yea he attacks space aggressively but i feel his end product is lacking. once youve seen one udogie attack it feels like you seen them all, not much depth to his game.
I thought it was a CL side v a EL side. This tells us where we are. However I watched Kingstonian beat Uxbridge 3-0. So Today was a good day.
Hard disagree. He’ll be in the team rotation come December.
Why not? Was Mainoo ready before Ten Hag threw him in?
Sometimes you just have to do it. Can't keep rolling out senior players that have been underperforming for a year.
So you believe Ange wanted Timo Werner? And you believe Ange believes Johnson is Good Enough and worth 50 million. You believe Ange wanted the number of youngsters we have, and didn't want an older, more experienced player bought? And you believe Ange decides who his coaching staff is?
If he did want any of the above, he definitely isn't good enough to be an EPL coach.
They are two weeks behind us in terms of pre season also have a lot of young players. Not sure how many of their team are starters. However the main diff is the way they press and pass and move always finding a player in space. They don’t always have to beat 2/3 players to progress the ball upfield from defence to front. Whereas we could barely pass the ball through the team and only really had joy on some transitions and some lucky bounces.
I believe Ange has forgotten more about football than you will ever know.
I evssid it before we just look as if it’s all off the cuff. There is no passing structures or phases of play. It’s ok when you play a low block as you have the ball and it’s easy to roll it around 2 miles an hour. However in both games v BM you can see how easy it is for them to progress the ball forward but we struggle.
The defending for all 3 of those goals was absolutely abysmal.
Mate there’s so many passing movements in our game from back to front but it breaks down in the final third.
Well I think Alfie and donley didn’t see any minutes. Moore came on later. He plays skip who we are trying to flog sure Alfie should have been given a go. Also why play kulu RW after HT when we know what he can do there? Why not give Moore the full 45 mins.
We can see that, defending isn't worked on in training.
No today in the first half it broke down in our own half a lot of times. We never got the ball forward enough bcos of the stupid tactic where everyone is inside. Posted earlier that when we have the ball in midfield if the player looks up he’ll find no one out wide most of the time. Johnson especially completely hid a lot. Was no where to be seen on the right touch line.
Thank You for clarifying. I didn't know he was dealing with Dementia.I believe Ange has forgotten more about football than you will ever know.
I've been following Spurs for close on 40 years, and have played for about the same length of time (I can't class myself as Good but I wasn't the worst).
If Ange has forgotten more than I know or will ever, there can't be much left he could be remembering. Explains inverting both LB and RB at the same time without having a No 6 to mop up. He has forgotten that it leaves 2 defenders to face too many opposing players on the counter. Explains why he forgotten that you need to defend Set Pieces. Explains that he has forgotten that Timo Werner was so crap he couldn't get playing time at Lipzieg.
Maybe we need a less forgetful Manager.
We have some wonderful defenders but they simply aren't coached well.
