I think a case of Ange believing his own hype happened here. That was an arrogant line up. The media and fan love in has been utterly ridiculous since he’s been here. Got singers that dont even support spurs making songs about him.

We’ve been humbled a bit. Lessons learned. Move on. Put out our best team saturday and ABSOLUTELY demand that transfer shopping list to Daniel Levy before this window ends.
 
I think Ange knew exactly what he was doing tonight!

He effectively forfeited the CC to highlight the requirements before the window shut.

I don’t believe for a second it was naivety.
You don't fucking sacrifice a cup for that shit.

Get in Bald cunt's face and dig him tf out on the reality of the squad.

Do it early and get a feel for what you'll be dealing with going forward.

Don't throw a fucking cup; one of which we haven't won in forfuckingever, with high risk passive aggressiveness.

Don't come here and do that.

Totally fucked off.

He's brought the style of footy I love, but can leave shit like this, out.

I'm as disgusted as that fucking kit is disgusting.

What?

What am I supposed to do with this post? If we got relegated back in the dark days? What are you on :confused:

I hate to break it to you but we're not in the dark days and we haven't been relegated, neither of those scenarios are relevant to our stance now, shit example.

How can you call it utter lunacy that team who is an established top 6 team in the entire fucking country not to expect to win a fucking trophy, that should always be our expectation going into the season, what kind of pathetic mentality do you have?

Let's break this down.

Only a single team can win a trophy. If we are indeed a top 6 team, that would suggest we are the 6th best team in the country. Why would you expect to a win a competition that there are 5 teams better than you? You can HOPE, but not expect. If you genuinely expect to win a trophy it just suggests you are a bit too impassioned and non objective.
 

"[The League Cup] is my priority but there is no European football, so how am I going to find out about our players?" Postecoglou said afterwards.

"What opportunity would I have to do that other than the game? They are all part of our club. We thought they'd be able to bring a different energy tonight, and that doesn't mean the cup or any game isn't our priority.


"From my perspective, we're very much at the discovery stage so we need to find out and give the players the opportunity to contribute. Because that's why they're here - they're not just here to make up the numbers. They keep working hard and deserved the opportunity to go out and play tonight.

"Obviously I'm disappointed with the outcome. We weren't at our fluent best particularly early on which was not surprising considering the amount of changes I made. A lot of the boys tonight, it was their first start of the season.


"We lacked cohesion and fluency. But I really liked the way we hung in there. There are many different ways to grow as a team and we showed some real character tonight. To hang in there and we had our moments in the second half to maybe go and win it. We weren't able to get over the line and lost on penalties."
 
Just listened to anges interview on spurs play - he had the nerve to defend the team selection and their performance / seriously ? I saw no ange ball tonight - no cohesion no pressing no energy no front foot football no excitement was more like a conte master class in shite boring football - being loyal is one thing but if he seriously thinks a performance like that is acceptable he is doomed
Ange's loyalty to his players is paramount.

Whatever he says to them in private, you'll never know... but he will not bag them in public.

What sort of side did Fulham send out? Full strength, or rested a few?

Get a grip!

We had a disjointed preseason as far as competitive games went.

How was he supposed to make an assessment in a competitive environment?

Would you rather he played some of the second string in the first three league games and we lost those?

I’d take an early CC exit if it means getting in two or three quality players and the dross moved out before the window shuts.

Oh, good news!

Which "two or three quality players" is Daniel Levy in the process of buying?

About 6 of the team that started against Woolwich started tonight / don’t see how that is relevant - the performance tonight was shocking / fair enough he can say selection was on him and the poor performance was due to him instructing the players to play as they did - but to say that was an acceptable performance is not ok because it was turgid unambitious boring football
 
You do not make NINE changes away to PL opposition when beforehand you state that you are making changes to win the game. He wanted to give a bunch of players a run-out and surprise, surprise 11 strangers served up insipid, disjointed shite.
