It was confirmed as tactical
I assume it is his ideal style of play and it just wasn't working against this level of opposition. People are hailing Kulu for adapting to change in AM, but they forget that if Kulu was on the right he may have played better than Johnson there as well. People also forget Maddison AM and Son ST used to work well too so I don't buy into the idea of players are now in their best positions.
In fact the only reason Johnson hit form on the right is cause Ange made it his position when he was in worse form than Kulu. Ange literally played Johnson there through poor form. So my point is that if he wants two AMs he may also keep stubbornly playing it even through some negative results.
But it's not the first time he has changed his failing experiment at half time to good effect. Newcastle away was a better second half even though we lost in part due to Kulu as ST. People claim it is good management to change it and it is to an extent, but against top teams there is no free half of football.
then it was an excellent substitution and well done Ange. If the Brighton game is the start of him reacting sooner and also him realising that for these high pressure games it's best to go for a double pivot and get some sort of control in the middle then that might have been a game worth losing.
Sarr was absolutely fucking immense.
Fair enough !!
Im still super worried that Ange waits too long to make changes, and today’s result against a weak team at home might not be the catalyst for the change from Spursy=shit to Spursy=awesomeness
Fkn love the win and against the spam even better
Just praying to the great spaghetti monster that it is a true shift for us now

Why is it every time we win at home it’s against a weak team? We can only beat what’s in front of us and West Ham have some top players.
Just happy for the win really… actually fucking stoked!
The Brighton debacle fucked my confidence to be square though - i reckon Ange learned a lot from that one / so did a few of the legs
One win isn’t going to convince people that he will succeed. BUT… he did make a tactical change at HT and it worked. I felt, especially after Brighton he wasn’t good enough for this league. Maybe he will prove me wrong and I really hope he does.
He’s earnt some time and kudos today. No one should try to bring that down.

Brave sub taking Maddison off. Proved to be the right one. Probably won us the game.
Making a change at half time isn’t soon enough for you ?
Until he was sent off I thought kudus was probably the best player on the pitch. He looked far too good for them.
That's why it's such a joyous sending off. Now they'll be even shitter.
Just like a defeat or two doesn’t make him a terrible manager, a win or two doesn’t make him a world beater.
Like any manager, he needs time and support.
