Ange is quite chipper in that post match interview.
Just watched it again, got a feeling he is trying to build an underdog narrative following that game and also his post match press conference. Probably the way to go with all the injuries.

The other week he said he didn’t want us passing the ball back to the keeper at all.
Tongue in cheek mate .
I wonder how much of letting them back into the game would be mitigated by actually having a bench that could be trusted to bring fresh legs and shut the game down.
He is right about one thing...
Can you imagine the squealling from the pundits if Liverpool or Woolwich had 10 players out?!
We hear hardly anything in mitigation about our injuries.
FFS, they don't stop harping on about one injury with City!

That bench was there for injuries.
We are down to the bare bones.
Of course we lost control, look at our bench lol
And they ended up bringing on Amad, Zirkzee, Mainoo and Garnacho to turn the match
And Micky Van De Ven is just as much of a lynchpin to the way we play as Rodri is to City, maybe more so.
Possibly but not the first time is happened
I find it curious we posted at the same time using version of the same word - mitigates.
Half the spurs fans who post on social media I think
Don't get me wrong, they do mention it in passing but an injury crisis like ours for those other teams would be all we hear about.
Again it's not the first time it's happened but you can switch up tactically aswell.Of course we lost control, look at our bench lol

I don't want to take nothing away it was a good win in the end.
Was just making an observation.
He was clearly taking the piss. If you can’t see that then you’re not neurotypical:

Shady, I don’t care about one-upping you, I don’t care who is “right” or “wrong” I have said numerous times, I genuinely think you offer nothing of substance and my only issue with you is how bring the forum down with your childish behaviour.I don't think you are happy, it seems like your focus is on one-upping me as opposed to the team who apparently support win a football match and get through to a semi final, something to celebrate
What do you think of the result, are you happy?
Who are you trying to convince here? It seems like you desperately want me to care for your own sense of self worth which actually tracks the more I think about it tbh.
No, I am miserable about the result Shady
, fuck I hate watching us win football games, especially one I was in attendance for; what a shit experience that was! And right before Christmas as well? How will I cope mate?He had a fit on the sidelines against Roma when we had the ball at the halfway line and we went all the way back.
Within our structure and how we are expected to play these players are given the license to make decisions for themselves. Ange doesnt throw these guys under the bus when they make comical mistakes, so he isnt going to lose it at Forster for going long under pressure or Bissouma playing a forward ball.
Going back to the keeper is not really a feature of the Postecoglou style and i hope its something he can gradually coach out of them.
It's a double edge sword, we could have sat back at 1-0 and conserved energy but we wouldn't have scored the two goals to make it 3-0 so it kinda works both ways, I guess though the point is that we would have had more control to people's liking if we had fresh legs to bring on and see the game out.
This game wasn't really about control of lack of anyway, keeper made 2 glaring errors, one where he tried to play out, the other where he tried to hoof it, it's just one of those things.

Ah bruv fuck off man, respectfully.
No-one cares about this stupid argument lmao
Just got home , ok so it was a rollercoaster , a rollercoaster because of Forster we were in control until then .
We are missing 5 first team players by my reckoning, we have another 5 or 6 out who would get games or game time . The players are having to be run into the ground right now and frankly without the howlers we get a comfortable win . We get to a semi final and people are moaning , what a joyless way to watch your team .
The boys are going to be shattered on Sunday , Liverpool have a bigger , better , healthier squad , they will have had 24 hours more rest . Furthermore they can rotate over recent months because they don’t have an injury ravaged squad . They are top of the league and flying in the CL , however if we get beat there will be some in here bitching like crazy .
Of course I want to win and will hate it if we lose , but I will certainly take into consideration all of the above
No finger nails left , but we won and I fucking loved it
