This is his team, he is responsible for the results. There could be excuses about "unlucky with finishing" our "out of form strikers" if we didn't have essentially ten months of consecutively poor results behind us.

Stop bucks with him, we are losing and drawing every other week when we shouldn't. He has to improve, and quickly.

Newcastle, Villa, United all look better than us now and we need to start getting points before we fall behind in the race for CL and we've got Woolwich, United and Brentford our next three games.

We concede the same goals in transition every single time and teams have figured out how to easily nullify our threat. It's not just a coincidence we keep losing in the same fashion - it's by our very own design.
Doesn't strike me as much of a hunter so I think that might be difficult but I agree with the rest of your points.
 
You know what its starting to remind me a bit of Ossie Ardiles, particulaly 2nd season. Ange is better but there are similarities in the same weak mentality, utter naivity and lack of change. We played alright today but they just had to do a couple of things well and we lost even though they dont look in good nick at all. Its takes such minimal effort to beat us. When someone is on against us you get see why we get walloped.

We have to see how it pans out now though. If we're still struggling in maybe November then they have a decision to make. Hopefully something will click or he makes a change to the way we play. As someone mentioned we're around 9th now from the last 30 games. You can talk about projects until the cows come home but you do have to win games.
He isn't just talking about projects either, he's talking about winning trophies, which obviously I appreciate but you know, you aren't winning anything with that kind of form so it's time to walk the walk as they say.
 
That is what worries me. We can beat all the shite but Newcastle,Utd,Liverpool,Woolwich and Chelsea away just isn’t happening. And I’ll bet anything right now that we take zero points from all those teams away this season. This isn’t an Ange thing,it’s a Tottenham thing. Fuck knows why we are the only team out of the top 6 that can’t win at these places.

We hammered Newcastle and Villa last year. One at home, the other away. We split the games with Liverpool too.

The issue is consistency and only consistency when it comes to killing games off.
 
He’s playing the front foot attacking football every Spurs fan was crying out for after the Jose/Nuno/Conte debacle.

He just doesn’t have the quality available to him to execute it to a standard that would provide the results Spurs fans believe we should be getting.
It really is that simple.
He said he's happy with the squad he's got. Surely that would imply he believes he has the players to achieve something like what he and we expects.
 
Oh no, really? The fact is we are not playing like that 10 starting games anymore and we are never going unbeaten in 10 games again as teams figured out how we play. Our form has bin shite since then and there's nothing that suggests it's gonna change, can you undestand that or you need someone to draw it to you?

I think everything you typed there is incredibly stupid. I could try and explain to you why your logic has issues but you are also probably too stubborn or deep set into repeating the same thing over and over that I would be incredibly stupid for trying.
 
I mean, I agree that the 3 performances deserved more and also you also don't deserve to win if you don't take your chances.

That doesn't mean you rip up the blueprint it just means that he needs to find a front 3 that clicks and gets some chemistry and rhythm together.
And learn how to set the team up so we don't concede the same soft goals time and time again.

This is the PL mate, it's not just about attacking play, have to do the fundamentals right.

We have conceded the same kind of goal countless times now, ball straight through the midfield and defenders out of position, so either they aren't listening and making the same mistakes or his system is giving them too much freedom.
 
I don't think we control any away games under Ange, other than that 4 nil Villa game. Always feel like we are living on the edge every week.

The suicidal high line is mental without Van de Vens pace. We are so so exposed. That is not being in control.
the trouble is with VDV Ange is using his speed as the Number one way to defend, instaed of the speed used when defending mistakes are made
