Its when the 15/16 side clicked and will take us up to the October international break this season. You compared the 2 seasons. Clearly we arent going to agree on this though so just going round in circles.
Conte like most of us know, where the problem is."For over 20 years there is the owner. They win nothing. Why?" .
I was just curious as to why 7.
But if it was when that team clicked, what if this team clicks after 10, why not compare then? or make it reasonable for both and say after 19 games which is half a season?
wheres the next manger thread gone? the most relevant thread going now.
Still unconvinced.
I’m so conflicted because we simply can’t keep twisting. At some point we have to stick.
Trouble is he seems like a bit of a dick when things aren’t going his way. And perfectly unprepared to compromise.
However I do get that practice makes perfect and we’re only 4 games deep with the current squad. But I just don’t think we have the quality in the 1st XI and on the bench to bring his philosophy to a successful reality. Particularly in the front 3.
I’ll admit I’d rather watch aggressive, attacking front foot football which we’re closer to now than at any point in the last 5 years. However, although we’re aggressive out of possession we seem very flaccid once we get the ball. Still too timid for the Ange brand of football I think.
I guess I’m closer giving up on the personality rather than the style of football

It isn’t just two games though is it?
13pts from the last 12. Only results have been against two relegated teams and Forest & Everton. Mid table form since those halcyon days of early last season.
Thing is, I’m sure none of us wants the psychodrama of yet another managerial change BUT Ange’s Spurs are so easy to both work out and play against. Against this you also have the ‘hipster’ cult surrounding him - thinking there’s some special alchemy that’s gonna click very very soon. It’s arrogant to come to the PL and think you don’t have to have a Plan B (or C or D etc).
The reason so many of us here and in the ground today are worried and critical is that we can’t see him changing or even tweaking things. Just the same predictable attacking ‘phases’ and even more predictable conceding of goals
really? i think thats far more exciting than watching this shit. just have to pray that they get the right manager in.
the fact that theres no 'obvious' candidate could be a good thing.
33 seconds of what the entire problem is with this guy.
Delusional, arrogant, incompetent, narcissistic.
Writes funny-money cheques in a league where they can't be cashed, then passive aggressively lashes out when challenged on his fraud.
Haven't watched a presser/post match from him in ages.
Actually, hardly any since the City game.
I was that fucking disgusted with him.
Done with this fat clueless cunt
A shame because he seems like he would be ok to talk to but how many more weeks in a row can we say we were unlucky

We weren't toothless in attack. We didn't attack once at their pen area.
That's on Ange.
The really galling thing is that Arteta had 3 shit seasons and narrowly avoided the sack saveral times before coming good.
I'm not sure if Ange will come good, but I don't think we'll ever find a manager that will work a miracle from day 1. We need to learn to stick with managers for a while.
Alot of us have been saying hes out of his depth for months.
You win Post of the Day.
You're right that sometimes you do need to stick with managers and get through the rough patch to see the long term vision come together. But for every 1 manager that works out for, you get 10 where when they finally do get sacked, you wonder how on earth it took so long for them to lose their job. Unfortunately stories like Fergie and Arteta are the exception, not the rule.
Kulusevski first half? They also didn't really create much apart from set pieces and that one break that Martinelli fucked up. I think Biss was a big miss for us and he is pretty essential to how we play now.
This post has made me do something no one, AFAIK, has done before: reconsider their position based on someone else's opinion on the internet.
You're not wrong. Fergie was given time (a lot). Klopp was given time. Consistency and commitment is vital. Belief is contagious. I like Ange, the players like him, they were clearly trying, but something was missing.
I'm back to thinking it will come.
Pat yourself on the back. You've earned it.
delusion is contagious
