What would you know about what it takes to be a winner. You support spurs remember
Last season we had a dedicated set pieces coach and were one of the best teams in the league at defending set pieces.
This season Ange had this to say about set piece coaching.
When asked whether he would consider hiring a specialist to work on offensive and defensive set-pieces, the Australian said “I’ve never had a specific set-piece coach. I’ve always had someone who’s responsible for that.
“I always think it’s better if that’s somebody who’s a part of the coaching staff because then that’s an extension of how we play our football. I don’t separate set pieces from everything else we do, in terms of the team we want to be. It all hopefully links in.
“Here we’ve split the roles between Mile [Jedinak] and Ryan Mason in terms of attacking and defensive set-pieces and they put a lot of work into it with the analysis staff. I’m sure every club does. Some have gone down the specialised route which I understand."
Tells you everything really doesn't it? Failure on set pieces this season is a direct result of the managers opinion on set pieces.
Same manager who said today that previous results against Newcastle don't matter when it comes to tactical analysis.
It's all a bit "run abaat a bit" isn't it?

I reckon we'll finish sixth
It’s not just the erratic finishing, he doesn’t have a lot of skill to take the ball in crowded areas or beat a man. Average
Still haven't denied it.
You forgot Donald Duck & spongbob square pants as well
if we are consistent;ly playing like that every match -- then we are trained to play like that??
i,e, that is the play System
But weve seen it this season already stiil no change
Yes not for me I'm afraid, same old problems, different players and management.
I don't get Ange ball at all, doesn't harm anyone, pass it around with no end product.
Sick to death, of this underperforming club, nothing ever changes, especially the performance levels.
Were a wage thief club. Players join us, get a nice payday, inyernational call up, europe. Thats the limit. No intention of going for titles, thats too big for us. Repeat every season.
Sell madders. Been shit this season.
Son is finished
Sarr overrated
Bissouma is a joke
I can go on

Say we aren't then. Even if we did beat Villa 4-0 but don't go and use that as an excuse to suck them off.
Nope, he believes in his system and will continue
There is not one fan who is “pathetic” or responsible for this. It’s the owners / board and the coaching staff who are responsible for this. It’s a top to bottom issue. Failure is acceptable. There is nothing that happens of any longevity when these kak shows occur.
Ange is not a serious football manager and we are not a serious football club. And that seems just fine at the top levels.
