Happy New year
My manager!!
How can people doubt this Aussie Jesus????
Agree, after those 10 games it has been average and, getting worse week by week.
Even when he has had everyone available, it's still been many of tbe same issues, I don't recall many times when the club has, won more than a couple of games in a row.
He is very lucky that levy hasn't binned him off, time will tell if this is the right decision.
We would do any of that as it would be an undeserved win
In 2024 we won 2 league games on the trot only twice. Palace and Villa in March and Brentford and Man Utd in September. We havent won 3 on the trot now for over a year. This is not normal. Even when we were a bit shit 20/25 years ago we could usually muster a run of results.
Kulusevski is worse than Maddison in duels.
Kulu has a better transitional game.
I think because Maddison can dwell on the ball at times and then has his petulant moments it probably sticks in the mind more when he does lose them.
Stats back it up too.
Maddison has a 55% duel win rate
Kulusevski has a 36% duel win rate
That's appalling, gives you a sense of how bad performances have been.
I still can't believe some of his antics, the 9 men against Chelsea, with the high line was ridiculous nobody could believe it.
Those comments about using subs, and that he basically didn't want to cheat by bringing them on, wtf, that's why teams have big benches, to help change games if required.
Ok fairs, strong in duels then
To be fair I never said he was strong...just that he's not weak.
Im not entirely sure why Maddison is getting dropped regularly...maybe he thinks he doesn't work hard enough..... maybe he's just managing him....I could be wrong but this might be the longest Maddison has gone without an injury for a few seasons
How is Sarr in the duels? That's actually where the original assertation came from, when Maddison was subbed for Saer against West Ham and it changed the match.
According to the statistics he's 58% win rate.
Again he's excellent in transition winning the ball then driving forward quickly.
I wonder if Ange is managing his mind this season or that he's sees him a bit of a weak link in the team r maybe both?
How does Mr Go Fuck Yourself sound?
I'm confused. I thought the fans wanted to win things.
I've followed Spurs since the 80's. From afar, that is true.
What do you think the duel statistic tells you about the players then?
I’ve just risen from my Christmas / New Year bbqathon and drunken stupour. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. Thank you all for being welcoming to us Aussies. Even if we annoy you, you let us know in a somewhat nice way. Bring on 2025 and COYS! And fuck you Ange don’t make us look like a pack of crazy cunts!
Our most successful manager in Premier League wasn’t a "serial winner" buddy boyo. That doesn’t mean Iraola will walk the same path as Pochettino, but his work at his previous clubs is promising, even impressive and given that we’ll probably be left midtable when the current utter clown of a manager is sacked, we’ll need someone who can make us punch above our weight as a first step.
Oh and by the way your idol won’t win shit in Premier League mAtE, whether that is with Spurs or any other club that may give him another chance (chances are probably close to 0 seeing what a garbage job he’s doing here).
The irony of Ange ball is that the high tempo system is supposed to blitz the opposition and tire them out. It’s a fun exciting idea in theory.
The reality is that the system drained its own players leaving them half dead and easy pickings for the opposition. And it’s not just the physical exhaustion, the mental tiredness is also very evident.
