Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

And anyone who keeps going on about the league cup. We aren't winning it.

This team has not a hope in hell of even drawing at Anfield. They will batter us. So all this nonsense about Ange should get until then, no fucking way. We fluked a win against them at home when they had a massive off day. They will steamroller us. I reckon it'll be 4 nil or some shit. I can't see how anyone can watch this team and think we will make it to the final.

Same with the other cups. We are far too shit to win a trophy. Shit teams like us don't win trophies.

I can forgive losing at their ground. Just. But I can’t forgive the lack of desire last night.

Considering where both teams are in the league, the form each is in and how both teams played, a 2-1 defeat was a fantastic result. And it’s horrible to think that. Expectations are through the floor for me now.

I can’t forgive 4 losses in 4 to them and last night I didn’t see one naughty tackle, I didn’t see one dive to try and get one of them sent off, I didn’t see anyone try anything special to write there name into the history of this fixture. Just a load of weak, robotic, soulless float.

I sort of can forgive four losses, if we go down swinging. I don’t give a shit if the players are tired or not. Fucking kick some cunt. Busy a gut to get to the ball. At least look interested and you may fool someone.

My point is you can't use net spend with a stick to beat him with knowing that we lost one of the best players in the world in the process.

You can't use any stick about money or the players to beat him.
No one knows who identifies the players or who buys them.
No one can tell me Ange has got backed by the club, the squad is the worse we have had in 10 years.

We went down swinging in 1 of those 4 games and it was only Romero who went down swinging.

Baffles me that cunts on here would be happy to sell one of the very few fighters we have at this wet fish of a football club
 
A few caveats are in order - the squad is average, I honestly think it's a top eight squad, nothing more; it needs major surgery.

However even allowing for that Ange is underperforming - three things seem clear to me, two of them undisputable at this stage:

1. Ange wants to play front-foot, attacking football, all the time
2. Ange and his team cannot (or are entirely unwilling to) organise a defence
3. There is no in game management to any serious level (and this is more debatable, I think)

Two and three make his position untenable.

Also don't get the cult around him - one to one he might be an OK guy, I don't know, but he comes over as prickly, arrogant, sullen and boorish; entirely unable to take on board different views and opinions. I get the impression of a strong-willed guy who has managed to impose his personality at a lower level, but when more sophistication is needed, he's found wanting.

Anyway, give him 'til Liverpool CC 2nd leg, then if we're booted out a caretaker can come in to the end of the season. Mason, Doris the Tea Lady, Levy's secret lovechild, fuck knows any more.

Bulshit

The squad is fine.

Any half decent manager would have us in or around top 4.

The squad is crap. Teenagers/young pros and players in decline.


The first team maybe adequate but the squad is crap.


I am not saying btw that Ange shouldn't been shown the door ,because like the squad he is crap too.
But using money as a metric is not right, no one know if he has been given the players he wants or needs.
Sack him for his tactics not for his player choice cause we don't know his player choice.
 
Can you imagine if we get to the League Cup final and we end up losing to Arse or Newcastle? We’ll be a meme forever for losing against our biggest rivals or against a club that hasn’t won a fucking cup since 1950s.

To add to many flakes in the squad. When in the situation we're in can you really say you want maddison and johnson in the trenches fighting for you.
