The story goes that Terzic was criticised for being tactically limited in Germany

That’s not to say he did a bad job but if people want Ange replaced because “tactics” (whatever the fuck they think that means) if anything Terzic’s “success” just proves how far you can get without being tactically astute but getting buy in from a squad that fits together like Poch, works.

But Terzic didn’t win CL and bottled it in the Bundesliga, isn’t that what we are meant to be getting away from?

Good points. His record at Dortmund was very impressive. This is a good read too -

Good points. His record in terms of wins and draws was impressive at Dortmund. This is a good read - Bundesliga | Edin Terzić: 5 things on the coach who took Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final

Let's use some analogies for you.

You've got a 3km walk from the stadium to Seven Sisters.
You're wearing a nice looking pair of Lacoste trainers.
You're under halfway into the 3km walk as you get to Sports Direct. At that point you realise those nice looking Lacoste trainers are a size too small and cutting chunks out of your feet.
Literally any old pair of trainers in sports direct would ease the severe pain and bleeding you are experiencing.

Would you say "nah, I'll leave it, in 3 months time, when blisters have all healed up, I'll be able to run a marathon in these!"


Of course you fucking wouldn't. You'd likely never wear the poxy things ever again.

Also turns out they're not genuine Lacoste and they're actually snidey knock offs sold under false pretences and promises.
MATE.

Levy’s not stumping up for a pair trainers from Sports direct - even in the sale. Is there an Oxfam a couple of shops down?

I sometimes wonder if some Spurs fans I see around, are more invested in what would be a great climax to Big Ange the Musical than the wellbeing of the team.

I'm not gonna say they're not Spurs fans or anything like that. I just think that they've bought into something so much that it's hard for them to leave.

I have 'Angry Anderson - Suddenly' as his farewell number...I think the Ange crowd would enjoy.

You could do a cracker wee video of his highlights for when he leaves to that, starting out all cheery and then snapping at reporters and arguing with the support as it intercuts to him on the sideline puffing his cheeks out as another soft goal goes in as we're always so fucking wide open.

eh? why did you just make stuff up??

  • December 2023: Romero was forced off the field at half-time in a match against Everton and was ruled out for four to five weeks with a hamstring strain. He had just returned to action after a three-match ban for being sent off in a loss to Chelsea.

  • November 2023: Romero missed several games with toe and hamstring problems, including the wins over Manchester City and Aston Villa. He also came off at half-time for Argentina against Paraguay.

  • Earlier in 2023: Romero was ruled out for at least a month with a hamstring injury

in regards to richi..

Ange said: “Richy obviously felt something in the action of setting the goal up, his hamstring, so we'll see



I know your whole shtick is to counter anything negative said about Ange but at least be truthful.

He's been talking absolute fucking lies for weeks and flat out refusing to acknowledge irrefutable facts.
He's either trolling or seriously unstable.
Thought he was a good poster for a while but completely lost his marbles now.

Stuck on ignore so I don't have to keep seeing him quote me and argue with facts all the time.

Point of order this is the same Euro expert was regularly banging one out over Leggo Man. Now remind me about the huge tactical expertise he had when started at Arse...yeah right. People not getting how bad Postecoglou and Men at Work are. Oh and....

Two sources confirm Chelsea are interested in German manager who really likes Graham Potter

Two sources confirm that Chelsea are interested in Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzic, but it would be tough to bring him to the club.

I'm Ange out, but I'd still keep the nice shoes for the walk, otherwise I've got to carry them around and who wants that?
 
Richard Arlison said:
Just gave sources that I'd found.

Why are you quoting a Romero hamstring injury from 2023?

Ange was mistaken on the Richy injury i think.That quote was right after the game and I ready somewhere else it was actually his thigh. Maybe I'd got that wrong but you can't seriously claim Ange broke Richy?

Richi's was a hamstring injury like Ange said and Romero has had numerous Hansmring injuries since Ange has been in charge.

If you don't want to believe that our thick as pig shit managers 'tactical' mismanagement is the main cause of the ridiculous reoccurring hamstring injuries then that's up to you to be delusional but please don't try and infect everyone else with this pathetic delusional nature you have relentlessly adopted.
 
Incomplete_usernam said:
Alright, for the sake of argument, let’s say Romero’s injury is a quad (still a strain, by the way) and Richarlison’s injury-prone nature lets Ange off the hook for him.

That still leaves us with four hamstring injuries, mate. What’s the excuse for those? Is that just pure coincidence?

VDV had hamstring issues before he joined. This latest one seems like we have issues with the way we recuperate players from injuries.

Davies was very clearly from overplaying at his age. And now broke down when returning from injury.

Odobert was a classic Ange first season hamstring, which IS something that apparently comes with the Ange training style and then apparently the players are usually more resilient to it in the second season.. but somehow he is another one who broke down when he came back from injury.

So, if we actually look at it, what we have now is a much bigger issue with players breaking down when they return from injury. It seems like a systematic problem but how can anyone say that systematic issue lies with the manager when he's saying it's the first time in his career that he's seen it but was very clear that first season his teams pick up small strains when they adapt to the intensity..

100% trolling.

A shame because I initially was sort of happy to see him posting again and nothing untoward had happened to him. Of course I'm still happy he's physically fine (an assumption) but mentally he's absolutely cooked.
