Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Did he actually talk about the type of football Ange plays in the article?

Because that's what actually matters with Ange. He's a football philosophy guy. No player or media is buying in if the football is shit. He plays great football and as we have seen in most of our second halfs, he makes great tactical adjustments as well.

The media stuff is about marketing himself and the game. It's secondary.
when ange gave him the head shake answer the other day I read a lot into it - like “week in week out, Ive refused to cry and whinge about bad decisions and misfortune, and now after a game like that you want me to feel sorry for pep… fuck you Liew with your stupid questions’. Shame this Liew bloke didnt man up and own it.
 
You’ve got a lot of spurs fans here who write off players after a few games so it’s not surprising when people do it about managers.

They’ll turn around later and say « I’m as happy as anyone to be proven wrong » when things go right and if things go wrong they’ll be able to say they called it first.

Shit fans in my view.

Bro, we have fans here who write off players for us before they have even kicked a ball.

There is an arrogance when people point blank shit all over signings or potential signings because they have seen them play for team x or y under different managers and systems, in different countries/leagues and they don't rate them.

I get that some folks get to watch lots of football and have an opinion about said players but every single player should be given a chance to prove themselves for us, under our manager, in our system, in our league.

Even then, as you have said, they need to be given time to bed in, learn the system, gain confidence.

Spot on.

It's the easy path......... A win/win scenario for them that, at the same time, only serves as a drain upon those around them.

Maintaining hope, patience, positivity, support & encouragement require far more effort, resolve and investment.

We have people who write off our own players even when they're playing well and will use any shred of evidence against them to confirm their bias.

There's an active thread on here just like that, when the player doesn't score or assist they're all over it but as soon as he does they go quiet, agendas, vindication and ego are more important than just admitting you may have got it wrong.

I don't think I need to name the player who I'm talking about.
 
It was good to hear Posto laid into the players at half time. I might suggest maybe he laid into them from the touchline during the first half after which we could have been 1-6.
I rated Posto a 7.5. He picked Gil ahead of Hojbjerg who settled things down authoritatively when he came on at the start of the second half albeit after a rusty start.
The playing out from the back caused us problems in the first half with no CBs and a pressing City that was dangerous and we were lucky City were wasteful and the woodwork got in the way.
I still rated Posto high but not as high and gushy as some.

Absolutely

Liew just wanted to trip him up. Ange took his time to work out the trap and then fucked it off 😅
 
With all due respect Mrs D and yourself need to agree a moniker and engage deed poll,

Big Ange it is.

She won't be very happy about that. To be fair the only thing big about her is her tits. To help those needing an image.....she has been told she looks like Katherine Tate by quite a few people, including me. Katherine also has a nice pair but not as big as my missus.

I thought someone posted on here that it was Matt Law?

I have a theory that if your surname starts with L and ends in W, you instantly become a fuckwit.

Matt Law

Jonathan Liew

Dennis Law...

OK, I've only got 3 at the moment, but that's why it's a theory rather than a hypothesis.

Give me a few more and I can get pwopa scientific and shit!

Joachim Low. That’s me done.

Good luck with your very short study.
