Not sure all this rear mirror gazing is particularly helpful for either the moaners or us glass-half-fullers.Not inconvenient at all. They were the actual real teams we played in our good current run of form.
I'm just pulling his plonker. Surprised he is protesting.Not sure all this rear mirror gazing is particularly helpful for either the moaners or us glass-half-fullers.
Maybe I'm just a delulu individual??....
Does seem that he's doing well.

Brendan Rodgers has taken Ange Postecoglou's Celtic and 'improved' style
The Hoops have got stronger since Postecoglou left, says one ex-Parkhead playerwww.footballscotland.co.uk
I think if Bergvall is on the pitch, our corners will instantly be better. Despite his age the team seems to be letting him take set pieces and his delivery is pretty tasty.I did say the other day I thought we looked a bit better. Although we didnt score from any of the attacking corners there was a bit more variation. I liked the move for the free kick when it looked like Maddison was going to shoot but he squared it long and wind to Johnson instead who then almost scored/created a chance.
That is an excellent post.Ange tends to leave teams in a better place than they were before he took over though. Brisbane were still competing after he left. Marinos too. And of course a Celtic team full of the players he brought there.
It'll be the same here. He may not succeed here in terms of what us fans want him and the team to achieve but he makes us a much hotter prospect for future managers. Unlike the past 5 years where we had to stumble across Nuno and were rejected by the likes of Nagelsmann because of how poisened the job seemed.
And that's mainly because he's coaching players to be brave in their play and buying players who suit free flowing high pressing vibrant football. which is much better than filling the squad with technically limited players that suit dinosaur tactics.
There's an old saying that "nothing succeeds like success". Spurs are a very young team that needs confidence. A big win against Everton will be a good start.On track? Did you see the first game? Don't get me wrong, I hope he does well, but I'm just not feeling confident.

Brisbane and Marinos are big time.
We are on a good run at the moment. Last 4.... 2-1-1. Only lost to Man City.

To be fair if you’re managing a team in any walk of life, you are measured on whether people do what you ask of them. If they can’t you ship them out and get people in that can. This and next season he has to show improvement. Last season he was dealt the cards he was givenEight out of ten for scraping fifth and going out of the cups at the first hurdle??? Because of transfer business?
Expectations of this fanbase are in the fucking mud it’s actually crazy. He’s been firmly in the alright category so far.
He won't get a 'next season' if he doesn't deliver this season.To be fair if you’re managing a team in any walk of life, you are measured on whether people do what you ask of them.

If he doesn’t significantly improve things yes I agree……. So semi finals and a higher league position is minimum for me. Judging him now is just stupidHe won't get a 'next season' if he doesn't deliver this season.

How can anyone claim that as an 8/10 season while keeping a straight fucking face. We also had no European football to contend with and played far fewer games than every other team in the top 8.Everyone gets injuries. We didn’t beat a single London rival, we sucked in the cups and we held on to fifth by the skin of our teeth against an in crisis Chelsea team everyone was pissing their sides at all season. EIGHT OUT OF TEN!!
This season has already been a 9 out of 10 because of the result against Hearts in pre seasonHow can anyone claim that as an 8/10 season while keeping a straight fucking face. Honestly man, it seems like we're being trolled by our own fans lately.
He won't get a 'next season' if he doesn't deliver this season.

I have said this umpteen times.Yes 3 at the back might help defensively, we'd have decent wingbacks supplying the width with Son and Solanke as a front duo. Negates our shit wingers and adds a bit more solidity but doubt we'll see that under Ange.
But tbh we have spent a shed load since his come in and yet most of the team is still players purchased under Nuno and conte.Of course it is. And for those that lay everything at the feet of Postecoglou, it was the Chairman that employed him.
It’s easy to say “ it’s on me”. On the other hand he says players have freedom to do whatever they want on the pitch.An amazing politician.
The thing is these issues have been there since the very first match under him at Brentford.
