That’s an interesting thought, and it’s the first time I’ve heard it. I would hope that if that was the case, Levy and the board would act. But then I think back to Maddison not playing and going to darts.
After shafting Pleat has he’s done, I’d hate him even more if he dared to ask Pleat for a favour.
And we don't really have a physio department at the moment to tell Ange otherwise.
Being an Aussie blinds Brits to his bulshit. A nation that massively overachieves in sport, esp in Anglo sports like cricket and both rugby codes, must know what he's talking about right? Wrong. He's a fraud. If he had cauliflower ears, a red face and a broad Northern accent he'd have lasted one season tops.
It’s a sickness spreading across all over society.
what floors me is how little direct criticism you see of him from the media. i actually got into over email today with rob smyth who did the mbm of the match for again just pointing out the number of injuries rather that the complete lack of structure and tactics we've seen for months. if ange was european or god forbid american he'd be crucified by now but because he's old, fat and says mate a lot he gets a complete pass. he'll be the worst manager in spurs history and everyone will act like they knew it all along. it's a joke and i've lost as much respect for the football media as i have for levy and the board.
I don't think Porro is the problem. I think what Porro does, which is what he's told to do is.
Porro is mate. Look at his positioning first goal. Way too forward. Kinsky made a bad error but porro positioning is atrocious. Way too forward. Wingers are way too isolated as well and about 2 yards too apart from centre forward. It's too open. Position of players is borderline amateurish. Asking for trouble as playing a right back at left back. Straight away unbalanced team.
He's subtle blame shifting makes Mourinho look like an amateur. Has the entire media talking about injuries for months so avoiding any scrutiny and now its dont pick on my players likely knowing the media will do exactly that. He's a con artist. The Ali Dia of managers.
He's an absolute con artist and he knows exactly what he's doing.
Wells must be longing to go back to Scott Parker at this point.
