Same applies to poor use of our fullbacks. Udogie and Porro are fast and Porro especially has a great cross in his armoury but this playoung of them as inverted fullbacks is not getting the best out of them.
We haven’t got a specialist defence coach afaik ,Jedinak does it and Mason the attacking.
quite interesting that he's outright said he expects to be in a title race this time next year. I'm trying to remember if any of our recent previous managers outright said similar. I know Conte literally laughed it off and said no.
Poch and mourinho i feel danced around it with riddles.
Coming out and saying it public must put a little pressure on the club to bring in the calbre of players to be in the mix for the title this time in 12 months.
Timo Werner made permanent, and some more cheeky frees/final year deals wont cut it.

Werner out for the rest of the season should hopefully put paid to that.
Must be putting pressure on Levy with a comment like that (Although I haven’t seen it for context). I wonder if already he’s getting signs he isn’t going to get what he wants this summer?
history tells us he most likely wont, will eventually get grumpy and the relationship will break down resulting in sacking when there's another bumpy patch like this one
It’s quite tiresome isn’t it.
But all the work we would do in open play could well be negated by being poor at defending set pieces.
Yes have seen that debate here. It has merit but my view is that EPL is still a tougher challenge for a manager:
There are 19 other clubs for a start, which is more than any of those other leagues. So even if the average EPL manager was the same standard as average SPL/JL/AL/NSL then it's tougher.
But then there's that the average manager salary in the EPL is around five times that of SPL/JL/AL which is likely to lift the average standard.
So I reckon it's a bigger challenge but I'm backing Ange to rise to it.
You’re a madman.
If you think Spurs winning the Premier league is any way relative to the leagues you’ve just mentioned you need to be sectioned.
Seriously. Look at what you are typing!!
Celtic. Playing in a two horse league.
Spurs. So far away from City it’s frightening.
What the fuck is relative about Spurs and Celtic?? They have won more titles in their history than Liverpool and United and City combined. (I think).
If we win the league next year I will change my name by deed poll to Angelos Aussie Adorer. Or Triple A to my friends.
When we don’t I expect all the fools on here expecting a premier league win to address me as Sir Knows What The Fuck he is Talking About
Ange's comments about Romero are very telling. He wants people to be calm and courageous in the face of our white knuckle football. Also not reacting to intimidation like Vicario sometimes does. That will be a long term project and he still needs new players who can do that. He's put this whole team under a stress test, hence the multiple injuries. We will need a couple of seasons to see if this experiment works.

If he got sacked or walked i literally dont know where the club could go. An elite level manager wants to compete for elite level things so that wont work again
A upcoming manager will eventually have ambition to compete for the biggest prizes so that wont work again
A manager who's just happy to be here is just going to drown straight away like nuno
Missing out on CL football will stop any big outlay so if he plans to make any sort of title challenge (even if it's a minor one) he has to get it.
Ange gets sodomized.
Probably only the second time this season though and the most enthusiastic by far. Pretty understandable frustration given who it was and the score - not a fan personally but like I say, understandable given the circumstances.
even when we were in the CL season after season we made no big outlays, just that one time post final with ndomble. Generally means nothing with this club.
being out of the CL for quite a stretch didnt really stop arse from spending big money on a rapist, Pepe, ben white, odegaard, jesus etc.
i wont let levy's mind tricks work on me, we'll see if the club has a crumb of ambition this summer. 2nd manager in a row who's putting pressure on them to win the big things though im sure Ange isnt as biting as Conte
Manager doesnt get what he wants in the summer, clearly disallusioned and gets the arse from the start of the season, a few iffy results, crowd starts to get on Levys back, sacked in November, new saviour comes in and does well for a bit, doesnt get what he wants in the summer.........We've all seen this film before.
You're missing my point about relativity.
I wasn't comparing Spurs to Celtic.
I was comparing the different LEAGUES and the available resources.
The bloke has gone to four different leagues and won silverware in his second year with them. How did he do that?
By assessing what teams he is up against and devising a system to beat them.
Why can't he do the same here?
I'll look forward to referring to you as AAA next season.
I genuinely don't see the logic in him saying improving set pieces won't improve us
