Manager Ange Postecoglou

[Shadydan]

Yesterday Shadydan was telling us we were a "cooked fanbase" (or whatever teen lingo he's speaking this week) because we were concerned that Dragusin was injured and it's all fine.

Today we're being told that we in fact have no defenders and Dragusin is playing injured.

Which is it?

Well that's a massive lie isn't it.

I believe that Dragusin played with a sore ankle yesterday and probably had to take a pain killer before the game. I might be wrong but thats my assumption.

He does not play if we have other centre backs who can come in. Usually when you go off with a bad knock to the anke you don't play 90 mins 3 days later. In this case we had no choice as Dorrington clearly isn't seen as an adequate replacement. I think he definitely played yesterday's game with a bad knock.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Apparently all but one of Son’s ones go that way.

That’s what the GFX on screen showed and Jose Sa clearly did his homework

Was a whack penalty as well, not even wide left.

 

[manmountainbutters]

We've literally no defenders atm. Porro and Spence are the only fit ones available. We are down to Reguilon and Dorrington now who really shouldn't even count as options... Dragusin played with an injury yesterday and its only a matter of time before he gets ruled out for a few months as we can't rotate him. On top of that we have the worst starting goalkeeper in the league.

Our 18 year old midfielder Archie Gray has become the best available defender at the club. Its insane to think a new manager will get us winning straight away with the current situation.

And it’s not random!

It’s the Angelos effect

Get rid now

Ange = more injuries.

Ange = more defeats

I fail to see the lie. You told us we were "cooked" for fearing we had no defenders available. Now as a defence of Ange we're being told he played injured yesterday.

But yeah, lies.

 

[Don Pedro]

They finished 3rd.

Click to shrink...

Yes but their level dropped by around 20 points. We are nowhere near as good as that Liverpool team, its just an example of the drop off due to injuries. They won the league the year before. We came 5th

 

[Richard Arlison]

Son has been shocking this season! I don't know whats happened to him. Probably fatigue but he's giving the ball away, making the wrong decisions and not working hard enough off the ball. He's not tracking back or pressing to the levels required. His confidence is at an all time low too.Usually he is such a sharp player and only needs one touch to get a shot away but this season he takes 5 or 6 touches before taking a shot on and he's become so easy for defenders to mark.. Watching Cunha yesterday shows the difference in confidence levels. He was taking on shots on the spin and just oozed confidence. Son has the ability to do all that but something is missing this season. He could do with a 2 or 3 game break but we don't have the luxury to rotate him given how poor werner looks every time he comes on

Peak son terrifies defenders because he can shoot from anywhere off either foot.

Now defenders are looking forward to facing him.

Their level dropped but you are trying to make a direct comparison to them because of injuries.

They still finished 3rd despite injuries.

We lose games even with our best 11 because our manager is shit. They still finished 3rd because their manager wasn’t.

You have to adapt in the face of adversity.

 

[Matt1882]

This injury crisis very much reminds me of Klopp's Liverpool in 20/21 where they fell off completely. Van Dijk was ruled out for the season and all of a sudden players like Henderson and Fabinho had to start covering at centre back and could never rotate. They just kept picking up new injuries every week as the squad was thin with all the injuries. Their season was a total write off.

They finished 3rd


STOP TROLLING!!!!!

 

[Jarritos]

4 points from 6 games. We've played all of the bottom 4 now, by the way and scooped up 5 points out of 12.

Damn. That's no bueno.

 

[manmountainbutters]

Could someone please relieve this gruff, swarthy antipodean gentleman of his duties !

 

[Skippa18]

Fucking look at it.

Look at it.

I don't think relegation is a serious concern this season, but look at the state of this. In our last six only the bottom two have worse form than us, and we're even with Leicester. Our saving grace is the bottom three are utterly dismal an are showing no sign of improvement whatsoever.

4 points from 6 games. We've played all of the bottom 4 now, by the way and scooped up 5 points out of 12.

Fucking dismal and shut up about injuries.

Easy now mate that bottom three took 4 points off us when we was at full strength.

Click to shrink...

ok so my wires crossed so I hold my hands up there, you were calling us all cooked over something else, something to do with Biss being likely to play instead of Dorrington. You were adamant that Dragusin wasn't injured though and there's no crisis.

Or is there?

My head is spinning. The spin machine is in full force.

 

[Aphex]

Of the 15 oddd league games we’ve lost in 2024 around 8/9 of them featured Vic, Micky and Romero. It’s not like they are the magic ticket.

Click to shrink...

Exactly. I have no faith things will improve that much. We might turn the odd defeat into a draw or draw into a win, but it’ll still be woeful form. Simple fact is both Romero and VDV weren’t playing well before they were injured. Romero particularly

The quicker we change the manager the quicker we start the long road to recovery. There is no point giving Ange more time. His methods are not effective at this level of football.

The injury situation is his fault. He cannot cry about being unable to rotate when he has young players on the bench that he said he was happy to have in his first team. He cannot cry about Destiny’s injury when he has had Spence and Reguilon available all season. He cannot complain about the intensity of the fixture schedule when his training sessions are crocking players as soon as they return from injury.

Quite.

 

[Aphex]

Doesn’t the fact that he was expecting the injuries to slow down but they got considerably worse suggest that we have a deeper rooted issue to solve?

At least in his mind

Click to shrink...

No. He actually says his training causes the issues and injuries but the players will get used to it in the second season. Based on this season he was completely wrong, the players haven’t got used to it. If the useless fraud says what the cause is, but that things will improve and they don’t, it’s clear where the issue is. He’s a chancer who is out of his depth so yes I do think Ange is heavily responsible for all the issues we are seeing. Do you honestly trust him to know what he’s doing regarding training and fitness based on the rest of his management at Spurs?

He’s managed the squad appallingly. He is a complete amateur

I've already held my hands up, "bro". Unlike some on here I don't shy away from my mistakes.

But the central point remains, we have Ange fans telling us to be calm because Dragusin is fine, and we shouldn't be concerned about having no CBs and we have Ange fans telling us Dragusin is actually playing injured we in fact have no CBs.
