Can't take much from that. Our xg has caught up with us now so I doubt we're on course for that at all unless something changes.
Plus we're getting worse.

Can't take much from that. Our xg has caught up with us now so I doubt we're on course for that at all unless something changes.
Plus we're getting worse.
But what is this “ New Philosophy “ .
I don’t really understand modern tactics; and it beats me .
At least under Ange we had See Spot Run talking us through it .
How radically different is TF’s system that it takes our players 6 months plus to even have a clue how to enact it .
Genuine question to those who understand modern football tactics.
Why are you resorting to insults here.
You're comparing the start of the 2nd season of Postecoglu, with few notably injuries, with a team that had a over a year of his "training" in his system, in a season that started well but fell off a cliff from this point onwards.
It's 2 + 2 = egg
The issue here is that I can read; you're claiming impartiality but completely disregarding any fair comparison.
Being realistic, there was next to nothing good at all about either Postecoglou season apart from the first 10 games, so why can't we compare across the last 26 PL games?
Ange: P13 W2 D2 L9 = 8 points from 39; 15 goals scored, 28 conceded
Frank: P13 W5 D3 L5 = 18 points from 39; 21 goals scored, 16 conceded
That would be fair, considering frank is also juggling a ton of injuries, Champions League football, AND having to continue from what was left over.
He didn't pick up a team off the back of a top 5 finish with a fully fit first team squad
Umm, no... I also compared it to the first 11 games of last season when the back 5 were more or less available so it's an accurate dataset. I DIDN'T include game week 12 which we won 0-4 because Romero and VDV were missing. As was Vic after game week 12.
SO I showed the available data from when the Back 5 were available and playing in the league.
I then showed the EL games because those were the only games they played together in when they returned to fitness in March 25. As I said Romero and VDV only started as a partnership in the league twice in three months.
So... my pedantry was selective in the only possible way it could be selected: when the Back 5 played
Great contribution.
If the tosser in your profile picture could stop doing dumb shit then maybe we’d have some more points.
Makes air quotes: “We’d”.
Mate, some of the Top Fan stuff works from people who have been to a game in their life, not some fucking Romero obsessed yank who probably winces whenever an Englishman touches the ball for us.
Ooof this is not good reading.
I mean.. in a vacuum it kind of shows how fucking pointless all the americanised excel spreadsheeting of football is.
If I 'expected' the bus to arrive on time and it was always early or late, then I'd be a fool for holding that expectation
Our bus parks in front of our goal and never leaves
52 is still not good enough.
And they're both just managers who are out of their depths at big clubs.
How anyone can still be making excuses for Frank are just deluding themselves.
Yeah we’re going to see a lot of that when you get dumped out in the group stage of your own World Cup.
So how much more worse does Frank have to be than Nuno before he deserves the sack too?
It's weird to me that one manager gets the sack for poor league form, and another manager has worse form and isn't sacked.
Make it make sense without pretending that Conte was going to join on game week 11 regardless of Nuno's performance, as others seem to have stated on here.
Lost the dressing room and at the point of no return
I think it was the poor Woolwich match that really done for Nuno, it was as bad as our match with them recently.
Another weird one to me is AVB has the third highest win ratio in the club's history, the other two were one during WW2, and one around about when the club was first founded.
Get that, better than Pochettino, better than Burkinshaw, better than Nicholson.
This is one very weird club.
