Conte's first half season is quite easily the best football we've played over a 6 month period since the early Poch years. Couldn't give less of a shit if it was with a back three or low block and counter football.

Best football since Poch was objectively Ange’s first 10 games. It was a record breaking stretch and the football was incredible to watch.

Tbh though, we over romanticise the Poch football. Even in the best periods we were grinding out results at times. Conte’s first 6 months were better than some Poch seasons

Even our worst performances were more fun to watch than Jose or Conte. It does sound like those 2 managers broke you a bit and tbh I get. They were soul destroying years to be Spurs.

Nobody is beyond criticism and every system has flaws. I’m not saying we shouldn’t know what they are, I’m saying it’s tiring that we only focus on them and every time those flaws get seen it’s because the system is naive and he’s been worked out.

When Conte stubbornly stuck with his defensive ideology was he naive and found out when teams beat us?

This is exactly why Ange is such a hero already. For years we were served up Nuno, Mourhino , Conte turgid shit. In the space of a couple of games, and with largely the same players, minus H Kane, we were delivering the best spurs football since we beat Real Madrid at Wembley. When we drew 2-2 away at Woolwich all I saw was Gooners shitting themselves because they knew they were lucky. I feel sad for you fuckers who can’t embrace the new Spurs

we have 2 weeks before season starts, our CH's & LFB haven't had a pre-season so will need extra help in the first few games, will Ange setup to give extra protection ? (nothing he said last season tells us he will)
I'm not an agne supporter I don't see a way of playing, to me it appears to be just go out and charge forward lads
I'm an old guy and I like defenders to be able to defend first,
we play short from the keeper but lack players that can recieve and turn in one movement, so the ball often goes back to keeper who then has to kick "long" to players who can't hold the ball or win a foul to move us up the pitch, (like Kane used to)
there is more but its just a rant

What did you see when we were 3-0 down after 30 odd minutes against them 7 months later after having a couple weeks free and them having a CL quarter final against Bayern?

We over romanticise the football under Poch but we're supposed to believe 10 games against mostly dregs is the gold standard? You're blinded by this Ange love in mate and I'll be interested to see your excuses when the wheels come off.

Injuries don’t explain why we were dogshit from March onwards when everyone important was available.

Ange deserves more time but there are legitimate questions over the way we collapsed last season. Hopefully he’ll answer them.

Don’t think he has though as we still play the same way. There is no tactical tweak from what I can see. Hearts should have 3/4 goals in that first half. BM probably 5. Whilst we didn’t really create a lot.

Hold on Ange had much better players in defence than both conte and Jose. Also we had MADDs plus we had richi at £60M and got BJ for £50M. So on paper those two you’d say should improve us.

We had to grind out plenty of wins under Poch. I paid good money to see several of them in person. I also saw fucking Burnley take points off us at Wembley in person.

Are you consciously just having selective memories to suit your argument or have you just been broken by this club so you can’t tell that’s what you are doing?

I think you’ll find games like Burnley we were camped I. Their half knocking on the door. A lot of games last season we looked clueless and created very chances hardly troubling the keeper. Under poch we would be on the front foot playing mostly in the oppo half. With Ange our two CBs and goalie have the most touches of our players.

I saw them getting at least 2 flukey goals and us still coming back to make it 2-3. Having time off and losing momentum is not a good thing. Wait, why am I bothering to reply you are are obviously a scummy little gooner. Fuck off

Camped in their half and clueless how to break them down. Exactly what people like to knock Ange for now.

I don’t hate Poch but if he ever came back as manager i think that would be it for me as a Spurs fan. At least under these owners.
