Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Any decent manager who prepares properly for games against us will beat us while he is in charge. Honestly, it is as clear as day.
I'll go out on a limb, ahem, here and say that I think Ange will win only more game as manager of Tottenham. The game this Thursday vs Effinburg. We will win narrowly by one goal, holding on for dear life. We will lose or at best draw every other game under him.
 
but come home for what - i don't think he has progressed as a manager at all.... Ange finished above him last season..
You don’t ‘progress’ as a manager. Once you’ve hit the big time, you are what you are and ‘progression’ is really ‘regeneration’ of the team and getting that combination of excellent players and a little bit of luck which helps you forge a team.

That’s why Ange won’t progress. His football is silly and naive and requires a planetary alignment of certain factors to occasionally shine.

Poch would work very well with this squad. People might not want him, due to different reasons, but he’s miles fucking better than Ange.
 
And the best part about this is, doing fucking what?

This calamity chaosball nonsense would arguably be worth it if the solid foundation that you were entirely neglecting to build were absent in favour of a bunch of players up the other end causing a headache for the opposition, but they aren't...

As Matt1882 has pointed out repeatedly, we're outnumbered everywhere on the pitch.

Where the hell are our players? Not in defence that's for sure, midfield? Nope, nothing to be seen there, must be in attack then? Nope, fuck all going on up there either...

Seriously, only position that I'm confident that we are fully manned in is Keeper, and that poor c**t will always be on a hiding to nothing no matter who it is and what form they're in. I'm sure it won't be long before Ange has him inverting and/or pressing.
Inverted GK!

I'd happily take Poch.

I would imagine that Mrs Poch would be miles better!
 
No I got lost in a bit of a temper, it was more of a general point against the gathering talk of this supposed Cup based payout stuff tbh...
I can't see how as a top club with such a financially prudent Chairman we don't have a release clause in his contract , it makes no sense at all! We are sat in fucking 15th hovering above the drop zone, we should be able to show Ange the door and not give him a penny in compensation!!!!

I'm actually pretty shocked their wasn't an announcement of him going this morning, the people who said we don't need to worry about relegation are the same people saying we would beat Leicester.......

I personally don't think he would be doing that well with this squad against others in the league right now - the Prem has come a long way since he was here and whilst, for sure, he'd be doing better than Ange - despite a decent run at the end of last season his football with Chelsea was pretty shit and he would get pelters here almost immediately.

No point in going back
 
The best game this guy has managed us in was City at home last season where he did everything he could to hand scum the title, whilst mugging off the fans.

He's now dragging us down to the Champo having spent most of the rest of his time here abandoning the effective measures he employed in that game.

Guy is a fucking troll.

In fairness it beggars belief that he's on the wage he's on...

How tf did we tie ourselves into £5m per year to hire an almost 60 year old nobody from a pub league, and make it 4 years whilst we were at it???

The thing is, there is no real way to overload. It's a bit of a myth.
The game is 11 v 11
If you overload one area of the pitch, you are always going to be short elsewhere.
You're best way to "overload" is to dominate the ball to such a degree that the opposition spend all their time running after the ball but not getting it.
But we can't do that because all our players look like they don't practice. We don't know what to do with it or without it. It's a total mess.
So every time "angeball" is in effect, we have players out of position and the entire team is exposed. It's making players make more and more errors more often. There's the errors that give the ball away through lack of basic training and then the errors that getting forced because of the constant bombardment the defence are under.


We are constantly in a poor position. When we attack, we let the opposition reset and defend. When we lose it, we're all so far up the pitch it's almost always likely to result in a strong chance when we give the ball away.

It's the same thing. Minute after minute, game after game, month after month. We're an absolute fucking mess and we're getting worse.
