We can't have another Mourinho or Conte - as much as I hate these shitty results under Ange, it is at least entertaining *most* of the time.

There has to be a middle ground with a manager that plays good football without completely losing the ability to defend.

Both of those two had us looking organised at least, until both inevitably found out what it's like working with Levy.

The middle ground was Pochettino who Levy got incredibly lucky with, then fucked him for 18 months with no signings

There's a single constant issue here and it ain't the manager, Ange has his faults but he's been given teenagers and bit part players to play his system which demands quality particularly in the wide positions and depth for when the inevitable injuries happen

I really like Ange, I think he’s an honest manager who has a formula that’s got him success. He’s always been given time and that’s paid off.

Unfortunately the PL is a lot different to those leagues, and we have layers of things that contribute to why we are where we are.

The board focus more on revenue that onfield success.

The fans want success from day one and some don’t have the patience to see tough times through.

The players know they’ll outlast a manager.


However, Fulham, Ipswich, Palace, Bournemouth and Leicester, to only get 2 points is pathetic.

He’s not even honest he tells so many porkies

This bunch of players are fuckking shit. How are Bournemouth players faster and always first on the ball? These players are disgrace.

When I see Werner or Johnson on the wing I know that ball isn’t going anywhere useful.

Ange isn doing good job so far, but he’ll get full season. I’m worried that we are going i to cycle with managers.

I can't agree witb that.

We defend like amateurs. Is that not on the manager?
 
This whole assumption that the club would rush to put Mason in charge. I'm not sure. They didn't want to give him the gig last time. They gave it to Stellini. It was only after Newcastle that they begrudgingly let Mason take it to the end of the season.
 
I don't have the energy for another cycle - I am fucking drained and we're not even half way through the season ffs.

If/ when he does go, I'll be taking a step back and trying to disassociate for a while - modern football in general is fucked but feel like something is really missing with Spurs for me currently.

But hey, at least Daniels business model is doing well.

Ange has to do better but I think we have a very flaky squad of players. Players who turn up when the sun shines and hide when it doesn’t.

I honestly hope it’s an AVB situation where Poch comes in and rescues us and shows the players aren’t that shit. My gut feeling sadly is our players are a bit wank and we are fucked.

Sadly, I think you may be right
However, with all the best players, we are way better than tonight, it's just that we have no strength in depth.

Ange would do fine with Liverpool, City or even 2016 Spurs, I think his tactics need a top squad to succeed. Unless we get the next Mane, Salah and VVD coming through the door in January he’s not getting the Klopp fairy tale here.
