Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Wasnt Poch sacked the week after losing to Colchester though?

And 1 point ahead of 13th but also 3 behind 3rd so I dont think the permutations will factor in currently. Not defending Angela but the situation isn't as bad as it seems due to the inconsistency of the other teams at the top.

I can't see him surviving that run of games after the break anyway.
Poch was sacked because the first team was playing crap.
Our first team is not playing crap.

Tell me what changes you would have made to the starting line up today.
 
The league table shows how competitive this league is. The top two will pull away and it’s a big fight for Europe. For us to be only 3 points off 3rd is fucking bonkers considering we’ve lost 5 games out of 11.

Exactly , everybody is taking points off others and losing when not expected .
But the simple solution is every manager moves to the team below them on the table and clubs just takes their chances with who they get .
Can will revisit in the New year and go again if necessary .
Absolutely NO one before today has lost to Ipswich ... So to 'expect' to isn't exactly being unrealistic!

Same as no one had lost to Palace before we sauntered into town with our stinking elitist attitude...

It's not like we're pissed off about losing away to City as and when we do... That IS expected, and even more likely now, given City's recent run of form!

We coulda been 3rd tonight with the way results went...
But that would merely be papering over the cracks, so maybe a blessing in disguise.

We're not even flat track bullies anymore, not after gifting Winless Palace and Ipswich their 'expected wins'!!

I hate how he treats Europa, (like most our recent managers tbf) Gala was a tough but exciting fixture, what's the point of even turning up for a game like that if you are going to make 6-8 changes and get completely outplayed most the game, just so we can rest players and still lose (for the 3rd time in a row now) on the sunday. I want to see our best team available played in every Europa game, start taking it seriously again, we should have been aiming for at least top 4 with qualification guaranteed by Christmas. He says he is a winner well what is stopping him from winning Europa? So we can rest players for the over hyped boring PL with the aim of finishing 4/5th. What a dream...
 
I don't think the loss today was down to Ange. With injuries, the only change he could have made was Davies for Drag.
Fact is, Drag is learning the game and Romero had his eye on the internationals.
Seems there is an issue with Madders as well.
I think we will be in the top 4 mix come January and probs doing well in the EL.
I think/hope Ange will be ruthless next window.

Jesus... Ange Cultists are funny...

Yeah... I mean... Ange only picks the team and is responsible for the tactics we play. He was the one who waited until 10 mins to go until making a sub. He insists on playing this dogshit naive system that any and every decent coach can counter easily.

But yeah...

Nothing to do with the manager... obviously...
 
i just saw vid of manu timeline after fergi and feels very similar with spurs like overpaid players not doing there job then manager gets sacked and get new manager everybody plays great then play shit agin manger get sacked n over n over
 
Its not this season. Last 39 league games since the great first 10 last season are now W17 D5 L17. Its the definition of mid table. This season we've had pretty comfortable fixtures to date, played Newcastle, Utd, West Ham at good times and we're 10th. Things about to get a whole lot tougher. I think talk of 4th is a bit of a fantasy at this point.
The health of the squad may be the difference. Every team has injuries, but we always seem to have a few more. I think we have a chance at top four but a lot will depend on Son staying healthy and Solanke getting in form.

Our first team is not playing crap.
In our last 5 league matches, we’ve lost 3-2 at Brighton after leading 0-2. We’ve handed the first and only wins of the season to Bottom 3 sides Crystal Palace and Ipswich. It is our worst start to a season over first 11 games since we were bottom in 2008/09.

That all adds up to playing crap in my book.

Yeah, it's the timeline BEFORE Fergie left that is where the comparison ends...

It's not like Ange has 15 years of relentless and multiple trophy wins to have to live up to, is it?

3 points away from 3rd tho....maybe things will turn hey? i mean theres been absolutely no sign in the last 12 months that things are going to get better! in actual fact the evidence points to the opposite. but we can blindly hope cant we?
 
i dont know how many ppl in here play hattrick the only game
but in that game you need to be very patience as to form a team or sale a player for over 10 million can take 2 years
i know it will never happen but iam at a point of thinking we would be better to just sale every player and play only with the youth 4 the next 3 to 4 years and at year 5 we will get to win the prem
