There's no world where I can see this happening.
If grasping at straws, two things.
There's not a club in the club with as much unfulfilled potential as us given income potential, facilities.
As squads not quite there goes, we actually have a decent squad distribution for the way Inzaghi has prefered to play at Inter. As a bonus, we may get a season more of quality Son if he gets to play as part of a front two.
In two seasons how often has this so called great attacking philosophy called ‘Angeball’ actually been seen. We see it in moments. Our attacking play on the whole is shite when we have more of the ball. Our best moments come from transition.
Agree with this. Our current squad is much better for counterattacking. Don’t have the quantity that can break down organized defenses
He never admits he gets things wrong.
Wonder what he would have said if we list the final.
Exactly- we are mostly playing counter ball, and our fan base barely realizes it.
And about 50 points
Certainly wouldn’t call it ‘outstanding’ like he did. Especially after changing the goal posts every week and a 101 excuses.
Have we scored a goal like the Brighton lad did for their 4th. I can’t see anyone of our forwards bang in a goal like that.
Even the Brighton coach who is 32 has them playing a better brand of football than we do. They also keep going. I’ve seen lots of games in the past two years where we allow games to peter out after a good 15 min spell. Brighton kept going yday. I’d say their coach has managed to do more in one year with cheap points than Ange has in two years in terms of setting up the team and style of play.
Sarr hit a real nice one from deep right-center earlier this season. That was about it though.
Hopefully we can get Bergvall and him clicking together and have a bit more from outside the box next season. Bentancur and Bissouma are just not going to be any kind of reliable scorers as CMs.
If we want to have a real go at the EPL and Champions League.
- Vast improvements to medical department.
- Romero and Porro stay.
- New number 6 to replace Bissouma.
- Bring in the best goalkeeping coach alive to work with Kinsky and Vic.
- Sell Spence; and get 2 full backs who can compete with Porro and Udogie.
- If Richy isn't physically capable, sell and bring in a striker.
- Dragusin and Kulu will likely be out until later this year. We can't rely on 18 year olds to fill the void. Get some experience players (on loan) to fill the void.
Agreed. His Tottenham sides have rarely played in the style of all of his other teams that I have seen play. I put it down to the coaching staff who have failed in making the vision reality, but ultimately the buck stops with him.
I'd add overhaul the coaching team.
Well, I do agree some changes would be good. I do think Ange as the head coach to lead the team is a good appointment.
Logic says that brining in some specialist defensive and goalkeeper coaching would be wise. I'd love it if we could get Modric is as an apprentice coach.
Inzaghi is only 49, he probably rightly thinks he has plenty of time in his 60s to go to somewhere like KSA/Qatar or a prestigious international job to pick up millions in semi-retirement, and plenty left to achieve in Europe yet. I do think there is some more temptation than usual in the Spurs job at current for managers, we have CL which gives us the opportunity to build the squad from a better pool of players, but we also finished 17th, which is the measure by which their first season will be judged on. It's not really a stretch to think we could tempt Inzaghi here considering the Paratici return and the fact we've had Conte and Mourinho here in recent years, if we can get him we should.
Re your first bullet, shouldn't that be more about improvements to training? We should be aiming to have fewer injuries in the first place (as well as a medical team that helps players recover quickly )
Who did? Ange or Spurs?
Well Conte and Jose have slagged off Levy constantly since leaving for having no ambition and letting them down . So if Inzaghi can read or has a TV I imagine he rightly wouldn’t touch us with a barge pole under ENIC .
