Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So many times today I shouted “just kick the ball don’t play with it.” But I’m glad Ange insists on it even with all the risk. Proper football we are playing. In just 3 fucking months.
 
I don't want to hear any excuses from other managers saying they need time and money to get their ideas across to their players, what we have seen with Ange is that he needs neither just to get his team playing. He's put a lot of managers to shame including our previous ones in the way he's got his team playing after a short amount of time. That's what's so impressive - it's as if Kane never existed and he's given the players an air of responsibility and it shows - he's a top manager.

And to top it off, he scrubs up pretty well in a suit and tie.
 
Like the way he handled the penalty.

Knows he’s not getting anything from officials this year so just says he doesn’t understand the rule, when really he means that was a fucking ridiculous decision.

We haven’t had a decent ref yet
 
Ange is something else. We had a terrible pre-season, Kane left days before the first game of the season. His new starting CB arrived days before the first game, basically an entirely new starting 11.

The man has already got us outplaying this Arse "title challenger" team. He's delivering style and results on the pitch and boatload of class off it.

Personally, I think if you ask Ange, the pre-season was probably perfect for him in terms of squad harmony and building what we see now.

Ange spent the bulk of it on the training ground seeing who was cut out for it and who wasnt. And then we had a week where we travelled and played some games in the middle of it. Whilst not having to travel to 5 different countries in the process like some teams.
 
Considering the mess he came into a remarkable performance so far, certainly the most impressive managerial performance I have seen at the start in all my years supporting us.

Long way to go but we might have hit the jackpot. So glad he came to Celtic otherwise you wonder if he would have come here, would we really have employed someone from the Japanese or Aussie league had they not gone through Celtic or another club in Europe.
 
Off the back of a season where he looked completely shot, a pre-season where he still looked completely shot and league games where he looked completely shot. And on Saturday, he tried but failed. So really, 1 game in a while where he really made a massive impact. Am i wrong to still be concerned? I don't think so.



Maybe Ange is going to do what not many other coaches in world football do and make a captain a non-guaranteed starter?
Did not age well.
 
Still buzzing from today. Wanted banter with their fans but they all fucked off from my local within seconds of the final whistle.
Ange really has gatecrashed the party.
Great bloke.
Great manager.
Levy needs to make sure this guy is given the tools. He’s already shown he can do the business.
I enjoyed a NLD for the first time in a very long time.
 
This guy is an absolute top manager, really is brilliant, compared to the 3 idiots that have went before he absolutely knows exactly what he wants and how he wants to do it
 
press conference when someone asked him about the "honemoon phase" he was like "how shit is your honeymoon? I had a shit pre-season and a club legend left... etc. etc. thats not a honeymoon, my honeymoon was great" You can find it on youtube.
 
I swear I've never been so captivated by a manager.

When Madders lost that ball there all I could think of was the Ange quote where he said he was pleased his CB lost possession cos it showed his team were being brave.

I'm fully lapping it up, there is not a more romantic approach to football games.
I genuinely think he will change football on a wide level. When any new paradigm comes in, it always appears so obvious and we wonder why we never thought of it before.
