Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The press seems to spend inordinate time worshipping the top 2 or 3 clubs, and with the rest they play up angles that will have people gawping. With respect to us, they play to rival fans who want to relish in seeing a Spurs club in turmoil. Which we may well be in a few weeks, but we aren't there yet.
Klopp was short, rude and antsy multiple times a season but as it was Liverpool you didn’t get pundits calling him out on it and the Liverpool fans weren’t wet wipes about it either Spurs fans always looking at all the angles to get on a manager. Always an issue with something
 
You can't take the end of last year into account for this season imo - its stupid. Thats like saying we won two league titles under Poch because over a two year period we were statistically the best team in the country.
We have ditched about ten players, brought in youth for the future and not properly backed the manager with starting 11 ready attackers in the summer. All bets are off for me - give him the season, see how we do in the cups and then reevaluate next summer is the only sensible option at the moment.
What are some people expecting this squad to do this year and who would get them doing this?

I agree that Klopp could be insufferable and was often a poor sport, but winning is a great cologne, as the saying goes.

Yes you can - nothing has changed. The style of play is the same, even most of the personnel - remember Ange said he was happy with the window.
Nope - see above

Now THAT is stupid!!

Agree - after all he always wins in his second season.
See how we do in the cups and then reevaluate next summer is the only sensible option at the moment.
What if we go out early in all three?

I expect a better style of play, let's just start there.

All sounds like upheaval yet we started a NLD with 1 change to the first team.

Hardly wholesale changes and a fresh start.
 
Nah I’m sorry, I love him

Very detailed response there to an opinion - cheers.
Play and control of games has changed - 100% we still can't fashion or finish enough chances (no upgrades in wide positions a big factor in this)
What manager says hes not happy with the window - even Conte did that.
You think we HAVE properly backed the manager then with three teenagers from lower divisions yeah?
Poch style of play didn't change during the two years we were statistically the best team in the country - we didn't win anything regardless.

We can't go out early in all three cups - won't know for months about europa.

What do you suggest then sack him now and get another scapegoat in?

We signed Solanke and three teenagers from lower divisions - would you have expected him to start Berg, Odebert and Gray in the NLD then - genuine question, not takin the piss?
We haven't got the players to even be in the question of a top four race let alone title race or have genuine aspirations of beating that Woolwich team.

How convincing.
