Yeh I’m sure when anybody thinks of coaching attacking football, they immediately want to know what Ryan Mason would like to do.
Do I really need to explain to you why you wouldn't be questioning a manager immediately after a win? Are we never allowed to criticise a manager if they've ever won a game they could have potentially lost? Mourinho fucking destroyed United 6-1 at Old Trafford in his time here, guess that means he was a resounding success and deserved none of the criticism he got at the end of his tenure as a result? Conte got that 3-0 home win against Woolwich so guess we should all just forget about that massive capitulation at home to Southampton?
If you don't have a decent counter-point, just say so, don't make a ridiculous strawman argument to try and discredit what I'm saying...
Was in South East corner so well placed to see him when he came on. He's very difficult to defend against as he can cross well with both feet. Every time he took on the RB he seemed to get a cross in.
His right footed ones dip dangerously at the far post. With left foot they go to near post. Strikers need to be on that wavelength.
Had one chance with a shot, skied it. I think it bobbled as he was about to hit it.
Didn't he have a second one which made the keeper tip it over for a corner too?
Either way, we were much more dangerous when Werner came on.
Yes I think you're right. Right footer (?)
100%.
Sonny was poor all game. He really deserved to be subbed too. Very seldom beat his man and his shooting was way off.
You are crying out to sack a man because you - YOU, think he is useless.
I simply asked why you weren't on here trumpeting the paucity of his tactics and ineptitude of his man management on the games we win - did he change them?
If you don't understand what a strawman argument is - then I suggest you don't accuse people (who weren't using the tactic) of doing it.
Per wikipedia
A straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
You're discrediting my criticism of Ange's tactical acumen by attacking the fact that I haven't posted said criticism after games we've won. This is an entirely different argument than the one under discussion, designed to obfuscate from the point of said original argument, thus satisfying the terms of a strawman fallacy.
but if you want to continue posting pseudo-intellectual bullshit to make yourself feel bigger, be my guest, it doesn't make you look any wiser or more insightful, just pompous and unwilling to actually engage in a meaningful discussion.
Love the optimism
Being 2 down at home to a team with no wins whereas we have had a manager now for 18 months, spent a shit load and yet still cannot deliver either consistency or instill any sort of fight and professionalism into the team.
Don’t know much about that but a) what is MADDs meant to do say no and b) he was t starting, hasn’t started a few PL games and only got 10 minutes here. If anyone thinks we are a better team without needs heads examining. They’d probably say hoddle would fit our team as well. With my eyes I can tell he is a far more skillful and technical player than kulu who mainly tries to run with the ball and either stops to che k back as has no pace or bumbles into a couple players and loses the ball. His crossing is shite as well generally.
Didn’t he have Munn appointed to help out even though he had not officially started. It’s strange as March / April 23 Ange was no where near the reckoning. Not even his biggest fans here mentioned him. All of a sudden we get Ange. Has Munns finger prints all over it. Levy is a dick but he’s appointed someone with a title head of football operations who seems to get off Scott free. What is his responsibilities and ownership of the football side?
You must be joking! How many games have we seen this type of performance under Ange. Yet he does nothing to address it either in game or for next game. We play basically the same 11 regardless. His subs are predictable and 8/10 never change course of a game. Yday we actually were worse 2nd half if you take into account the first half was shocking and had HT to resolve it.
I didn't say you couldn't google it - just that it wasn't what I did. I didn't refute your argument - I just pointed out that when we won games, I don't see you coming on here shitting Ange as a manager or tactician.
Saying you didn't do something does not equal me attacking you for something you didn't say, ie. - that I am accusing you of having said (the straw man.)
It's a subtlety that seems to be lost on you.
BJ - certainly, he couldn't have been more accommodating apart from volleying it in for him.
Some go on about it as a really big achievement for. Ange! Ffs look at the list of Celtic managers to win the SPL. Do we want them to be spurs manager? No!
A
Ange In same bracket as the others. Poch got to a final first season and had us in title race 2nd season.
They could have scored in the first minute (obvious that they'd try to get an early goal)
Then again in the 2nd min from the resulting corner
Hit the bar in the 10th from - another corner (!!!!).
By the time they were 2-0 up we'd had one chance saved, Solanke low at the near post.
Not our day my arse
Let's say we'd scrambled a couple of those chances at 2-1 and won 3-2. Are we going to go all happy clappy? Or think - we really are mutton dressed up as lamb right now?
We've lost 8 pts to teams in the relegation zone. Out of 9.
Not our day. Last 30 matches we're low to mid table - how many "DAYS" have we fucking had?
My opinion on this is that it is a question of motivation too. There is a psychological side. As others have written, Tottenham lost the last few games before the FIFA date. Overall, I don't think we have bad players. But they don't have a sense of urgency, that desire to win a game. A winning mentality. That's why this inconsistency - we have some good results, and when there is the possibility of starting a positive sequence, everything is lost...
