Management Johan Lange - Technical Director

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports


Quite an interesting read, suggesting that Lange focusing on data about player's physical output rather than their passing ability has created this garbage team.
Incredibly damning. One of the most expensive squads in world football and just two players in the top 150 passers in our domestic league.

Guy went luxury shopping and literally just bought the same thing and tried to call it a team.

This guy might be the worst thing that happy to Tottenham.

Make no mistake, EVERY manager we faced and face knows this and draw a WIDE smile on his face.

Aston Villa fired this guy (Yes, Aston $%^&## Villa) and ENIC hired him.

Its a lot of words to say what I and a few others have been saying for five years. I boiled it down to "Too many lungs on legs." I've used variants of this aporisim over and over and now its killed us. Others have too. There used to be the bloke that bemoaned our 'tiny dancers' he was wrong about most things, but that Lange Levey Ange Frank could not see the technical level of the football team utterly tanking is illustrative of how poorly they all understood football.

Modric Hoddel Eriksen Huddelston fucking Hossam Ghaly as passing midfielders none of the current squad get near them. Its become a weird baked in systemic blindness.

Only Kudus of our midfielders & attackers rated higher than 187th in the league for their passing by the source data referred to in that article - this is why our football has been so shit, more so than any manager

The technical quality of the squad has been atrocious for years. Even in the late Poch days, the fact he had a midfield pivot of Winks and Sissoko in the Chapions League final was abysmal.

Even after that the only really attempt we’ve made to improve the technical quality of the midfield was Ndombele and Lo Celso, and since they flopped we just decided we’d ignore that problem and pretend it never existed.

I think Mourinho and Conte would have been frustrated by this. Ange and Frank just seemed grateful to be here and didn’t want to rock the boat. We clearly didn’t have the technical quality for whatever he was trying to do but he kept playing this weird diplomatic role that made it look like his head was in the sand.

"I got just the fix... Connor Gallagher" - Johan Lange
 
Paratici gets away with a lot of shit but the majority of this squad is his, still if Lange had anything about him he'd realise the holes we have in this squad but he just compounded things.
 
Watching Lookman for Atletico tonight. Why the fuck did we not sign him? Both windows we had the chance to sign him, and what did we do? Decide that Kolo Muani and Conor fucking Gallagher were better options…

This fucking imbecile should never work in football again after this. All the work that took us from mid-table strugglers in the mid 00’s to top 4-6 near enough every season for over a decade, blown to smithereens by this cunt’s awful recruitment and squad profiling. We’re gonna have to start from scratch again because of him. ENIC are to blame for everything ultimately, but regardless of their culpability, they haven’t given him a budget that should have us battling relegation.

He isn’t just poor at his job or incompetent, he’s outright dangerous. He has fucking torpedoed this club, which is ironic, cause he looks like a pedo himself.
 
I've changed my mind.

I said him and the Gooner will prob stay until our fate is sealed but there's absolutely no reason to keep them now.

We're not getting another new manager before the end of the season. I don't want them anywhere near decisions that affect us going forward.

Get rid now. Show everyone that those responsible will pay the price for where they have us.

Ange & Frank are rich men, they didn't need to play the Diplomatic role, but they all do because they want their nose in the trough

I have to hold man hands up and say I was totally wrong about Lookman and it's nothing to do with the buyers remorse on Gallagher. I always thought Lookman was overrated but he is clearly very good. And to think we could of had him instead of Gallagher. Makes me sick but not suprised. Every decision this board make is guaranteed to be the wrong decision.

Fairs.

But why do you think you were wrong about Lookman ?
And if you were that wrong about Lookman maybe you've been wrong about a lot of other signings that were available but were scoffed at.

It's over anyway. There will be plenty of time for reflection and recrimination in the Championship...
