Like what? Probably the players' fault.

Lol, the coaches job is to improve the players. Ange has spent 300m euros + in two windows on players he apparently rates and wants.

Losing to Ipswich and Palace for their first wins of the season and getting played off the park by Fulham at home can't be entirely blamed on the players.

Was today an enjoyable style? Did you have fun watching us play?
 
Haven’t been active on the forum for weeks because, frankly, it’s been insufferable. Too many posters seem more interested in trolling and baiting reactions rather than engaging in meaningful debate. Whether we win or lose, it feels like people are just looking to score points instead of discussing football constructively.

Taking a step back has allowed me to watch the games without the distraction of the forum, and honestly, I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re not playing anywhere near our potential.

Yes, we’ve had the occasional standout result, like against City, but those moments only paper over the cracks. Our bread-and-butter league games often slip away due to poor in-game management and baffling tactical decisions. While I understand the squad is currently a bit hobbled, that’s not an excuse for what’s clearly been a recurring issue throughout the season—even when we had a healthier squad.

With that in mind, I have to agree with your assessment here mate, it's simply not good enough. I said earlier in the season the most consistent thing about Ange's Spurs will be our inconsistency and it seems to be sadly the case, I wish it were not.

You know me mate, I'm not the most keen to stick the boot in, but Ange has had undue stick for not having a plan B etc even tho there were multiple instances of him succesfully changing things to gain points; but there's a growing casebook of examples of where he's made an utter mess of the final 3rd of the game.

I just read his post match quotes where he's basically using injuries as an excuse for the drop off on performance and result after City game.

* After the 0-3 away win vs United we lost to Brighton.

* After the 4-1 win against Spammers we lost to Crystal Palace.

*After the 4-1 win against Villa we lost to Ipswich.

* After the 0-4 win against City we drew to Fulham.
 
We need Bergvall to develop into a “10” so that Deki isn’t the only one creating and Maddison can keep playing a bit deeper taking the ball under pressure.

It's about looking at the season as a whole, we've had some great results and some terrible results. Today we looked flat- in hindsight we shouldn't have rested Kulu, but if he had played and got injured due to fatigue, you would have criticised him for poor rotation.

I think our squad has some obvious areas of improvement- starting with both flanks.

Part of the problem with the 'we brought in players Ange wants' narrative is that in reality he will have to choose players who are within the budget.
Are their strikers who he'd ideally prefer to Solanke? Yes. Within our budget? No.
Are their left wingers who he'd prefer to Odobert and Werner? Yes. Within our budget? No.

He's talking shit but almost every manager does this.
 
Thing is, you just know they're mad as fuck behind their screens but they just wanna be Mr Cool and popular on here. Pathetic.
At this point I think the evangelism is just lies. They know but now they can not admit how badly they've made fools of themselves. I can almost forgive the Australians with the Ange avatars and Aussie flags bit of brainless nationalism and chance to Pom bash, the others have zero fucking place to hide.
 
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the department is understaffed and even underqualified.
