Foundations on what? Quicksand?
Dude- we’ve been in a rough patch for half a season now. At least admit that’s a realistic observation.
The element of surprise only lasts so long, and we’ve been found out. Ange hasn’t said that he is willing to change anything. We’re not going to get all the players he wants.
Repeating the same experiment and expecting different results is madness. I don’t know really what you all expect to happen except as you say hoping for a miracle.
Personally I don’t do miracles. I’m calling this experiment dead on the water right now unless Ange shows radical tactical adjustment and flexibility. He’s never done that before.
where is your belief coming from though? you stated you think he will change his approach on set pieces but the man has categorically stated he doesn't believe in different coaches for set piece coaching saying “I wouldn’t feel comfortable bringing in specialists for one particular area.”...yet you think he will get rid of Mason and change the set up of training for set pieces?
I don't mind people having faith but give me something tangible as to why you believe in the manager?
Not disagreeing totally with mid-table standard players but Gil & Solomon have hardly had any chances chances to show what they can or can’t do.
Flatbill new era fitted size 8, white under brim, spurs crest on the front. Beautiful hat that I can’t wear as even the West Ham fans can take potshots.Why don’t you post a photo of you wearing it on here?
Just the hat mind!!
We won’t laugh
Pwomise!!
I’m the only Spurs fan I know of where I live. Everyone else is basically Woolwich. It sucks.
Hes another person that has fallen for playing pretty football is the right way
I mean seriously we’re the ninth richest club in the planet- how in the fuck can we get away with saying we’d rather do without a specialist coach even if we could afford it? It’s baffling!
Because that kind of football wins you titles. City or Liverpool for example while different from each other both play high press, high risk, high reward football.
However they have many years of doing it, they have players bought that can do it. With a high press the defence is the attack and the midfield pressing in behind. We lack some of the players plus it takes upto 2 years to get right even with the right players. Additionally we lack forwards who are press resistant and good at linking.
Burley in the Championship where in a mess, Kompany came in, they didn’t have the best team yet they won that league by a mile. They couldn’t make a championship squad do that kind of football in the prem, the quality gap was to much.
My point is that style of football has the biggest ceiling, it is just the hardest to make work and takes time, patience and money. We don’t need a City level squad to fight with them but something not far of Arse’s team would do and the time to make it work.
Rinse and repeat. This is the 5th or 6th time already?
Why the hope couldn't go to Ange for hoping he could build an improved team over the summer then?
I did in another reply mate. Really cbf to type it out again.
I agree with the rest of the post, but Arse spent over 100m on Rice. We’re really not in the same level of spending as them.
Levy won’t spend 100m on a player until inflation normalizes that number in 6-10 years time.
It’s objectively been rough for 4 games.
The found out thing is a load of bollox mate and I’m not wasting any more time on it than that, except to say tactics don’t get found out. That’s not how tactics work. There are no magic tactics that always win.
Nah I live in the USIs Corbyn your neighbour?
That is an issue. Right now we need too many players to be spending £100m on a one player but there will come a point when to complete a team we need a special player and that flaw could come back to bite us.
Good managers adjust their tactics as necessary to beat the next team they have to play. Then they do it again the next week.
Even Real Madrid had to play on the counter to squeak by City.
For Ange to think he is somehow exceptional to this is madness.
It’s arrogant.
Surely trolling
