See you in 18 months for the next sacking.
See I think fans are wrong when saying he won't change.
He has changed this season, and that's part of the problem. We are now playing a 4-2-4. Get it right, Kulu plays as another forward not a midfielder really and we often leave four stood up front now to counter-attack.
For whatever reason, maybe he didn't think this group could do his preferred tactics, but his changes have made us play more transitional, more open, more end-to-end, and games where you just see who can outgun the other.
He's basically chosen the worst path, for me. We had a manager who started out trying to mimic Pep, only to be converted to the teachings of Harry fucking Redknapp.

A tired view.
Depressing. True.
We just have to hope COYSDANIEL stumbles upon another Poch by accident.
Even with our tight ass budget we should still be doing much much much better than this.
That's it, in one sentence.
People also need to realise that Ange is not up for this level. Today was a complete joke on how he managed the game. 2-0 up and no structure after that again. Not as if he has learned anything from exactly this fixture.
Every season since we sacked Poch it’s been a transitional season.
Without fail.
And I can’t see Ange making Xmas at this rate. Let alone the end of the season.
Is this the biggest indicator Levy / ENIC just don’t know what they are doing in terms of football?
How do we break this cycle? Or just accept this is Tottenham under ENIC.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he wants from his team. Push everybody but 2 CB's forward towards the opponent's penalty area to put them on back foot. Force them to get behind the ball with 10 men. As soon as you lose the ball, through relentless initial press, make sure that they will never get more than 2 passes. Basically besiege and entrap them inside their own box until they surrender multiple goals. Sounds great.
Problem is you can only do this for brief stretches during games. It's not an approach physically or mentally sustainable for 90 minutes. Unless you're managing the likes of Celtic, Crvena Zvezda, Ludogorets and similar others I guess. Those who advocate for him are the ones who get excited by those brief stretches. I get it, they are indeed very exciting, when all stars align and everything clicks. But sustainability is a must, and his "ideas" are simply not applicable on a consistent basis. This is not players' fault. They're getting themselves injured trying to apply his ideas on the pitch. He should have looked at the mirror long time ago but unfortunately he is someone who takes pride in his stubbornness. Board shouldn't be as stubborn as him and do the right thing.

You seen tohabe some patience for Postecoglou. Fair enough.
I don't think you can lose 2 games after being 2 up and not have questions asked of you and neither do I think concerns which talk of game management are ever the best.
I sed it as 2 games now.
I spelt this out at the end of last season... then we had a wage save window and I knew it was over.
And they don't even have to be world class per se.
Just proper quality, technical players.
Yeah it does , again ,and again and again , under Levy .
2 in 25 years mate
Even a blind kid throwing darts at the wall would get a better ratio
Not disagreeing. I just don't see what anyone can do about it unless one of us has a spare £4bn hidden under a mattress.
Good question but it is then about how much risk Levy will accept?
I also think it's about the confidence you have in someone.
If Levy believes it will br alright then Postecoglou may get another transfer window.
He has to go.
hes so fucking shit it's unbelievable.
What an amateur set up we are
It's just one of those things. It happens. It's happening.
But what do you really think of him?!
he dont give a fuck about that tho does he, hes just trying to save as much face as he can for his own incompetence.
