I'm genuinely mulling over giving up my season ticket but telling the wife I still have it.
I could just sit in the car for 6 hours on a match day to get some "me time"
 
Literal quote from Ange from his post-match press conference -

"We created enough opportunities to win the game".
So let's look xG -
Tottenham 1,27
Leicester 1,40

Yes, yes - I agree that xG is not a magical stat and it can mislead in some instances. For example - when one team scores early and other is chasing a goal for like 85 minutes but game ends in 1:0 still - it is likely that losing team has higher xG as they have put lot of resources into finding equalizing goal.
But fucksake - yesterday - first 32 minutes we were 0:0 against relegation-fighting side at home.
And for last 40 minutes we were BEHIND in a game against relegation-fighting side.
But even IN THAT CONTEXT they produced more danger across 90 minutes.

And then manager comes out and repeats his catchphrase of "We created enough". He literally has said this after 10+ games we havent won this season across all comps.

Does he have ANY grasp on real world at this point? Cause everyone with two eyes saw that we created very little threat yesterday. Nowhere near enough.
I think we have to consider that he’s not from the UK and English isn’t his first language.

Are there any Australian speakers on here, who could help out?
 
Give up. You've got nothing.
When last week I posted actual points per game stats (you know - facts) you had nothing to say for that.
When today I pointed out that Spence played just 4,7% of minutes in EPL while Udogie was struggling for form - you've got nothing relevant to say about it (just some subjective opinions in your head). And then my posts are emotional. Sure. Sure thing :D

I have nothing to give up mate.

This is getting boring now tbh. You have anything else to add?
 
If we pull off a genuine football miracle and survive Anfield next week, then what?

Does he get to the final?

Cause the final is MARCH 16th.

Before then (after the 2nd leg) we have to play:
Villa - FA Cup
Man United League
Ipswich away League
City home League
Bournemouth home League

We aint winning any of those games...I honestly have fukk all hope look at the form guides it's depressing
 
Dunno mate. He’s been given big purchases like VDV and Solanke but the vast majority of his senior rotation has been gutted and replaced with kids on lower wages.

actually just looking into it Ange has the highest net spend of any spurs coach relative to his time here, solanke and vdv as you mentioned. But also maddison, johnson, vicario and dragusin. Along with a bunch of expensive teens.

then remember that jose got alot of junk in his time, none of it expensive, gedson, vinicious, Rodon, Doherty, Bergwjin, Hojbjerg.
Conte a bunch of free transfers, lenglet, Fraiser, perisic, danjuma. Along with oppurtinistic buys in kulu, bentancur, bissouma. only really porro and richarlison did the club stretch out

Even poch had to make do and work miracles with alot of cheaper players until after the CL final .

I think Ange has been backed as well as any spurs manager if not better, which ultimately is is still poor because we leave every single manager short of options
