I think we have to consider that he’s not from the UK and English isn’t his first language.Literal quote from Ange from his post-match press conference -
"We created enough opportunities to win the game".
So let's look xG -
Tottenham 1,27
Leicester 1,40
Yes, yes - I agree that xG is not a magical stat and it can mislead in some instances. For example - when one team scores early and other is chasing a goal for like 85 minutes but game ends in 1:0 still - it is likely that losing team has higher xG as they have put lot of resources into finding equalizing goal.
But fucksake - yesterday - first 32 minutes we were 0:0 against relegation-fighting side at home.
And for last 40 minutes we were BEHIND in a game against relegation-fighting side.
But even IN THAT CONTEXT they produced more danger across 90 minutes.
And then manager comes out and repeats his catchphrase of "We created enough". He literally has said this after 10+ games we havent won this season across all comps.
Does he have ANY grasp on real world at this point? Cause everyone with two eyes saw that we created very little threat yesterday. Nowhere near enough.
Totally. I'm actually feeling a bit guilty for slagging off Mourinho so much. 7th and a league cup final is starting to look like the glory glory days.I know that as a club we are meant to be attack minded and have a flowing offense.
But after all of this, I am never going to turn my nose up at a well structured defense again.
Shit you notYou don't have to read it now either - no-one if forcing you.
But I understand that you have a shitty day so you're doing your best to spread your shit. Sorry to disappoint you but your shit doesn't actually effect me.
Give up. You've got nothing.
When last week I posted actual points per game stats (you know - facts) you had nothing to say for that.
When today I pointed out that Spence played just 4,7% of minutes in EPL while Udogie was struggling for form - you've got nothing relevant to say about it (just some subjective opinions in your head). And then my posts are emotional. Sure. Sure thing![]()
Even more unreal is if you pop in to the ENIC thread 41 posters are still "Levy IN"Genuinely unreal that they're STILL sticking with him. Levy and Ange will relegate this club, mark my words.
I said it when everyone was being wet muppets about Conte.I know that as a club we are meant to be attack minded and have a flowing offense.
But after all of this, I am never going to turn my nose up at a well structured defense again.
We're on the brink of a horror week...
Losing to Brentford and going out of both domestic cups.
If we pull off a genuine football miracle and survive Anfield next week, then what?
Does he get to the final?
Cause the final is MARCH 16th.
Before then (after the 2nd leg) we have to play:
Villa - FA Cup
Man United League
Ipswich away League
City home League
Bournemouth home League
Pretty much the long and short of it one would think.Levy playing the long game with this one.
I think he knows relegation is pretty long odds, so let the window close, give Ange a chance to fuck up some cup games and then the axe drops.

Honestly, at this point the silver lining of relegation seeing that dick Levy get what he deserves is very close to the front of my thoughts...Genuinely unreal that they're STILL sticking with him. Levy and Ange will relegate this club, mark my words.
If you're thinking you're funny...well, you're not
Same.Totally. I'm actually feeling a bit guilty for slagging off Mourinho so much. 7th and a league cup final is starting to look like the glory glory days.
I get the impression it’s because the alternatives are horrible. It’s going to be Mason until we can try and get someone in the summer.

I'm genuinely mulling over giving up my season ticket but telling the wife I still have it.
I could just sit in the car for 6 hours on a match day to get some "me time"
It's not a dream, more like lurching from one nightmare to the next being stalked by an overweight Australian version of Freddie Kruger.Horror week, that would be the end of Ange for sure. Surely that’s a dream week for a lot of people on here?
Genuinely unreal that they're STILL sticking with him. Levy and Ange will relegate this club, mark my words.
Dunno mate. He’s been given big purchases like VDV and Solanke but the vast majority of his senior rotation has been gutted and replaced with kids on lower wages.
