Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Our squad isn’t ‘fine’ given we play in Europe. Ange-Outers sadly providing cover for Levy.
Cover for Levy? Levy once again is the cause. Not only has he appointed a staggeringly under qualified manager he is stubbornly backing him when he should have gone probably after Ipswich. A chairman that dismissed Redknapp on a whim after finishing 4th. A chairman that didnt back Poch our best manager in 35 years. Who treated Jol and Nuno shockingly. Its his mess, its always his mess but that doesnt excuse keeping a stubborn, childish, tactically inept idiot. Whats the alternative, carry on as we have been all year?
 
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.”



And that’s when he lost me.
Ok in fairness to him I'm revising my gone by Christmas prediction.

Gone by new years eve.

I don’t think he’s saying here that the subs would have led us to being rewarded. I think he’s making two separate points: that the whole team was playing poorly in the second half so subs wouldn’t have saved us, and we didn’t deserve anything due to the second half performance.

Alternative is to back Ange heavily in this January window with quality wingers such as Mitoma.
 
You don't think a new manager might need quality wingers?

Probably - but I’d wait to see which ones they specifically want before going out and spending huge on players for Ange.

I don’t see the point in giving him whoever he wants in Jan and then sacking in the summer. We may as well take the hit this season, it’s a write off with him in charge.

Lmao wtf

Genuinely curious about how bad it could get

Wrong.

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.

Clear as day he is saying he would not have wanted the subs to have led to a positive outcome as it would have been a "false reward" in his warped mind. Mental thing for a PL manager to say.

Most other managers would try to both change the result and scrape something.

He’s saying quite clearly that he wasn’t even going to try. By all means say you didn’t deserve anything from the game after if you get anything but to not even try? Amateur.
