Formations or performances?

I think it's often too convenient to forget that players, playing well probably trump any formation.

That we looked better when we changed might be a red herring when set against an opponent already 3 up and settling for what they had.

I don't know.

Formation, we were left incredibly exposed by what he attempted in that first half. Because it was for all intents and purpose a back 2 playing a high line
Ludicrous stuff

Ange panicked after the Solanke injury.
He was wrong by not selecting Spence and resting Udogie earlier this season.
Obviously Richarlsion is not 100% but Ange should at least have started Big Will.
But this is with the benefit of hindsight.
Before the game I thought the team he selected was exciting

Good on you for saying so but the issue is that Postecoglou can't get the most out of this group of players, and left unchecked it could become very very dangerous.

Right now, we are probably in amber.

The Solanke injury, and a lack of an option, were hugely unlucky. No one can or should fail to see that.

Ah yes, because removing owners is so easy. Just ask United fans how their crusade to get rid of the Glazers is going.

Also, "Levy out" is such a boring take. Everyone knows Levy isn't great, but it's irrelevant. It's like yelling at clouds. He's not going anywhere, get over it.

Finally, it's not like we've been shit the whole time Levy has been here. Regardless of how much was down to him, he did break us into the top 6 from lower-midtable, the only team to do that without oil-money billions, then almost won us the league and CL on a zero net spend under Poch. Built the stadium which is now raining money. All while the owners of Everton, Villa, Leeds etc were destroying their clubs.

For the record I don't like Levy. He's a real-estate developer who knows fuck all about football and lucked out on Poch and Redknapp. But to act like he's the biggest problem in the club right now is frankly delusional. All of you wishing for him to be gone have to point out which other owner you would take from the league. And then realise that in all likelihood we'd likely just get a Boehly or an oil state.

He’s not even a good one of those based on information in and out of the public domain. He has no value of worth.

Says the guy who;
A) thinks Iraola is the answer to our problems
B) thinks he would come to Spurs in this mess


Wake up, coming to this club right now is absolute career suicide for any manager.

Such nonsense, having a shit season doesn't suddenly make you not an attractive club.

We paid Conte 15 times what Iraola is on now, they'll be forced to sell in the summer like their best striker to, oh yeah us.

we don't have to sell players to keep in with ffp etc.

I know you're annoyed but don't think we're not still a massive and hugely attractive club.

United were in a similar shit state and got Amorim in in October.

The irony of this comment being said by "New Zealand" spur and liked by two fans with Australia in their name. You're all hard-core long term fans of the club I take it.

I fly to the UK to watch Spurs every season from New Zealand. I'm not as hard core as the super fans who joined the forum in the last six months to openly cheer on whoever play Spurs but I do my best.

The bitter vitriol spewed at Australian's on here is a common theme I'm seeing from the over emotional types this season. That used to be my job!

VB swilling tim tam munching billabong dwellers.
 
If Ange does last until Thurday's match he has the unenviable task of trying to find eleven fit players to start the match let alone fill the bench , out of todays squad Spence , Reguilon and Kinsky not in the Europa squad.
 
There is no denying that he is completely out of his depth. Not giving reguilon any minutes today was just brain dead as he can't even be used on Thursday! He left Ben Davies on for 90 mins against medical advice and is playing Porro into the ground.

Can't complain about not having Reguilon available on Thursday night if you don't even use him today!! He's finished now. He's just getting everything wrong

and the advantage we have over Utd is that our player-purchasing has some (albeit small) strategy to it. Unlike Ten Hag buying players he’d heard of.
