you know finishing seventh doesn't involve losing 20 fucking matches. i think that gets overlooked in the i'd rather win a trophy debate. it's been a miserable slog of a season that i'm not sure winning a second rate cup will take the stink off of.
I know Andy Peaks quite well from his playing days at Rushden.
Never the most gifted of players, his effort and character far outweighed his talent on the pitch.
As a manager of Rushden before moving on to Tamworth he managed both sides and I hate to say this in the same style as when Brian Talbot managed Rushden.
He set out a plan and a system against us and was determined to stick to it.
I talked to him a couple of weeks after that game. He always though that our midfield wad weak defensively, we were predictable in the way we move the ball, and our will to fight was low.
Just my ten cents worth.

Ange will go, winning the EL isn't a safety net for him.
You just have to look at our remaining games, we will end up losing over twenty PL games this season, could even be twenty two, and that's being generous.
That for whomever the team and manager is in any professional league is unacceptable.
Postecoglou just has to comment on everything. There was no need last year to comment on fans wanting Spurs to lose the Man City game and deny Woolrich the title. Managers routinely find ways to give non-answers to that kind of question. The idea of bringing that all back up now is just sticking a thumb in people's eye for no reason. He was idolized at his other teams in lesser leagues and now he seems resentful that fans have noticed the poor results this season.
Come on Ange, the media is all over the scousers, but can you still make today all about you?
It’s what you do best
It’s what you do best
As always the truth is somewhere in the middle. Ange isn't as big of a fraud as this season looks imo. There are some mitigating factors but this level of performance in the league is just unacceptable no matter what. The fact that it really hasn't gotten any better with players coming back is the final nail in the coffin. There's some arguments that the injuries hurt continuity, training, etc...but there should still be some improvement. In combination with some just wretched performances...Everton, Leicester, etc...It's just too much to logically say he deserves another chance. He's probably not as good as 5th but not as bad as 16th. This openness at the back, lack of attention to detail on some things, etc are just not cut out to compete at the level we want to be at where the margins between success and failure are just much much smaller.
I don't care so much about the stuff in the media. When you are losing this much...there's nothing to be said that's going to go over well. Obviously he's defensive, talking in circles, etc. He has to answer the same questions every match and we're not playing any better. All the stuff with the fans. Who cares. We don't have to have a love affair with our coach. And ultimately when you're losing this much. There's no action that's going to make it better or worse.
Keep foul voting this troll folks .I can only do it once a month.
You know everyone is laughing at you, right?
They're not laughing at your attempt at talking down to me, they're laughing at your inability to share the same reality as the rest of the human race.
19 defeats that's half of our league games get him out

Don't worry you will get fans like harry7 and hotspur hippie insisting he's a tactical god
As far as I can tell, the situation we are in with Ange is a pretty obvious one.
He is wedded to playing in a way that is tilted massively towards possession and away from defensive solidity. This worked well for him in low-talent leagues with teams high in talent for that league. Now he is in the highest-talent league on the world, with a team medium in talent for that league. And it simply does not work.
There’s no shame in this. It was an experiment worth trying. It failed.

This team is where they belong in the EPLnear the bottom. A joke of a team Ange and Levy notwithstanding.
We look to sign teenagers and anyone else we can get on the cheap. Players from low based teams. So get ready for some of the same next year and the year after.
Chuck the fool in the Mersey, the locals will think they have a whale
Maybe a team with world class players throughout would do ok with this system. We have no world class players and it's a disaster.
With the squad as it is we need a manager prepared to adapt the style to best suit the squad rather than X style no matter what. I agree it was worth a try, it's unacceptable to keep trying this with these level of results
He is almost at that point where he ruins Gray and Moore (and even other youngsters). Their spirits are broken and you do not see the hunger and joy in their play the way it was in August or September.
