We've spent a lot of money and I think we should remain realistic about what our budget will be in the winter.
The manager has to make it work even when one or two key players are out. Simple as that.

Kulu and Johnson need to start contributing
Richarlison is a lost cause
Over simplistic and unrealistic!
It will take more than one window to get the squad depth required to avoid the issues we’ve got at the moment.
Yep, the first 3 months have moved people's expectations.
It's disappointing sure but I'd be worried if we had our full team, we don't.
Of course it will take time to build a perfect squad.
But that does not mean the manager doesn't have to do better with the resources available to him.
When you say do better, how?
What would you expect him to do tonight for example?
I think it's fair to criticise but people need to offer something constructive because it's very easy to criticise if you're not looking at the bigger picture.
Kind of tricky when there is some real garbage out there on the pitch with our injury problems.
What can Ange do about Richarlison missing free headers? Sub himself on?
Postecoglou is the same manager everyone was so happy with before the recent losses. I admit, I didn't like the hire and I'm not into the "Big Ange" hype, but until he's had three more transfer windows who's to say he can't succeed? Even if Spurs miss Championship League play this year and next (not saying they won't, just saying "if") you will still have a much younger roster with the deadwood out and a team identity established. Human nature being what it is, my guess is that the same people who were crazy for the guy early on will be the loudest voices saying to fire him if he's not gotten Spurs into Championship after next season.
It's more than one or two if you haven't noticed
The cup game at Fulham showed how thin our squad quality is. Nothing in the past month has surprised me. Hopefully it will speed the exit of the usual suspects. Ange needs to be ruthless about this.
I'm not the manager lmao, do you want me to be specific? We should not be getting outdone in xG by WHU at home and losing 3 games in a row at home. And none of our recent losses have been due to bad luck.
I'm not even saying he did much wrong.
But if people think our current run is just fine and asking for improvement from EVERYONE, including managers and players, is out of order, they're crazy.
Exactly...reading the overreaction on here is quite sad. If people think Ange is just about playing attacking footy but not bothered about results then they haven't been listening.
He's done an amazing job so far and I can't see how anyone could be anything but excited about what he will do with this team once he has had a few more windows.
This is not the time to be results oriented, look at the bigger picture!
Down to you to instill that conviction, no? For an apparent master motivator, I didn’t think this would be the issue. I still believe Ange is the one but he needs to get the outcome across the line or his words will start to ring glib and empty.
No one is without fault. But at the end of the day, the manager is in charge
Our squad will always be left short. We've had 23 fucking years, 46 transfer windows and around 16 or 17 managers to figure this out
I'm not the manager, what a response, fantastic
State of people in here for Christ Sake
