It's absolutely no surprise at all that this nonsense is peddled exclusively by the same people who relentlessly bullied and abused Spurs fans simply for supporting the previous manager.
How many Tottenham staff does it take to screw in a light bulb?

3 of the Lewis kids to delegate the task
5 Tavistock lackeys to be present to take credit
Vinai and Lange to wait for either of them to make a decision, only to have the bought the wrong bulb anyway
Playing any midfield of that sort of composition whilst Xavi sits on the bench should be a sackable offence, it doesn't matter which 3 forwards you pick, it will take a miracle for them to provide a goal threat with a midfield as stodgy as that behind them, as none of our forwards are particularly creative themselves.
Xavi has also been very shit in that regard, he's on the same number of goal contributions as both Palhinha and Sarr in the league this season despite playing around 50% more minutes than Sarr.
I agree that he won’t be at fault if we get relegated.
He came in when we had a threadbare squad, and some of our available players have had some real brain farts leading to a stupid number of goals.
He does play a large part in some of our losses purely because of his setup, playing half the squad out of position and all around bonkers subs. Thats before we even get to what an utterly dour fellow he seems to be, which can’t be helping the mood.
I'm convinced everyday that coaches can get a team over the hump to an elite level, but for the most part its you either have good players or you don't. We don't.
According to Klinsmann's Wikipedia page he has an overall win percentage as manager of 54.41.
So using that figure he'd nearly get us 5 wins, 9 matches with 54.41 win percentage is 4.8969 wins.

He's been a let down yeah I'd agree, but he's the only fit player we have that is a "creative" AM and I think that's important to the composition.
Playing 3 plodders is always going to be a slog, I'd rather have someone trying to attack because that's their game, regardless of how good they are at it, than a player like Sarr trying it.
There's nothing to answer? No logical or remotely "sane" argument to rebut. All logical fallacy.
He made winning trophies "acceptable". He did that off the back of an unprecedented injury crisis. So, no - I don't accept your argument that he "made losing acceptable". Because it's utter nonsense.
How do we know this? Because United lost just as much as us. And they were 6th when they sacked their manager.
But the proof is in the pudding. None of you people believed any of this arrant nonsense before. You were all convinced Frank was "flying us up the table" in late August. Have a gander at this thread:
3 Big games in 10 days.... proper squad rotation. All 3 games - differently setup. All 3 games, very good performance from team. If we can do this, over the season then competing in all competitions should be no brainer....Only need that muppet Levy to back his manager in the market

What happened? Did Ange pop by to remind everyone he'd "made losing acceptable"?
No... what happened was we quickly reverted to the mean; suffered more horrendous injuries and now we might be relegated. There's plenty of reasons for this but NONE of them is "the blooke we sacked last May".
I wasn't convinced Frank was flying us up the league...but to excuse Postecoglou from any blame and say its delusional that he has any part in why we are bad is just wrong.

The number of player appearances in the europa league from arguably our best Team under Ange. VDV and Romero missed 1 knock out game as a pair.....
He didn't manage an injury crisis he refused to take the league seriously because he struggled to compete......he would never have been afforded the opportunity to have a shot at the europa league if last seasons bottom 3 teams were any good.
It’s the year 2035 and spurs have just suffered another relegation to the national league south and it’s all because Ange normalised losing in the season he won the EL!
And seriously, that cup win and the weeks that followed were amazing, just what we all needed after so many years.
I don't see why you're linking that to how shit we've been since?
