Dude, that was a couple of people.It's not tinpot to not want it.
It's tinpot to be cheering it. Doing a Poznan. Abusing our own manager for not telling the team to graciously allow City through to score.

Currently I'm out of the UK on holiday, got talking to a Celtic fella here around bar.
He was saying that, he got away with high line and open football in, Japan, Australia and in the Scottish league.
But doubt's it will work in a more competitive league like the EPL, I have had these doubts as well, just interesting to hear what others think.
But I agree with Ange on wanting to win, but then why set your team up to be so open and naive.
Think we need to see how the first 10 games of next season go, if it's more of this open, naive football, along with poor set piece defending it then might be time for a change.
Yep, there isn’t the need to forensically dissect every word.This game, Ange's comments and many of the posts on the City thread are best and undoubtedly will be forgotten.
Ok then I'm talking about those couple of people.
the league table since the Chavs fiasco makes grim reading, defintiely sackable form.I have had these doubts as well, just interesting to hear what others think.
It's a shame Ange wasn't there in 1971, or 2004, or at Upton Park during Lasagnegate ...
Or in the presence of ANY Gooner rubbing it in your face ever in you life!
He's lucky, Mate... He's only had Sydney Utd, or Yokohama Warriors fans to have to go to work with on a Monday morning after a chastening defeat....
Not the same ball park...
Not even the same field...
NOT EVEN THE SAME CONTINENT.... MATE!
Spurs fan or not, he’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer!O'Hara is a troll, he's doing it deliberately for that engagement and to drive the spurs tinpot narrative but he'll be able to pretend he's a spurs fan later on without any issue.
I think our problems lie in midfield and attack much more so than defence tbh, if we had more incisive finishers or more accomplished dribblers on the wings and up front, the ball wouldn't be coming back at our team so often on the counter. The whole thing we do of crowding the centre and looking for the inch-perfect pass to set up a tap in is very reminiscent of Woolwich under Arteta in his early years, and we're suffering the same issue they did, when the attack fizzles out to nothing if the opposition defence can find an out-ball normally there is acres and acres of space to run into, and only the recovery pace of VDV has saved us from conceding many more goals than we have. Couple with that the fact that about 30% of goals conceded this season have come from set pieces, it's clear to me where we need to improve.Comment doesn't even make any sense, we have on average deployed the 6th highest line in the Premier League this season, Bournemouth play higher.

I don't give a fuck about Bournemouth, nor should you as a supposed Tottenham fan Dan.Comment doesn't even make any sense, we have on average deployed the 6th highest line in the Premier League this season, Bournemouth play higher.
Same goes for all though, it's not about having some crazy tactic that nobody can suss out, it's about drilling your players to be good enough to carry them out anyway.the league table since the Chavs fiasco makes grim reading, defintiely sackable form.
In the EPL you will get found it after a while, in the main it's the best managers working you out, and the best players putting those tactics into practice.
Absolutely, I don't know how or why any spurs fan cannot see it.the league table since the Chavs fiasco makes grim reading, defintiely sackable form.

Spot on mate!Fuany actually, he probably should've been calling out the fans as a bunch of losers after we happy clapped our way through a home battering by Chelsea.
Didn't seem to mind our loser mentality when it was overtly in his favour though.

If you think or feel that, the amount of goals we have conceded and the manner is acceptable, then I don't really know what to say to you mate.
In general since Christmas, the football has been shit to watch, way too open and teams get through way too easily.
I didn't expect to finish 5th but, it looks like we will, so luckily for us , utd, Newcastle and Chelsea have all been shit as well, but next season they won't, so Ange and the team need to get their act together.
that disgrace was a lot deeper than just throwing a game against chelsea. he would of lost players over that or at least put seeds of doubt in their heads.the league table since the Chavs fiasco makes grim reading, defintiely sackable form.

Majorly pissed off that the media is going on about us as fans potentially wanting Woolwich’s title bid to be derailed, when several years ago the PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS at clubs were inferring they wanted Leicester to win the league rather than Spurs. Coupled with stupidly “naive” displays against Leicester yet very hard performances against Spurs.
Pricks.
The post you replied correctly stated we need better wingers, specifically accomplished dribblers.Exactly what I've been saying
The high line won't be the becoming of Ange it will be the recruitment and whether he is able to get his message across to his players.
