I get that you’re probably a few decades younger than me . Back in the day even Terry Neill and even relegation wasn’t the end of the world; because back then we could bounce back and win something. And in the meantime the football was like watching the Royal Ballet in front of 30-40 thousand like-minded people. It was that good.

Forty-Fifty odd years later and things have changed: I get that ; but please G we do the business against Bodo/Glimt , get into a European final and win the fuc@ing thing .

Thereafter you can sh@t your pants about Ange , all summer long .

Deal ?

United is in a similar position to us but Amorim used the game against Wolves to play some youngsters where Fredricson in particular played great by the sound of things. Why can't we do anything remotely similar? Why is Gray not getting any minutes at his best position? Why is a barely fit Maddison getting a spot on the bench ahead of Moore? We're losing anyway so why not do it by giving some players meaningful minutes? What do we gain by seeing the likes of Sarr and Johnson yet again?

It’s bcos Ange has no real
Belief in our academy players. Im
Sure players like donley, lankshear, Moore. Devine, etc would have done no worse than the expensive overpaid shit we have been watching play.
 
I’m not convinced he gets one over the bodo glimt manager. He seems a pretty switched on guy, which will be enough to cause us problems. We are all expecting to beat them but football doesn’t work like that and Ange has more than enough about him to completely fuck it all up.

Ange got shown up by the Tamworth manager, I wouldn’t make us favourites against anyone with him in charge.
 
It makes you wonder how Ange won anything in his career. I'm not being funny but surely Motherwell, Kilmarnock and Raith Rovers are better than Tamworth. Or is the Scottish Prem worse than National League. Genuine question. I look at that Tamworth game where the team we put out would cost twenty times more than his best Celtic team and if Tamworth could figure it out why couldn't the other Scottish sides figure it out. They surely have more resources than Tamworth. I'm not changing my tune on Ange. I'd have sacked him after Ipswich game but how has he managed to win stuff when his footbsll is so easy to play against.
 
It’s a given that the club is an absolute mess, recruitment a shambles, no leaders in the dressing room, Levy and ENIC must go etc etc etc.

We all either watch and go to Spurs games week in week out. Anyone closely following it who knows and understands the game can see that Big Ange is completely out of his depth and it has been a shambles from 10 games in last season.

One thing I will give him credit for, he mightn’t know much about coaching or managing a football team, but he’s a master b*llshit artist. There’s not many clubs that he’d still be in situe after the near two seasons of abject results and performances that he’s presided over with us. He’s spun out this narrative that he’s a coaching revolutionary genius that an ungrateful fanbase and a mess of a club don’t deserve. Sir Alex took 4-5 years to get a grip of things at Old Trafford, I’m in that elite sort of company, know what I’m doing and give me time and breathing space to work my magic.

A lot of the press and media seem to be lapping up his nonsense as well. The spin is, Spurs are a toxic, impatient and ungrateful fanbase. They can’t keep sacking their manager and need to eventually back somone long-term. Just our luck that after burning his way through something like 20 managers in 25 years, when Levy eventually decides to double down and go into full Dolly Parton stand by your man mode, he does so over probably the worst, most incompetent and out of his depth manager that we’ve ever had.

So out of his depth that he managed to finish 5th in the Premier League and made it to 2 semi finals?

Something most other coaches would only dream of.

Fact of the matter is, we binned off the league in December. The squad was bare bones and we had to pick our battles. Go for in in the cups (less fixtures, more breaks), or try and scrape 6th place (more fixtures, play every week).

Give the man a proper squad, we will challenge for the title in his 4th season.

Iv never witnessed stellar attacking football. Just disjointed all over the place disorganised gung ho amateur stuff. The team literally isn’t coached. Theres no patterns of play. Ange doesnt even manage them in-game. Just stands there hoping something happens.

Now compare that to Poch, when we were an actual force. And you saw the full backs Rose and Trippier with the overlap stuck to the line linking up with Son and Alli down the wings. Son and Alli passing it between Eriksen with the creativity. Dembele moving the ball forward from defence to attack. Kane holding up the ball and passing it off to the wing and getting himself in and around the box for the cross. The pressure off the ball and fast pace.

Light and day. Like comparing Pepsi Max to Morrisons own brand.

Said it a 1000 times we are moments team. We play in patches and SOMETIMES we bang in a few goals in quick succession like v Villa and Brentford. Most of the game is just going through the motions especially first half’s. I’d like to see how many games have gone out and blitzed teams. Remember under poch we’d do that all the time.

Give the man the time you are looking for and the only 4th we’ll see is the Championship in two seasons time.

You and the dwindling band of Big Ange cultists are deluded.

4th season now after he gets us relegated. The man has had a proper squad, chose not to utilise it properly, got players in like Werner and said we will challenge for title this season. You are deluded as him ffs. He said the squad was good enough and was happy with it at start of season. Then the dimwit says a few weeks ago that may be at start of season they hadn’t prepared properly. I mean it is Ameritech hour really.

Tbh that is how his football works. It really relies on a few players providing those moments as he doesn’t coach the team to play attack as a team or defend. It’s like defence his whole ‘system’ breaks down I’d VDV is not playing because he hasn’t coached any defensive disciplin.
