Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He's not saying it's a bad thing to be in cups and playing twice a week. I want him out but criticise fairly... he's saying it's a bad thing with a small, depleted squad to be playing twice week.

Indeed.

And in fairness, we finished 5th playing once a week last year. Considering we’d lost Kane and not signed any elite level forwards to replace him, it wasn’t a season that needed excusing.
 
Aussie media report FYI
So many things wrong with that article. The only thing right is the media having an agenda against us.
Eddie Howe had massive credit in the bank from Champions league etc. Also they still spent less than us.
And are in a final as it says. Unlike us
 
Well, and who the injuries are to.

Missing your central back trio is significant.

Liverpool without Allison VDV and Konate for 4 months
Woolwich without Raya Gabriel and Saliba for 4 months

Makes a big difference - and for 100% we should still be doing much better than we have - but still
agree injuires to first teamers has a big impact But if the second string players are not the same standard a good manager/coach changes the way the team plays,
WHY has he not changed the way we play ? hes EGO is too big for he's skill level
 
Why is it people can’t understand that we are being beaten because our team is basically fighting every game with one leg.
We were yielding to the likes of Ipswich with a full strength team at home under Ange before all of this happened. We've been average under this guy for over a year.

You and others can back him. I have zero issue with that personally. But accept that some of us don't believe anymore and all of this Ange in vs Ange out tribal warfare isn't really helping anybody.

I don't think Levy really gives a shit about the domestic cups which is why Ange is still here. He wants him to win the Europa league and I want nothing more myself. So whether Ange goes or stays, I want us to lift that trophy, as we all should.

I agree - he should have been playing differently and we would almost definitely be in a better position....
 
What he doesn’t like doing is paying compensation to get the talent out of clubs which has definitely caused us bother in recent times … but actually managers wanting to come I genuinely don’t have a worry about this

imo he’s not gonna sack Ange til end of season he’s got good time to line up the right replacement without the previous clown show

Just my two cents worth
But I thought Levy paid managers well, so which one is it?
It’s all there in the original quote mate
 
The bloodlust for a sacking of a manager on here is insane.
We're Tottenham supporters, we want what's best for the club. The current 'manager' has had a transient career, not really stayed anywhere much longer than 2 years, he isnt a Tottenham legend and he has zero credit in the bank. The club gave him a chance (wrongly as is now clear) and it hasnt worked. He's had more chances than better managers who did have credit in the bank. If you're not getting results you get sacked, that is the nature of the game.

I dont know how any Tottenham fan and we're talking ones that supported us before 1st June 2023 can look at the state we're in and think yes we need to carry on with this. Levy is a bigger issue but Postecolglou is way out of his league and we need to stop the bleeding.
 
Please take a god damn look at yourselves, do you think you fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins or the bloody milkman. Whoever got you supporting this club, the purest football club in the world.
This is my favourite paragraph.

Where, with a head of steam, he appeals to the emotions of our nearest and dearest, but then forgets to add a verb.

Such passion.

I don't really know how to evaluate/explain this, it seems to me we are playing differently.

Previously it felt as though we did have a plan, it was flawed but you could see what we were trying to do. With all the injuries, and apparent lesser players coming in, you could expect to see the flaws magnified and the rewards reduced, that would be perfectly understandable.

But now, it feels like we've gone from a flawed plan, to no plan at all.

We're not seeing the same style just executed less well. I watch us and have no idea what we're even doing, worse, I don't think the players do either. We're not gung-ho attacking and shipping goals as a result, we look inept at the back but entirely impotent up top.

We used to have tons of the ball but struggle to break through packed defences, now we can barely string two passes together, nobody seems to run into space to create an option for whoever has the ball, it seems everyone is just sprinting forward with no real plan.

For me it seems like stuff that should be being rectified on the training ground. The Man Utd game should give a strong indication of whether the current coaching team can turn anything around, some players back, 1 week to prepare. If it's still an absolute clusterfuck on Sunday then it doesn't look promising for Ange and his crew.

It’s actually very mild considering we haven’t been this bad for nearly 30 years and given the fact the manager was already massively under qualified to get the role in the first place.

Not a single other big club (I’m including villa and Newcastle) would accept this, but large portion of our fanbase been brainwashed by this guys PR
