If he's just gonna stand on the sideline and do nothing but watch the game wouldn't he be better off up in the stand? I'm serious. He'd get a better view up there at least.

Things were going tits up at 3-2, the camera cuts to Ange and as usual he's like a statue. "Fucking run around a bit."
This is the latest stick.

Yes he's not the most animated which I quite like - look at Legohead as too far the other way.

I'm pretty sure I heard him absolutely screaming at one point tonight though. Think it was at 3-1 or 3-2.

The day may come when we don't have anything to show for it all and the defensive frailties and undue appetite for risk just take too much off the table and the only sensible thing is to give someone else a go.

But after all the bullshit we've been through and the toxicity and self-seriousness that the whole world is always trying to inject into this club and the bunch of kids he's been handed to work with, I just totally click with Ange's devil-may-care attitude, it's the breath of fresh air we've needed.

Good on ya mate :ange-clap:

Particularly gauling after the softball question interview they gave Amorim. I swear down the guy conducting the interview was gently cupping Amorim's balls.
 
While Amorim ruffled his hair

We beat a side with bigger defensive frailties than our own.

If that makes people happy fair enough. I thought it was a shitshow, and were it a different side. A competent side. We would have lost.

Nobody is going to have success in the premier league playing the way we play.

Would you prefer Amorims praying on the sidelines :D

Football fans and their moaning about perceived managerial failures on the touchline are the single most ridiculous things about fandom. :roflmao:
 
Who cares? It’s an unforgiving job with a lot of pressure and accountabilities. Plus no other job has thousands of dickheads baying for your blood every time you fart in the wrong direction
It’s like saying the pain of giving birth is the worst pain a human can have. Well I’ve banged my shin on the tow hitch of a car and I’m here to tell you it’s worse (and you don’t have any support people). Angelos is just saying it’s a tough gig. So Messers Happy Pants (if that IS your real name) I couldn’t agree more.

We had 10 players out you muppet

This is the same team you've been waxing lyrical all over since the Summer by the way and you were adamant they've overtaken us yet here you are making excuses for them when they have a full squad to pick from

Clown sanctuary in full swing again, I swear half of you aren't Spurs fans

So be it

Pants by name, pants by nature.

I’m rewatching the Wire at the moment and being a teacher in a poor, drug fucked neighbourhood with violent, traumatised kids in America would have to be up there for hardest jobs. That’s not including the stress of potential school shootings at any minute. Was it silly for Ange to say what he did? Possibly. The stakes of difficult jobs are different but the levels of stress might be comparable.

Once the players are on the pitch, it's their job to know what to do. They don't need the coach bellowing at them from the sidelines if they are executing their role as planned.

Having a coach screaming on the side lines can have the effect of players hiding from the ball; or playing it safe to avoid criticism.

I like that Ange lets them get on with it.

It’s almost like the people demanding he screams from the sidelines don’t really understand coaching enough to know there are different ways to do it.

Agreed but passion merchants like that sort of thing.

I think players are over coached these days anyway, players need to be trusted to work things out for themselves not told what to do at every opportunity.
