No, sorry wasn’t clear was it really. That was generally on the idea you suggested about players being more likely to leave in a team doing well.

Ah, I get it.
You are a strong man.
Just that your legs, hands, neck and core are weak, right
? You literally try to use ONE game example when Spence was banished from playing at all for HALF A SEASON where Porro and Udogie were overworked? You cannot expect anyone to take you seriously, can you?
I do agree, some issues are outside of Ange control. Regarding Vicario and also abscentees of Bentancur had nothing to do with him. Also no issue with Richie - he was injury prone before and it was good he was not thrown in to start vs Everton, could have ended badly there.
Though I generally think that he was hired to achieve best possible results. I do not think that blind and oxygen-deprived running was a KPI in his contract. Neither was starting play as soon as possible in every situation. One has to be smart about these things. Ange game management is anything but smart.
at this point I'd take Mr Bean!!! Ange is fkin clueless, makes Gross look like a world beater. Ange is the worst Tottenham manager ever.
I'd take one of the Mr Men
In fact, I reckon we have a few at the club
Mr Greedy - Levy
Mr Grumpy, Mr Grumble, Mr Nobody or Mr Snotty - Ange
Mr Bump - most of the first team
Mr Lazy - Johnson
Mr Clumsy - Bissouma
Mr Slow - Deki
Mr Perfect - Archie Gray
Good. If any player has played a part in us finishing bottom half, we’d almost certainly be better off without them.
Maybe forgive the teenagers, otherwise, I’ll drive any of them to their next club.
Bissouma now injured with a hamstring strain.
I am sorry but anybody pretending this has nothing to do with Ange is insane. The evidence is overhwhelming.
I have never seen anything like it at a football club, it absolutely has to be down to Ange's training and methods.
Anyone waiting for the injury list to clear up to give Ange a fair crack of the whip is just stupid at this point, because as we are seeing, the injury list is never going to clear up at this point. Under Ange we will always have around 10 players injured, if not more.
Whatever he has the players doing in training is completely fucking up our squad.

And to an extent I agree, but who replaces them? And given the market we shop in now, where are we shopping if we finish 15th or below?
You trusting Levy to not “balance out the books” from not having European money??
No longer trust Levy, no.
Doesn’t matter who replaces them really. Will they do worse?
This squad should be top half, no matter who the owner is, who the manager is and how many injuries we have.
Oh on that I wholeheartedly agree, I know people on here debate how good this squad is, but it’s better than 15th for sure.
And its not that Biss was running to the ground in terms of played minutes. He played like 50% of available minutes in Premier League. Didnt play 90 minutes in the league since Liverpool battered us...
If your going on Sunday then bring your boots - let your boss know on the Friday that you will be unfit for work on the Monday
How about St. Jude? He's the Patron Saint of Hope and impossible causes.I'm sure Conte can recommend a good saint to pray to
Rich will be along presently to do exactly this. But of course it's the coaching, it's the lack of game management, it's the fucking dopey mad dash to get the ball back in play without being set, its the zero game management, . It's HIS ENTIRE TACTICAL ETHOS been saying it for a year with the same dopey wankers saying " But Liverpool press!"

Spence wasn’t banished for half a season. At least attempt to deal in facts. Spence was given a chance to earn a spot in the squad after years of not clicking with several managers in several clubs. He was the first defensive sub Ange made in the season, he also came off the bench against Coventry. Then he got injured. I’d say there was 1 maybe 2 games after that injury where I was thinking he probably could’ve got a chance. I think Ange was asked in one press conference then a game later he was playing.Ah, I get it.

Your last paragraph is waffle mate. You are just refusing to acknowledge that the club knew how he played football when they hired him and brought him to the club to do that. You really think Ange as stubborn as he is was ever in an interview saying that his philosophy was going to change?
Also Liverpool and other teams that press normally use triggers to press and target players. We quite often have 1 player press with no support. Our press even at its best has no coaching.
I wouldn’t. That squad is a mess and his mess to fix. Amorim would have had half a chance with a summer to fix things. He’s swimming against the tide trying to fix it now.
