This goal wasn’t a structural or tactical issue imo, it was a decision making issue.
Udogie has Elanga covered and for what reason I don’t know, he checks his run to play offside? I’m not really sure why he checked his run but that’s the reason the goal happened.
The idea is that this young squad should be able to adapt to any future attacking manager. Surely.
We can change managers but we can’t change overall styles because that’s what’s fucked us for the last five years.
Add and enhance the squad and move players on where needed but we need to keep a core nucleus that we build for success with.
And before checking his run he was hardly busting a gut to get back
Ange is saying he needs more players. The noise from the media seems to be we are expected to be quiet.
And this fucker is almost at 50% for losses this season. Of course he’s on the cusp of being sacked.
Gonna be right eventually
Must stink walking around with your head up your own arsehole.
If you think things will improve you're not optimistic, you're just flat out wrong.
Token wins against fodder like Southampton are only pulling the wool over the eyes of fans like yourself. Ones who would clearly rather lose every game than back down and admit that he has to go.
There's something extremely odd about this one over the rest.
He's cast a spell over a lot of people to hide his lack of talent and it seems Levy is under that spell too.
Or, just maybe, Levy is leaving it to the others and the others aren't as adept at getting rid when the time is right.
If that is the case, they all need to be sacked ASAP.
Thank god I wasn’t the only one who saw that. I felt like he let up and could’ve blocked that shot or at the very least attempted to and maybe thrown him off the shot. Instead he just eased up as though he was out of the play.
No more Mason. It doesn't do him any good professionally and probably is unhelpful because he becomes some version of "the old family retainer" instead of an upcoming coach. It's time for him to go manage somewhere. But I don't think it will come to any of that. The injured players will return and Spurs will come up with some wins and everything will go forward with Postecoglou. I think the owner and board have decided Postecoglou's the guy and they aren't going to be open to removing him. He'll have to have a full season with a healthy squad and transfer help before they'll make a decision. I can argue that he never should have been hired in the first place, and equally that it makes no sense to fire him until its demonstrated the system won't work.
It's interesting reading the comments in here today. I think I started a thread on this and so did someone else but what's an acceptable outcome for a season for us now?
Is it at least top 6 in the league, a good run / win in a cup (doesn't matter which one, Audi Cup doesn't count)? What do you think?

Yeah I don't get it with Ange. Somehow he has this happy chappy image when he's mostly a miserable cunt in interviews and pressers.
I also find it a bit cringey that he gets to experiment with his kamikaze brand of football in England at our expense. It's very small time. No other "big" club would tolerate this mess.
His interview after United, "Are you not entertained?" and all that bollocks was embarrassing after only being saved from yet another complete collapse by a freak goal direct from a corner.
My biggest gripe is his stubborness and that is ultimately what will get him sacked. Yes we have had terrible luck with injuries but a better manager gets us more points on the board by adapting to the players at his disposal.
I actually don’t think he is on the cusp of being sacked. I really don’t.
I think Levy:
1. Has been conned by Ange into believing that it’s only injuries that are causing these terrible results in 2024.
2. After the Nuno/Ange hirings he is aware that very few decent managers are willing to work with him.
3. Remains unwilling to buy out the contract of a currently employed manager.
He would rather ride it out and pray that a miracle happens even if it means throwing the entire season away. Levy used to be ruthless with managers but the last two searches were so humiliating (with candidates turning down) that he’s gone completely soft.
Yeah I’ve been thinking similar. But if the results don’t change then he will act, he’ll have all and sundry in his ear and will sack him eventually.
Really fucking weird decision
Lmao.
He’s at 21 league defeats from 56 games. Many of those losses with Micky, Romero and Vicario.
I’d argue that regardless of injuries, losing almost 40% of your league games would suggest that on the whole the system doesn’t work.
I really doubt he can get away without a result against Wolves or Newcastle
Sooooo.... you can't honestly be that concerned with our loss to Forest who were at full strentgth and are the second most in form team in the league?

To me he wasn’t playing for his manager or his team
I could barely believe what I was watching
That works only if our ‘first choice’ is currently unemployed …. If that’s genuine then yeah pull the trigger…. Who’d you think it is?
If it’s not
We sack ange now and will be unable to replace him with our first choice should that first choice be currently managing…. Leaving us to install a caretaker who we certainly wouldn’t want to allocate funds
What d’you suggest?
