Said it in the match thread but worth bringing up here as well.
I like Ange's tactics and football. I've got no problem with that. But I think that he struggles with his substitutions and rotations too much. That's where he is struggling to take the step up from Celtic and the SPL. To Spurs and the EPL.
He's clearly realised that there's just too much talent spread out across the league. So he has to be smart with his subs. And he keeps overthinking them and hesitating.
That said. I like his football and I want him to be a success. But he needs to work on his subs.

One day the penny will drop with Ange with the majority of you.
We are not and never will be a serious team under this useless fk.
He is absolutely fkin clueless.
He can't coach to get consistent results with this squad, not even close to getting the best out of the players. He's overseeing the worst set of results for a Spurs manager in donkey's years. Just two weeks after Ipswich, we've just scraped a draw at home to Fulham ffs.
Yea City blah blah. They are in disarray and it was a fluke result.
Beaten a Ten Haag United who got sacked days later and pumped a pathetic West Ham at home who Woolwich just thrashed on their own turf. Beat Villa who are in free fall and just got spanked by Chelsea.
When was the last time we actually beat a team who was in some semblance of good form?
The guy is just fluking results this season which keeps him in the job a while longer.
It's all out attack, we score you score. We are wide open. Can anyone watch that today and think we look like a team going places?
Fulham could have scored 6. Just like Palace could have weeks ago. Ipswich carved us open at will two weeks ago. It's just utter shite.

Unless we're planning to buy 3 or 4 world class players it will be more of the same.
Even then, I wouldnt be convinced.
We're just way too easy to play against.
Guy can’t coach a defence. Some gaps in the squad absolutely but Ange ain’t the guy either to get the best from them.
In fairness though, I wouldn’t envy anyone working with the club owners right now. It is mostly joyless watching us. Endless frustration knowing what’s coming next.

I can't see us getting anything from Bournemouth midweek, and another performance like today against Chelsea and I don't think he's coming back from it.
Yeah we suck mate. The master of attacking football just got his pants pulled down in his own backyard by boring Marco Silva.
They came to our gaff and had more of the ball, the better chances, more shots, forced more saves.
Ange is embarrassing.
No our fan base is very consistent. We will slag him off no matter what.
He had a shocker today that’s for sure. Trying to be a bit too cute with some of his subs and selections.
And the previous 3 managers suffered the same. The common denominator is the bald prick.
Ange is not even remotely responsible for the overall status of this club. That our squad is so painfully thin is wholly on ENIC.
He is what he is. A one dimensional coach with limited experience. He’s the epitome of journeyman.
Just pointing out - xG from todays game - Spurs 0,69 , Fulham 1,35.
In Premier league game. At home. With us playing roughly 15 min with 11 against 10. Shocking.
Ange gets so much so wrong.
1) We had super high-octain game against ManCity last weekend. We have generally been doing very well in Europe with strong rotation. Cause it gives subsitution players time and keeps starters fresh. So what did we do after the intense City game? Started AND KEPT FULL 90 both Deki and Solanke. They literally ran their lungs out. Just to take part in a draw in Europa league... and then be able to play 30 minutes combined against Fulham who has been equal to us in the league so far.
2) Asking Son do do Solanke. Fucksake, it is not a rocket science that Son cannot do what Solanke does. And yet we played EXACT SAME WAY as we did with Solanke up top. Son dropping down and trying to hold up the ball. What the fuck, it is so basic mistake.
3) And then not trusting Bergvall to play against Roma in the week... and then you have a chance to play against 10 players of Fulham... THEN you bring off our best goal contributor in the league (Maddisson) and put on Bergvall? HOW IS THAT LOGICAL?
I just dont get the thinking or logic behind any of that.
We play incredible football in one game and then are totally pathetic in the next one.
And after every shitshow we hear how "this is on me, I've got to find a solution." And then everything gets repeated in next week. Let me guess - next game we have some players coming back. We go out and fight against Bournemouth, whose approach to the game suits us well - they keep game open and want to press high - so we will smash them 3:0.
Then roll on Chelsea, who will pick us part at home.

Lol, and that's why the club suffers the same mentality as some of the fans. Arrogance, complacency. Always thinking we are better than we actually are.
I’m 50:50 on Ange but our squad is painfully thin, and that’s not his fault.
He needs to go. He's mostly been a miserable failure.
