Manager Ange Postecoglou

I’ve said numerous times, and it’s worth mentioning of all the people that would like to see the back of Ange, I haven’t personally seen any of them say anything different, but I don’t think getting rid of Ange is a silver bullet that fixes all our problems and I’ve never seen anyone suggest that it would.
Levy is still a clear and leading problem, he is what’s holding us down, but Ange simply hasn’t been anywhere near good enough with what he has. All this talk of injuries doesn’t take into account how poor we’ve been for as long as we have.
Saying however that people are claiming getting rid of Ange solves all the issues isn’t true. People want rid of Ange because he’s simply too naive and under qualified for this league. So we would see improvement under plenty of other managers, but there would indeed still be other issues remaining which would require fixing.

Get in the EvANGElist thread please
Thank you for exposing the last place left to hide of people with Ange Postecoglou avatars. Those of us who saw through his lack of ability do not belive firing him will suddenly turn Daniel Levy into Sir spend a load. Firing him will however rid us of a manager so tactically inept I've genuinely started to wonder if he actually has his pro licence. I mean has anyone actually verified them.
All the issue you outline will indeed be still present but right now between now and seasons end Ange Postecoglou and his footballing ethos are the singel biggest impediment there is to us buying momentum and not getting sucked into a relegation battle. Improvement is possible for a better coach with sound ideas not for this man. He's Levy's biggest error, he just isn't very clever or able. This is evident in ever press conference and interview.
Or maybe doing that head jerk sideways thing in interviews ?
I just give him credit for not drooling warm Fosters.
I am increasingly of the belief that Talkshite is a secret Deep State Eugenics experiment designed to identify and target that part of the gene pool that will be sterilised for the "Longterm good of all Mankind"
One of Liverpool's young Dutchmen more or less said that in their game with us they intentionally targeted Radu because they knew that Ange's setup was going to leave him high and dry. Specifically because of the way that Ange demands our fullbacks to play.
Radu is, despite what some on here would claim, a good professional footballer. Certainly good enough to play at PL or Serie A level. But he isn't a one man defence that can take on all comers. And leaving him alone like our current setup demands is doomed to fail him.
Naked photos of Levy and Cullen together in the board room...The worst thing is that if we accept this, we've lowered our standards permanently. No other managers would've been given this long under those circumstances.
And sooner or later he will have a decent spell. Anyone can have it with those kind of players. And people will think he's turned it around. And it could go on for longer than we think. Because something about his persona is making Levy stick with him.
He has the least bragging rights of all managers, SPL being his previous peak. Still he's the most arrogant fuck I've seen. Talking about second season winner every time but can't even beat Ipswich. He's so tactically inept it's actually funny. But everyone's laughing at us nowadays. But for some reason he has Levy under his control.
So if Spence had overlapped and run towards the corner flag, we’d be less exposed?
Or are you just against any system where the FBs get forward?
That situation happens several times a game, no matter what system you play.
Bollocks
Only Levy and ENIC appoint him in the first place. They can all fuck off. Levy, Ange, Munn, Lange, the fucking tea lady, the shite bar staff in the stadium all of them.
It was a fellow professional footballer being g professional in his comments, a polite way of saying the system is easy to get at as it gives the opposition an advantage.
I'm not sure Terzic is the answer. He was Bilic's assistant at West Ham and they weren't much cop under him. He fell out with Matts Hummels who let's face it is probably well placed to call out an ineffective manager. People will say his record is good but Dortmund should be winning plenty of games in their league. If we do something short term i.e end of season the I would go all out for Max Allegri. Yes he went berserk after Coppa Italia final last season but he's a winner and ok the football will be not as gung ho as Ange but we need to be hard to beat.
It was a silly comment but I think he was trying to say he wanted the players on the pitch to correct the situation and not be bailed out by subs
After the Brighton game when pressed on why he didn’t change it.
Would you be able to post the full quote?
Speaking in his press conference after the game, Postecoglou said: “Yeah I could have. But… all these things… are totally irrelevant to me. Substitutions and all those kind of things. If you’re not competitive, it doesn’t matter what you do, you’re not going to get rewards, you don’t deserve to win.
“We didn’t deserve on our second-half performance, irrespective of subs or anything else, to get something out of the game. But I think if you do get something out of the game, you’re falsely rewarded and I don’t want to get falsely rewarded.”
Ange Postecoglou's response to why he didn't make substitutions earlier vs Brighton has left Tottenham fans baffled
Ange isn't doing himself any favours with these comments! 😑
And that’s when he lost me.
If the cunt knew how to scrape a few draws when we can't win, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.
9 losses is a joke.
