That’s what I said on a previous post if he’d adapt to situations in games he’d get away with a lot in terms of patience up 2-0 away to Brighton who the fuck was going to criticise him if we’d spent the entire 2nd half keeping the ball sit back force Brighton on to us catch them on the break, but no he’d to go kamikaze style and fuck it up.

Fucking Ange rushing Konate back early
Wasn't even kamikaze. They came out in a different mood. They change a few things up and they won every duel all over the pitch. They were taking the ball off us and playing through/around us with ease. And it was obvious.
But he stood there with his hands in his pockets. Wasn't it this one that he said he didn't make changes because he wanted the players to live with it?
So what? Add it to the second half v Leicester, second half v Brighton, Palace away...we played some awful stuff with our first choice players. No consistency, the same defensive issues regardless of who plays (attack our right side). Injuries obviously make it worse, but the problem is the coach. He is the root cause of the problem.
At least he comes out swinging ; which is what we need to do right now . IMO .
Always remember Nice Guys finish second.
Don’t get me wrong; he may ultimately prove not to be up to the task in hand : but he’s the incumbent manager and I don’t blame him for getting a bit feisty in post-match interviews ( with people who are paid to bait rather than understand) .
At the point at we’re at : Unleash Ange ; is what I say .
Bring it on .
Exactly
How he, or any coach, finds a solution without reinforcements or injured players back i have no idea.
1000%
Fuck these clowns and their narratives and fuck these fucking refs as well. Call it all out, get it out in the open
Did Conte get sacked without comp?? First I've heard of that. He only had 6 months left on his deal anyway from what I remember.
In any case, I'm not really sure I buy this theory. We went for Ange in the first place partly because he was cheap, and coming from the SPL he had little leverage over his wage, certainly less than a Mourinho or Conte. This was by far the biggest job of his career and you'd have to think his salary would reflect that (Conte was on 17m, Ange only 4m per year iirc).
And I'm sure that Levy being who he is, and knowing that the average shelf-life of a manager under him is around 18 months, he'd have stipulated a pretty mediocre payoff were Ange to be sacked. Wouldn't surprise me if there were some clauses in his contract stipulating league position too, ie, if we're bottom half he only gets £2m or whatever.
When you compare all this to our lost revenues were we to finish in the bottom half, commercial and TV, it pales in comparison. I see no financial argument for keeping Postecoglou in post whatsoever.
A mostly forgotten bit of trivia- Juande Ramos was the Dnipro manager when we played them under Sherwood in 2014.
Looks like you were sniffing glue long before you got high on Postecoglou shrooms
Be funny if it was true
The longer he's held onto a job in his entire career. Including as a "player"
A shining example of how most coaches in football are Just winging it.
What’s happened to you???
It depends on the money. We are still considered a wealthy club. If someone comes knocking they will sell. Question is who is willing to buy us for 10 billion?
Admittedly that one was a bit self indulgent poking fun at the “Ange is to blame for injuries” crew.
Same was when everyone caught flu and we had to play Liverpool full strength.
It’s just an absurd narrative to me that’s all
it would appear grumpy pricks finish 15th
Up until this point I thought your average fan probably had a vague idea of what they were watching on the pitch. You know, basic tactics, common sense. Especially the ones who'd been watching the sport for 30-40 years and had thousands of games under their belt.
But the reaction this absolute fucking mess of a match—and from all corners, not just Spurs fans—was a real shock. Never seen anything more stupid take place on a football pitch in my life, and yet you have the sheep in the stadium clapping like seals, and all the pundits cooing like they'd just witnessed Guardiola reinvent the wheel.
Now I think most people I think just watch football with their brain disengaged; to them it's just a bunch of different coloured shirts running around, a chance to yell at the TV, and you cheer when the ball goes in the right net. Only way you can explain the absolute insanity we're seeing now too, where most of the fans are still backing this charlatan. No wonder we're fucking doomed as a species.
