Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We were all over them first half. Loads of missed chances. Someone on Sky at half time said we "completely destroyed" them. All the time I knew what was gonna happen.

Bored to fuck of it now.
 
Half the forum laughed at me when I said he’ll be sacked by Christmas. People forget just how badly we ended last season. Ange is way out of his depth in this league. We seriously need to start considering who our next manager is going to be because it’s going to happen a lot sooner than people realise
Likeable guy but top manager no way ,well out of his depth had 45 games last season and he still learned fuck all .

Glasner and McKenna will be on the shortlist.
 
Shhhhh, you melters, it always ends in a title in the 2nd year.

Ignore the evidence of your eyes and just believe, it's the final and most essential command.
You're right tbh, he says mate a lot and I like that plus he has that "Are you my real daddy?" energy.

I am probably not the best person to make a judgement call though as I thought the manson family was a rock band.

I really do think this narrative of Angeball being a great watch is a myth.

It's very boring at times.

A lot of harmless possession and you spend the whole time waiting for the turnover and the opponent to score. Add on top of that having to watch Son and Johnson fall over themselves or kick the ball into the opponents shin over and over again.

Is that supposed to be fun?

That’s the other thing really, for all the beauty of our passing and technical stuff, we don’t really attack with much beauty. When was the last time you saw us really attack down the middle? We don’t play a slick one-two centrally, we don’t take long shots, we don’t seem to even think it’s a possibility. It’s almost all out wide. It feels forced because it is. He’s set up the team to be wholly dependent on attacks from out wide, give our wingers space and freedom as possible.

And what’s the weakest area of our squad, by far? Our wingers, especially dribbling.

That’s what’s so frustrating. what’s a manager’s job if not to play to the strengths of his team?
 
I think what Ange needs to do is start the same players that let everybody down last season. If it needs changing up that can wait until the last 15 mins when the game is already gone.

His loyalty to players who clearly don't give a shit as they know they'll start next week is baffling. Not to mention his style of play which is so predictable you could set your watch to it.
 
Don't see the goodwill lasting for Ange little sign of any improvement from last season ,it's so annoying the way we fall apart after we concede a goal it seems to knock us off our stride .Any decent team tonight if they had conceded that goal would have stood up and regained control and more than likely gone and won the game but of course not us .
 
Absolute chaos when this team has to defend and so vulnerable after conceding.

I do think attacking wise, with the youngsters, there will be good football to watch. But this just wont work long term. Im not sure if others notice this as well… Ange has done nothing here I have to say… once the opposition receives and develops a counter attack: There is no shape. There is no formation. No tracking back.

In my opinion Bissouma is the only viable player to cover and support the backline. And his form has been bad for months now. The other midfielders are not suited for that role. Time and time again its so easy to counter because its a clusterfuck of players running back, missing out on the ball, losing their man, its so so so disjointed. Or am I missing something?

I genuinely think if he would adapt and just tweak it a little bit we would be so much better. The current approach is too reckless. We will get pumped at the big away games if he doesnt change this
Nope, not missing anything.

Spot on.
 
Ange postenoclue is well out of his depth.... passing for the sake of it but actually going nowhere, and not bothering to defend against a 50 year old vardy...
Embarrassing and pathetic, but don't worry, we have some quality new signings to come in....
Oh wait, no we don't...we have some 3rd rate no marks like johnson....
