defensive line the last 10 minutes.
The Romero sub due to a 'clerical error' was the cherry-on-top for that lot of "referees" today.

He just seems such a perfect fit (so far)He has a proper “Tottenham Hotspur” vibe about him. It’s about time we had another manager who gets “us”

I’m a 45 year old man and when he left for you I felt like I had been dumpedThanks, you guys have been probably right about Ange, early days but he seems really good. So much negativity at this club since Poch left, finally nice to see attacking football again.
