Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What does it say that Chelsea looked at Terzic but went for Maresca after one year in the Championship instead?

What put them off?

We've moved on from Chelsea cast offs to managers that they didn't even think were good enough to hire in the first place.

FWIW I'm not even against Terzic if Ange goes, I'm just saying any coach we bring in, is going to end up having something that the negative loop decides isn't good enough.
I've zero insight into how and why Chelsea behave the way they do. I don't want that dubious gift. I might start hating blacks and Jews. But if asked to guess I'd go for the weird fads of modern English football, a period where simple proximity to Pep was guaranteed to get you work. At least Mascara had one years experience Leggo Man had fuck all. Which makes Terzic better qualified than all of them.
 
i bet you i go back to the nuno thread and ill see plenty of people in agreement of the sacking and even mockery of nuno himself claiming he was out of his depth at tottenham
He was. But Levy didn’t come on here and check the polls and the opinion surveys.

I was a season ticket holder that season and I can tell you the atmosphere in the stadium was worse than on here and worse than it is now.

Everyone hated Nuno’s style of play and game management. And he was binned after 10 league games.

Trust me, this is a manager that is far worse. They are just drowning out the end of match boos with music.
 
And if it needs to be said for some reason. No. Nuno couldn't have worked out as Tottenham manager.. It's not about not good enough.. His broad idea of football was a bad fit for us. And still a bad fit.

You didn't watch the football Forest played on Thursday? How does that football go down at our stadium in front of 60,000.
 
I think Moore is that rare freak but also, he can come off the bench to build up experience. Harder to bring CBs off the bench

But in Dorrington’s case, we have almost run out of available CBs and we have to use Gray instead as cover. I would think that giving Dorrington some minutes, even as a sub, would have been beneficial for him and give the other players some much needed rest.
 
I very much doubt that members of an Internet forum directly got a manager sacked, regardless of attending matches or not.

Nuno was sacked because he was playing awful football with the players at his disposal. Arguably not helped by Kane downing tools and playing within himself.
He was 8th choice. When we played forest the other day they just sat back and nothing really to offer. A counter attack team. Business end of season is when it counts not december.
 
You see, I think this is a bit unfair.
I do not care what you think is fair or not to be honest. 👍🏼

He's not my favourite, but I don't think Ange is a bad guy exactly, and I don't think he's a bad manager, as he's had success in various leagues with a formula that DOES work in certain contexts. This is a higher level though and the stubbornness/refusal to adapt will be his downfall.
His plan B is hoping plan A eventually works. That's bollocks for the league we are in.

So he can fuck off.
 
The story goes that Terzic was criticised for being tactically limited in Germany

That’s not to say he did a bad job but if people want Ange replaced because “tactics” (whatever the fuck they think that means) if anything Terzic’s “success” just proves how far you can get without being tactically astute but getting buy in from a squad that fits together like Poch, works.

But Terzic didn’t win CL and bottled it in the Bundesliga, isn’t that what we are meant to be getting away from?


He’s the one!

Nuno is a good manager but was a poor fit for us. I think he was treated quite badly and seems a nice person so I'm pleased he's doing well subsequently.

Abd he's still a better manager than Ange. Why don't these people get that two things can be true.

But...but.. we might damage his confidence lol. He's 19 and obviously not good enough if we're playing cm's over an actual CB.
 
The question is why.

What has Ange done? Won three managers of the month when he started and won 10 games?

Reminds people of the good old days of Kylie & Jason’s wedding?

Says mate a lot so reminds them of Londoners?

There is no valid reason for him to have such a blind and devoted following.
He's a charming salesman. He sells you on the whole "Big Ange" thing. Celtic fans said much the same thing.

In another timeline Ange is the greatest car salesman in Australia.
 
VDV had hamstring issues before he joined. This latest one seems like we have issues with the way we recuperate players from injuries.

Davies was very clearly from overplaying at his age. And now broke down when returning from injury.

Odobert was a classic Ange first season hamstring, which IS something that apparently comes with the Ange training style and then apparently the players are usually more resilient to it in the second season.. but somehow he is another one who broke down when he came back from injury.

So, if we actually look at it, what we have now is a much bigger issue with players breaking down when they return from injury. It seems like a systematic problem but how can anyone say that systematic issue lies with the manager when he's saying it's the first time in his career that he's seen it but was very clear that first season his teams pick up small strains when they adapt to the intensity..
pathetic.

I mean you obviously do, just a little bit, because you replied! :)

I agree he's limited - imv he's been found out a bit, in a higher level of football.

Not a f*** off from me, more a 'thanks but no thanks'. But I wouldn't pull the trigger on Ange yet anyway.
