Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Clubs have figured it out. Tear into us in the first half, build up a good lead then second half shut up shop. Easy.

Once one club figures it out all the other managerial geniuses just copy that.

There were but I don’t think they were asking for a back 3 in this game against Everton. More about what suits our players when we have everyone fit.

Playing Gray on the right of a back 3 when we only had Bergvall and Sarr in midfield was the dumbest thing Ange has ever done. And he’s done some fucking brain dead stuff.

If he’s so afraid of Everton that he’s been panicked into a change of formation, that’s says it all. Even he doesn’t believe in his ideas anymore.

Dragusin is extremely poor with the ball. His defending is mediocre.

Gray showed his age today. Nothing wrong with that, but it shows you that a good PL club cannot have so many teenagers playing a prominent role at the same time.

I am Ange out at this point, but I can understand the view that the players he has had to use in the last few months are just not at the level required to be even mediocre.

This is why I think Levy has failed the club. Everyone knows we need depth with real senior players, yet we have only bought a GK. We need another CB, another MF, and another winger.

I agree that Ange has to go now. Its gone too far and nothing is changing. I was happy to wait for the injured players to comeback but the injury list just keeps getting bigger and bigger so I can't see how or when this turns around!

But this club looks like a total disaster. We are meant to be big 6 team who's financially ready to compete with all the top teams yet we have zero squad depth and lack any real world class players.

We are setup to fail. Mourinho, Nuno, Conte and Ange all failed. 4 very different characters and managers and none of them could solve the puzzle. How can you be confident the next man will do it?

We are basically just playing the long game and hoping young players turn world class like what happened under Poch. Maybe in 2/3 years the likes of bergval, gray and moore will be 3 of the best in the league and we'll be competing for everything. Like what happened under Poch where players like Kane and Alli came from nowhere. Because we aren't ever going to buy the finished product...

It is a cycle of hell! It is actually such a waist of time supporting this club but I'm addicted to it and its ruining my life

I’ll happily hold my hands up and say I thought 3-5-2 or at least 3 at the back with wingbacks maybe the best use of the players.

But I meant like fully fit squad, not square legs in round holes lol. 3at the back should have given us defensive solidity where playing the attacking football. Today they forgot to attack until we’d revered to a back 4.

Yeah there was no need to play that formation today especially against a weak everton side. Ange knows he wont get a top job again and maybe this was desperation not to lose but it backfired.
