its just another excuse for him and his cutlists to cling onto. weve been utter shit for over a year, thats not down to injuries.

I didn't particularly want Amorim when he was at Sporting but that United squad is absolutely NOT built for a back three. No natural wingbacks at all, no good strikers, their best two players are a 10 and a winger, neither of which are a natural fit in his 3-4-3. Terrible fit, but I also think given time he'll do OK once he gets his players.
Our squad on the other hand is a perfect fit for a back three (a real one, not that retarded shit Ange pulled the other day). We have wingbacks and 10's coming out of the wazoo. Amorim would be doing a lot better with our squad than he is at United.
Pics like this make you realise how Bielsa could have known Poch was a footballer just by taking a look at his thighs in childhood. Some people are just blessed.
It's definitely something worth considering. I would hope some senior member of the squad would say something privately to Levy if that were the case though.
I wanted Amorim before he joined United. A young coach, that has a desire to prove his ability, and to see Spurs as an opportunity, not only for himself but also to boost the club.
As you said, our squad is as close to perfection as you want, in comparison to his footballing philosophy.
Porro, Udogie, Solanke and Kulu would most likely thrive, and many others.
There are other coaches out there, which include Iraola, so it is what it is.
His recent performances have been quite poor, so as an appointment, there may be safer options to appoint.
Oh we were very much amateur but we still pushed to the limit every game. We still won multiple comps. Point being is if we managed that many minutes of football, why can’t an elite athlete with everything at their disposal. It’s their job.
to be fair hes a grafter modders, puts a shift in both ways. his legs have no choice but to be strong.
Was it you who said this a long time ago? I have wondered about it a lot since reading on here and It does make a lot of sense for the forward players to press intensley for 60 odd mins and then sub them off for fresh legs. I remember when Celtic fans were on here they said Ange rarely plays the front 3 for the whole game and would sub them off early so it's a bit weird we have seen him take so long to make changes here. I suppose when the option is Werner it makes sense

Even if Werner is a worse forward than Son, if Ange's system is so rigidly dependent on an active press, there's still almost no excuse for not subbing them earlier and more aggressively.
I don't think Ange even knows how to play his own system best.
Interesting numbers.
Pretty clear to me that our medical and sports science dept wasn't up to scratch before he arrived and it's certainly not been equipped to handle his intensity yet.
Why shouldn't it be sustainable? And why did the club recruit him if they didn't think it was sustainable?
Surely they knew who they were hiring and what it took to be successful with the coach they were hiring?
Tbh I don't see much evidence at all that in-season changes are a good idea in a PL so built around intensity. the days of an old school Harry Radknapp coming in and saying some things to fox morale are long over. Any coach coming in mid-season will need a similar level of intensity out of this squad, no matter who they are.
If you do want to hire a new coach, the summer, and early in the summer is the time to do it.
Interesting. What you mean?

In the words of
Shadydan
Ali Gold cooked here.If you’ve allowed yourself to buy into the idea that Ange’s training is at fault for injuries, have a word with yourself. You’ve just got carried away with an internet narrative,
Sameway, our defenders don’t actually do any more sprints than the next team so it isn’t the system causing injuries either.
Ange has some part to play in it, and he’s the manager so ultimately it’s his responsibility but if you really think he’s to blame and it’s not because the squad has been left short, you really need to give your head a wobble.
Yeah his words and actions are just too contradictory as if he doesn’t give a shit about the fans in where he’s talking the team.
He normally wins a trophy as well. Wouldn’t want him perm though.
I couldn't give a toss what the United fans think of the Glazers. We aren't in the same league.
They sacked ETH after he won the League Cup & FA Cup in 2 seasons, while finishing 4th & 8th in the league. You think that happens at Spurs?
You think Levy would spend £85M for Antony, £70 million for Casemiro and £55 million for Martinez in one window?
You're delusional bud.
Maybe they have done already and Levy waiting until the right time to pull the trigger?
Hope it’s soon!
What STD have you caught then?
Not coming out with all that bombast and it’s entertaining now is he. Bet him and levy cringe when they look back at the forum from Sept 23. “We got our totttenham back” and the selected attendees lapped it up. All BS!
Not even attacking!
