Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The problems with Ange is we can't defend set pieces and he doesn't have a plan B . Most times this season we concede a goal and instead of changing it up we concede another almost identical goal . Two goals from avoidable corners took the game from 1 -0 up to 2-1 down yesterday . From then we were chasing the game . What does Ange do - stands there with his arms folded or his hands in his pockets . The same thing happened when we were 0-2 up away to Brighton . Their manager changed it up at half time and we conceded 2 quick goals straight after the start of the 2nd half . Buying more players won't change the Modus Operandi . I'm not annoyed at the loss yesterday , I'm annoyed at the manner of that loss . I expected us to get beat after the hangover from the bus parade . To go a goal up and miss decent chances to go further in front , and to then concede sloppy goals is just not on . 22 defeats this season . The numbers point to the EXIT door for Ange
 
I was fully Ange in after Wednesday and I’m now Ange out again.

It’s about risk assessment and the risk of our form under him continuing is just too great a risk.

If Ange was a manager at another club and we were looking to bring him in after the season he just had, would we?

I am also seeking psychiatric help🕺🕺
 
I honestly think, 4 legit starting quality players takes us to levels I don’t want to say because it’s not the time to start upsetting the melts yet.

RW: Mbuemo, Cherki
AM: Eze, Cherki, Paz,
6/8: Cardoso, Palinha
LCB/LB: Hincapie

None of those are impossible to do.

Then you need to make decisions on who you replace in the squad if they leave like Richy, Son, Biss/Bent. Romero has to stay
Starting point has got to be a clear out and get some decent money. Bin Tel for starters abd get a proper wide player. Richi, son, Davies, reg, Forster, and a few others can go. I’d bin Wilson and even Johnson if forest paid the money we paid for him. Get real quality wide forwards bolstered by our own young players. We need to brutal which in the past we have never done. Ok Johnson has done well with the goal tally no doubt. But even Yday he offers nothing with the ball at his feet. He never looks for the ball when he is out wide. Basically all our attacks have to come down the left side unless Porro swings one. Impact sun at best. Remember the game v Tamworth he was awful. That front 3 was diabolical that day. No more of that shite.
 
He says he can’t understand why some fans want him out after an unprecedented season.

According to the Oxford dictionary - unprecedented :- “never done or known before.“

Either he’s unaware of our previous cup victories in Europe or he’s only referring to recent seasons. If, according to his interpretation of the word, then it’s also unprecedented, over the last few decades, that we’ve last had so little league points, so many league losses and ended up so low down the table.

If he wants to take credit for the EL win, then he should, equally, take responsibility for the poor PL season.

There are two sides to a coin. You can’t polish one side and gloat over it whilst keeping the other side dull and neglecting it.

I agree on them. I'd have a massive preference for Wharton over Cardosa/Palinha but appreciate that its very unlikely we'll spend the 80m+ to get Wharton. However I do think us being in the CL means he would actually come here providing City or Liverpool aren't in for him.
 
He did. Absolutely he did.

But recently, has he shown signs of learning? I'd say yes, he has. That scrappy 1-0 the other night might have been quite significant.
This is the thing now. Everyone wanted / liked Ange bcos of the football he wanted to play. Yet here we are after 3 KO rounds of Europa and the final having played football not even Jose or conte dished up. If anyone says they enjoyed the football most of this season is kiddo g themselves. The flip flops / somersaults are amazing.
Yes take the trophy and he did by hook or crook but let’s not pretend we did it in style of football in keeping with spurs tradition or what many fans wanted after Jose and conte ball.

Wharton will be a Real Madrid level player, he won't leave now when he can leave for a bigger club in a couple of years.

The flip-floppers are fun in an excruciating way tbh, it’s the “I’m changing my mind on him for the 278th time this season, but I’m glad I was always right about him” vibe.

Imagine trying to order dinner with one though 🙈
 
If fourth was the plan last summer with this squad then the entire club was smoking something really good.

Can't you see the squad at the start of the season was woefully shallow in talent and experience? When the injuires came even less so. You're not getting fourth with Archie Gray and Ben Davies as you two CB's my friend and Brain fart Bissouma screening them.

If there are no serious recruits coming in, no way is this squad getting fourth next season not matter who manages
True but he was happy with the squad. If target was 4 or title challenge then why did agree to all the signings and say he was happy with the squad. Can’t have it both ways. If he wanted to challenge for top 4 / title especially after finishing 5 previous season he would have known what type of players we needed. Are we now saying this season we had go backwards first league wise.

If he was challenged over the poor defending numbers, he would probably say, its who we are mate there is no issues.
Winning the EL has bought him a temporary stay of execution.

Well I don't know of any team that has qualified for any European comp from 17 th in the league with 11 wins-surely that is unprecedented? haha.
 
Yeah all doable but mind this is Levy ffs he’s previous for dragging his heels and letting the players we need go somewhere else
Factor in what type of player Ange wants. Based on what we have seen so for we have a forward line most teams in the PL would avoid like a barge pole. I just do not trust him with transfers and his BS the squad is good enough. He said all that last summer. Think someone posted his comments on here about it.
