Management Ange Postecoglou

Possiby but Ange has proved he's defensively and tactically inept and too bloody stubborn for his own good.
It's an important distinction to make ......many a manager has thrived because of Kane ....and Bale before him made a few managers look a lot better than they were.
Despite the common complaint that it is Romero and VdV's absences that broke the camel's back, it's actually the significant drop in goals, compared to how things usually are under Ange, that primarily caused this collapse. After that Soton win we scored;
-1 against Liverpool, from a giveaway in a very dangerous area, until the match was entirely out of reach (1-5, 72nd minute)
-Nil against Forest
-2 against Wolves, even though we didn't create much in that match either
-1 against Newcastle
-1 against Woolwich
-Nil against Everton until, again, the match was entirely out of reach (3-0, 77th minute)
-1 today
We weren't keeping clean sheets even with Romero and VdV, so unless you are willing to argue that these two would have increased our attacking output significantly in terms of chance creation and goals scored, then I don't think they would have been of much help.
Goals have dried up, it seems that simple to me. Whether that's a blip on the radar, or sign of an irreversible trend that'll continue as long as Ange stays, is up for debate. But either way, don't expect a sudden turnaround when the aforementioned two return.

For anyone feeling depressed at the minute just remember football is not important, it’s just a game played by millionaires, there are more important things in life so don’t let this club ruin your evening!
Sorry....I can only see what is going on, on the pitch...and post my humble opinion...You clearly have other issues which I am assuming lies in an area you do not have any influence over.... I can only offer this...... get ELON MUSK to buy the club and no one will ever have to complain that Spurs are short changing the Team.
what are we praying for?I'm laying flowers for Ange, everyone lets pray
Postecoglou will prove to be a two edged sword for Levy. With his initial success he took pressure off Levy. Fans had a big personality as manager who believed in attacking football. So far, so good. But now that the system isn't working, fans who have fallen for Postecoglou can't accept that his brand of football is unsound. So, they are assuming Levy is to blame for not supporting him. So, Levy at the same time can't keep him on as manager and can't fire him. He's Schroedinger's manager.
Bore off. One can hope.
A safe flight home I think
The thing about the way we play though requires ball playing centre backs , I get Romero made mistakes but he was so important for building from the back.
Don’t get me wrong it’s bigger than missing them 2 but for Anges system to work Romero and VDV are key.
Make Tottenham Great Again
I’m apathetic to Ange
I know with 100% clarity the manager is irrelevant under these chancers tho so let Ange crack on
World peace
Makes the dragusin acquisition more baffling
Good way to look at it
Agreed. He does not seem right at all for the “system”. But let’s not forget he was 21 when he joined. Is 22 now. By rights, he probably shouldn’t be starting game upon game at this level @ his age.
