It was 1-1 until the last minute. You wanted us to play attack v defence for 30 minutes ? You think we’d have got a result that way?
The only person who has exposed themselves as not having a clue is you.
showing my age but Gabrielle Sabatini had something about her ……
Especially when she turned around!
Yeah, it's disgusting. If anyone who was posting these pics wants to PM me, I'd like to have a word!
It was 1 -1 til the 75th minute
That’s a good factual correction.
We played an hour with 10 men and 35 minutes with 9 men. Is the idea that we put men behind the ball and defended from the 55th minute until the end?
I’ll stick with Ange for both tactical and psychological reasons.
It was 1-1 after 35 minutes. we went 2-1 down on 75.
I don't think Ange is "clueless" as per daveyboy88 but I think our tactics and game management that night were really poor. Playing a high line with nine men and 8 of them stood on the halfway line with no pressure on the ball was really daft and asking to be mullered, and that's what we got.
Is Daniel Levy morphing into the moon.Seeing as we're still posting filth ....
What if we'd scored (we nearly did). Multiple chances were there when playing with nine.
Postecoglou doesn't play the percentages. He does not do pragmatism. That's just how he rolls. In the World Cup 2014 up against World Champions Spain, and runners up Netherlands with a squad of mostly League 1 players when asked how he'd manage the challenge he simply said: "We won't die wondering". A bit more quality in finishing and he would have done the Netherlands (who had smashed Spain 5-1 in their previous game).
Personally I don't agree with his approach. One thing for sure is you'll never be bored, one way or the other.
Yeah. Call themselves Spurs fans but seemingly happy with the dross we saw at the end of the season.
Baffling
For me, good football doesn't produce 7 defeats in 10 games
Serious question: Was the squad better than 5 th?
Are we still on this?! Lol
Yes it looks bad cos they got two late goals and we rode our luck a bit.
However, after going 2-1 down, it was us who had the better chances. There is absolutely no way we would have had any chances of we had sat back.
I've had enough of sitting back and hoping to nick a goal on the counter - which hardly ever works for us even 11-11.
Awful night that was but I'm proud we still had a go right to the end.
We spent the majority of the season in 5th and ended the season in 5th so I guess that's where the squad is at at the moment, the table never lies.
I think people have massive heightened expectations after the first 10 games and as a result over rated the players and thus their expectations and thought we were up there with the top 3.
well it wasnt 1-1 until the last minute was it you thicko. the only reason we didnt get properly mullered was because chelsea was shit. it still ended up with jackson scoring a hat trick. we was never getting anything from that game it was a matter of time. liverpool showed how to play with less men and they almost got something from it against us as they adapted the only way you can. clueless french fool.
Went past where the Melbourne Roar play on the tour coach this afternoon, and coincidentally the tour guide had Ange's trademark cough.
Melbourne Victory? Brisbane Roar?
He hadn't done anything to warrant a job at one of the supposedly richest clubs in the world in the richest league in the world with the most competition below City.
At age 58 he wasn't even a hit and hope coach like a Naggelsman or even that twat AVB.
As for whether he will be gone by November and not seeing any evidence this will happen.... What about the relegation fodder form from February (when all our players were back) until the end of the season?
You think Levy will not pull the trigger if we're 14th in November and barely able to string 2 wins on the bounce together?
I'm not saying it absolutely will go down like that, but you mention evidence, and all the actual evidence points towards a team that actually got worse as the season wore on, not better. He has a big old job on his hands to reverse that trend, especially as he's unlikely to get any superstar signings to help.
Past the Gabba and XXXX brewery as well?Went past where the Melbourne Roar play on the tour coach this afternoon, and coincidentally the tour guide had Ange's trademark cough.
If you're in Brisbane, and you haven't done this already, have yourself a day out at Streets Beach. It's a swimming pool area in the city, with sand beaches. There's shops and a market behind it, with a cracking pub (can't remember the name) where they have live music and do the best "pigs with wings" (ribs & chicken wings) I've ever had. There's shitloads of street entertainment there as well, it's a great day out.
Thanks, but as you can see from my next post, got my teams mixed up! We're not going as far as Brisbane on this tour, just Alice Springs, Cairns and Sydney.
