At least the number of Ange profile pics has on here as pretty much diminished. I think we're down to the last 3 now

Other than when he publicly said Werner’s performance wasn’t good enough ( in the context of he’s a German international and should be better) he has NEVER blamed the players. He constantly defends them and says the blame lies with him.
You can hate Ange and want him sacked etc etc but don’t sprout bullshit. He has stated they’re fatigued, they’re knackered, they’re young etc but he’s never said they’re not good enough for his system.

The most Spurs like thing that could happen is a small rally to finish the season, Postecoglou comes back for 25/26, then we settle comfortably into 6th place while showing just enough promise to keep a divided fan base arguing about whether we're just about to turn things around. Sometime in 2028 the team is sold and the new owners bring in their own manager, an American with prior experience in an indoor league in Albania but a new system that is guaranteed to give us our Tottenham back......again.

Generally he hasnt. Kind of did after dippers game though. So he has the players good enough for the system. So why are we absolutely muck

Pretty simple for most of us who want him to be given a chance - let him have a run of games with a decent pool of players and replacements and if we're still losing continually, then like any manager he would need to move on .
Sacking him under the current circumstances are like criticising a boxer for failing to win fights when his arms are tied behind his back.
And spare me the bullshit of trying to make an analogy of him tying his arms behind his own back, because that makes as much sense as him crippling his current squad of players.

With the exception of Solanke; didn't Ange start last season with the exact scenario you hypothetically want him to have now?

And wasn't the outcome of that a decent 10 game run followed by lots of injuries and a period of inconsistent results and performances?

Is it reasonable to conclude, that after 18 months, Ange needs more time?

sorry when i hear him complain about injuries and throw up the straw man that people are attacking the players and they're playing their hearts out, i hear the subtext that the players he has now aren't good enough to compete and that's why we are where we are in the table. it's not that complicated to see

Completely agree with your point

Reading through this thread you can see three sets of content
Negativity - more space to grow, it generates exposure and creates traction
Positivity - more prone to being lambasted, often referred to as a cult mentality
Logical thought - has the least space of the three, it is more often that not incomprehensible

He's actually giving them an excuse to underperform with the tiredness bullshit.

The injuries I can accept.

The fault for the injuries is another issue.

No shots on target in a semi final is just not on.

The attacking players and midfield players Spurs fielded might not have been good enough to win the game against Liverpool but to not register a single shot on target is a disgrace.
 
Arteta gets few injuries esp at striker going TO Leicester
What did he do? find a solution and WIN.

Ange gets few injuries and plays Leicester AT HOME
What did he do? LOSES and then cries about injuries.

As much as I detest that club it’s true , big teams find a way , small clubs hide behind excuses.

Son hit the crossbar would it been less of a disgrace if he hit it straight at the keeper 🤔

Fuck Off with gooner praise.

Have a dig at Ange, who cares but don't use it as a way to sneak in a quick blow job for Arteta.
