Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’m feeling the need to formulate a more sophisticated opinion than ‘Ange in’ when we’re winning and ‘Ange out’ when we’re not. How about ‘Ange in - but I wish he put more emphasis on game management and was a bit less chippy sometimes’?

There are lots of positives. Above all, I really love that we’re scoring loads of goals, cause who doesn’t love a good goal? And we still have three realistic opportunities of winning something. It might come to nothing, that’s ok. Happy to see where he takes us, this team still has a lot of growth in it. I might say something different in a year if there’s no progress but I’m enjoying this season.

Some criticisms of Ange are justified. But he also gets a lot of stick because he dares to be different, and the football media is just so lazy and conservative. There are so many cliches about how you’re supposed to play and I think Ange just blows their minds sometimes.

Yeah, taught me to stick him back on ignore where he belongs.

Incredible how people behave towards one another on here, truly eye opening at times.

Again the irony.

I haven't insulted you, haven't called you names, and I haven't behaved in any way in the manner you are suggesting. I merely highlighted the irony of you complaining about being insulted when you're labelling others as dense, or anyone of the various 'insults' you've been dishing out over the past few weeks at anyone who still has faith in our manager.

Let's face it, I'm on ignore because you can't handle what I post, it shines a light on just how facile your assertions are. It's fairly evident that all you really want is an echo chamber. You can't engage in a proper argument (argument not a fight), so your way of dealing with that is to ignore it, just like you'll ignore this one and pretend I'm on your list.

Word on the street (ok the forum) is that he’s 6’4 and built like a Scottish brick shithouse. And he’s from Aberdeen.

6’7”, but who’s arguing over a few inches?

And yes Dark Shadow , I am almost as mouthy in real life. Probably slightly less of a cunt than I am on here, but not massively different.

Spot on.

I’ve had concerns with things that have happened under Ange, although I would say a lot of that is player error - that isn’t his fault.

Overall, he is exactly the manager we need. He just gets it. He’s got the influence to create an underdog/siege mentality in us.

Could he be more flexible? Yes. But this way of playing seems so daft, that it probably will pay dividends eventually

We should have some concerns. Always will without an almost perfect record.

But, it’s looking like ENIC aren’t going to pony up the cash for us to compete for the very best players, so we have to try something different.

A mental manager and a wild method of playing may be the thing.
 
makes me laugh reading idiots talk about player errors lol. the kamikaze tactics puts unnecessary stress on certain players and guess what stress causes???

if you're going to keep asking forster to play out you're going to get cheap goals against you. 3-0 up and ends up being 4-3 and a goal that wouldnt of been given had VAR been in use.

to be fair, hes got some cult idiots, the other lot are just idiots who just haven't got a clue what they are talking about anyway lol. player errors....,
 
Guys, can we just chill a bit... you can be Ange out and still celebrate a win like last nights. The two are not exclusively mutual. Do I think Ange is right for us? - No, too many weak displays against piss poor teams
Do I think Ange will win a trophy for us? - No, but I really hope he does... and if he does... I'll proclaim him as the second coming
Do I think Ange has been dealt a rough hand - 100%, transfer window left him short and the injuries and suspensions have hurt
Do I want us to lose to force a managerial change - 1000% NO, I never want us to lose!!!
Do I still celebrate when we win - Damn right I do!!! But my view on Ange won't change unless I can see some evidence that we can consistently beat teams with far inferior budgets / players than us
If we lose, do I sit here saying I told you so? - No, because I don't tell any fan how to fan (terrible US saying)... I have my views, you have yours and we can co-exist no problem

Obviously, I’m not convinced Ange is the man for the job based on the evidence we’ve seen so far. That said, while I’m not sold on him, my opinions are never rigid, nor will they ever be on any subject.

If I Strip away my personal feelings about the man’s personality and his ridiculous statements that he makes at times, then it ultimately boils down to results. I’m open to being won over by a genuine run of consistent form—though to be clear, it’ll take more than just two or three wins in a row to sway me personally.

At the end of the day, I just want what’s best for the football club, and I’ll back whoever I believe can deliver that, I can respect that everyone has a different opinion on this though and have no issue with people believing he is the right man, my problem is always with people ignoring obvious issues (which I believe anybody genuine would recognise) but the same is also to be said for people who can’t recognise any positives.
