Yeah it’s like his saying the results would have been much better. Like when we lost to Ipswich at home or Leicester with nearly full strength sides. Don’t think Leicester have won a game since. Yet he can say that bs with a straight fa e.

I didn't, maybe there should be a player clean out then if they are not putting in!
After all no player is bigger than the club.
Still one more league game left. Which will be awkward if win the damm thing.
We e let in 59 goals now I think so on track to beat last season.
I wonder if the lap of honour will go ahead after the Brighton game?
You’ve also seen through Levy’s plan I see!
By keeping Ange he can write off next season too if he sacks him in November. Then it’s another year of standing still and not having to properly invest.
He's also likes to remind us that Spurs haven't won a trophy in forever and plays into this.
He must have realised last season that he'd been found out in the PL and had no answers. So this season he figures I'll go all out for EL as it's the easiest one to win and then I get to be that man that finally brought a trophy to Spurs. It was the only way to salvage his reputation in his mind.
The second he said I always win a trophy in my second season his mind will be obsessed with this. He went all out for a league cup too at the expense of anything else or stability. A fucking league cup.
He's an actual idiot. Horrifically out of his depth
Not really fair to compare that 2016 Dortmund team to any of the teams we've faced in this years Europa League . They were genuinely Champions League caliber.
And if we win it will be the greatest achievement in the last 40 years.
I watch most of Ange’s press conferences.
I remember the one after losing to Fulham in the league cup last year where he played a weakened team. He said trophies won’t define us, he’s much more interested in the journey and changing the mentality of the club, week in/week out.
And now 18 months later, for Ange and for ppl like you, the league form - clearly the main journey of any season - is irrelevant compared to winning a trophy.
Care to explain? Everyone contradicts themselves from time to time but this is macro strategy/philosophy stuff and from my viewpoint it sounds like Ange changes it to suit the current situation he’s in. And that’s all sorts of unimpressive isn’t it?

So, how hoes that 11 compare to
Kinsky, Davies, Porro, Gray, Davies, Spence, Sarr, Bentancur, Kulu, Odobert, Tel
The difference is; one of them got into a European Final, the other fizzled out at the last 16.
Not quite as humiliating as coming third in a 2 horse race; and leaving with no trophy. I get reminded of Poch's comedy fuck up almost daily by my scouser mates. Thankfully they have now moved onto Arteta, who has 'Done a Poch'.
Is coming 16th in the Premier League any different to coming 16th in the Europa / Champions League?
If a manager gets 4th in the league but is knocked out of all cups in the first round/league stage, people say that manager has done a good job. If a manager gets Europa League final, carling cup semi final but struggles in the league he is considered an absolute idiot and has no idea what he’s doing. I struggle to make sense of this.
I think he deserves another season based on what has happened in the cups…

Completely agree. We are in 4 competitions this season, have reached a final in 1, and a semi final in another.
Once the injuries mounted up, we did not have the squad to compete across all 4 competitions - so we had to pick our battles. The signings in Jan came too late to salvage the Premier League.
I don’t understand putting up with getting thrashed week in and week out because we progressed in the Europa league. His overall win rate, even in all comps is abysmal. The worst part of it all is our defending, it’s up there with the worst in the league.
He has produced a handful of brilliant all out attacking performances and I’m grateful for getting this far in Europe. All we need is one more good version of Ange ball, the kind that we don’t concede first, have only 1 or 2 shots on target and end up with two players injured. I’m fully backing Ange for the Final, but that’s it.
We have to be consistently good, not dreadful and lucky.
If we were found out last season; explain why 1/3rd of the way through this season we were just 4 points off 2nd place, having just beaten the league champions?
What a wanker for trying to win trophies.
Agree. It is completely unacceptable and an insult to our season ticket holders that we have not performed in the EPL. My view is that existing season ticket holders should be given a significant discount for next season (circa 50%).
However, we have to have a balanced view to understand what drove these decisions.
- An injury list that no other prem team has EVER had to contend with
- A number of squad players that were clearly below the required level to be playing regular games (Biss, Werner, Davies, Gray, Reggie, Bergvall, Sarr, Spence)
