I can’t see a knee jerk sacking unless results tank.

I think Lange will take a more measured response.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets the season, but is replaced in the summer if consistency doesn’t improve in the second half.
It won’t be up to Lange. Don’t think he’s anything other than a yes man for Levy.

When Ange gets the chop will be a call Levy will make and it’ll probably be sooner than we expect.
 
Yeh I watched it and it was the same sort of performance he put in for the last 2/3 months of last season in which Ange couldn't care less and kept starting him regardless.

Ange didn't care about his ghost performances at the tail end of last season which cost us a CL spot yet now he fucking cares...all because they've had a spat.

I don't fucking care about personal spats...you do what's best for the team.not you're fucking ego. We could have done with him earlier..simple.
Perhaps it's not about spats and just that Maddison played like a cunt in the week? I wasn't even aware there was a spat.

Not that I want to defend Ange he's fucking useless
 
We're all fucking tired mate, but it doesn't change that fact that we've lost because we've failed to score more than the opposition. And we look fucking woeful and incapable of scoring for the first hour of most games.

It's not wrong to say our attack sucks, we literally play the most high-line, offensive football in the league and yet still can't score enough to win!
If scoring the most goals in the entire league isn't "enough to win"....then maybe the "not conceding goals" bit is the real problem, eh?

Most pointedly, if scoring more goals than City isn't enough to be better than 10th, then almost certainly the system is completely fucked.

Stop blaming the attackers. It's either the defence or it's Ange. But we've scored more than anyone in the league. It ain't a lack of goals.

Laughable Levy hiring a cheque book manager and then hiding the cheque book and did it twice with Conte and Jose
"Yes Jose, I promise you that we will get you Skriniar in January. You have my word."

"Hum yeah sorry Jose, it's that bloody Inter chairman moving the goalpost last minute. But rejoice...you can have Rodon."

"Antonio, such an honour to have you manage Spurs. What, you want X, Y and Z? Consider it done. Yeah of course we will give you the money."

"So here's the thing, Antonio...".
 
I was there and he was absolutely awful beyond belief. He was giving the ball away in the first half as well and he allowed ipswich to cut through us at will due to his awful positional sense.

He had Sarr next to him as well whilst Bissouma is expected to do the same job by himself.
I was there too and he had a decent game.

Sarr and Solanke the best players, then Bentancur.

Have no idea what match you were at.
 
I know things are still a bit raw when managers are interviewed just after a loss so what they say can be a bit meh. But I hate crap like this:

“The inconsistency we're having this year, ultimately it comes down to me and my approach and it’s something I need to try and fix and see if I can help the players in that area."

We’ll all rest easy then. Just seems so meaningless and empty.

I would prefer to know about the lack of nous by players of placing about 20 crosses straight into the hands of their keeper and thinking that, this isn’t really working but let’s keep doing it anyway. Maybe Ange could see if he can help the players in that area.
We never gave their keeper anything to do other than catch crosses.
 
Even if Levy doesn’t care about winning this game today identified our problem. From the changing room before the game, through half time, through to full time it was on the manager and the team.
I play sport and I need to win, so I’m a winner. It’s not a nice to have, if you’re a good sportsman you NEED to win. It’s pathological. Ange and his players should be of that kind. Levy may give them the impression otherwise but this is top level pro sport, those guys should die a hundred deaths every time they lose. They should be awake all night and the next day turn up on the trading ground early and determined.
The problem is, I am not seeing that determination. From Ange’s passive stance on the touchline, to the players just pushing the ball about, to the players wandering about on the pitch and not running their legs off ….. well, you get the picture.
Give me winners.

Hit a peach of a free kick last week but can't find time for him on the pitch. Fucking shameful and embarrassing- what a total boob.
 
League One side who hasn’t recorded a win yet. International break coming up? - page Dr Tottenham (& those who dismiss this ‘phenomenon’ clearly haven’t been Spurs for very long or else not paying attention).

This club is cursed I tell ya! It really is. Always had this fragility about them - always will. But the here and now….

Have largely kept my powder dry this season but the 2nd half v Brighton, Palace away and now this?!?! Enough.

It goes without saying that Levy / ENIC should’ve gone years ago. Leeches they are but they’ll sacrifice countless managers to deflect from their own deficiencies. So, the manager…

Out of his depth ‘mate’. From the off. Those ‘10 games’ at the start of last season bought him another year. Shouldn’t have even had the job in the first place. Stubborn prick who won’t or can’t coach defending (see the two goals today). Suicidal game plan without the players or the mentality to pull it off and no Plan B. Sackable today.

The players. Ha. Yes, good enough collectively to see off Ipswich but nowhere near as good as they or others think. Mentality is the key fundamental missing from this group. Never mind the coach’s ridiculous ‘plans’, this team lacks any sort of nous or bottle. Ipswich smelled either fear or arrogance today and took advantage. Good luck to them.

Thank fuck for the International break. I’m sick of watching this fraudulent team, the fat clueless Aussie standing motionless on the touchline and the scheming bald prick in the directors box. Fuck ‘em.
Other than that….a lovely day out 😊
Dr Tottenham!!
 
Agree- we're in serious danger of going 9-10 points behind the top quarter of the table in this next run of matches. We're in serious danger right now- Levy really seriously needs to try and understand that.

I don't really feel confident Levy understands how close to being totally fucked this season is.
We're on track to lose 15+ games

That is simply ridiculous
 
He has no fucking clue.

Should have locked the changing room door and ripped them a new ass.

Man's in dreamland.

BBC: Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was asked by Sky Sports about what work he could do over the international break.

"They all go away so there's nothing I can address in the next 13 days until I get them back," he said.
Robbing a living.

And he'll get a giant cheque on his way out.

Liverpool was his dream gig? He couldn't even manage their car park.
