ange cannot fail. we can only fail ange
Or it could just be a load of made of bollocks?!
Most of the time stuff trotted out in the UK press is complete tosh, or opinion dressed up as fact. What makes it suddenly gospel just because it relates to football?!
It would have legs like a 2 pairs of giant anal beads
When he arrived here, we heard that his Celtic side suffered a lot of similar injuries.
When he arrived , he said to fans to expect lots of similar injuries to the players in the initial stages due to his training methods (and possibly in-game tactical systems) but all would be fine after the players had gotten used to it.
It’s been 1.5 seasons now and the injury situation seems to be getting worse.
if he’s blaming the injury list for our poor performances and results, why doesn’t he change the training methods?

Brilliant interview but you missed one thing his tactics worked at Celtic because Celtic could control games because they were better than the rest of the league because the quality in Scottish Premier League is low. We do not have the advantage of that. So injuries will continue and people will say wait until we get our injured players back.
Ange Postecoglou: Is Tottenham manager's style causing Spurs injury crisis?
Sports scientist Anton McElhone has worked closely with Ange Postecoglou at Celtic and speaks to BBC Sport about his methods.www.bbc.co.uk
Worth a read. Someone with the qualifications to know said this:
“BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club spoke to sports scientist Anton McElhone, who worked for Postecoglou at Celtic and for Tottenham under Mauricio Pochettino.
"Ange is very clear 'This is how I do it at each club.'
"The players will adapt to it over the months. It was a collaboration. He wanted us delivering the philosophy of 'football first' - everything must start and end with the ball.
"Ange is very good at giving players time off, time to reflect. The training volume is good. “
Mauricio Pochettino brought in front-foot football at Spurs. But to get that style, it probably took six to 12 months. The intensity was through the roof.
"It's survival of the fittest for players. You need to be young, you need to be healthy, you need to have a certain physicality about you, and a mentality to get through that.
"To get that in the Premier League, you do have to train quite extensively for it. But you need the right tools, by that I mean the right players. They need to be robust enough, and I don't know at the moment at Tottenham…
Ange is his own man, he's an exceptional leader and very strong and understanding, and has a good background in sports science and education from Australia."
At Celtic after six months Postecoglou could rotate the front five at 65 or 65 minutes to keep the freshness for the 60-game season," reflected McElhone.
"At Tottenham he's probably found that a lot more difficult because I don't think the strength in depth is the same as other Premier League clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea.
"Look at the evolution at Celtic under Postecoglou, we had a three-month period of sustaining injuries every week, mostly hamstring injuries. We had to get to the winter break to reset."
"As the players adapted to the demands of the system, the game fluctuation changed rather than that constant 'basketball' up and down the pitch, the team was able to control one half of the pitch more.

That’s not what it said.
Popeye....
Our press is fucking horrendous. I’d say it’s our main problem which is contributing to everything else being shit.
My only hope is that the statements of support are just face saving PR because we don't want to present panic publicly and that, like with previous sackings, Levy wants to secure the plan before dropping the axe. Whether that's a new permanent appointment (preferred, and Iraola preferred), or a caretaker until the end of the season (Mason).
Last week of a transfer window is also a terrible time to sack a manager, and the unsure status we're in right now is certainly making it very, very difficult to recruit.
Stupid we didn't sack him sooner - giant mistake that will have plenty of negative knock on effects.
People here are clamouring for any type of 'win'. Apparently winning the league cup is like the holy grail. If we do go down, which I doubt, least we can 'win' the Championship and satisfy the weirdos on here.
Mate we’d finish second. Or lose the play off final.
A) If finishing in the bottom 3 and winning a cup is good for you then you need to get checked out
B) I have nothing else. This is all just madness
The other logical fallacy is that because Spurs had a series of managers who were fired quickly you can't fire this one quickly. Each hiring or firing was an decision that was independent of the others.
I had Ange as Mr Topsy-Turvy
