I actually agree that during the initial spell after the Chelsea game last season, with all the injuries, the suspensions, the players going to AFCON and Asia Cup, we got steady results.
It was when we got our full squad back in the Spring that it really went to shit, that’s what’s worrying. That was when we really got figured out and ran out of legs completely. Now with all the extra games this season that burnout has been even stronger and happened even earlier.
The performances this season started OK because we were full of energy, as soon as Europa started we fell off a cliff and performances descended into mush. Ange and the board clearly failed to prepare for the increased schedule this season.
Literally.
The points we scored ended with us finishing 5th. That's it, that's the stat for last year.
This year is much worse so far but the league is very very tight and a decent string of results can change things quickly.
I understand your reasoning.
We have hired PL proven managers before that have done poorly. We also missed on some great managers, like Arne Slot.
I really like the guy at Bournemouth. I reckon there are a couple more like him and the Bournemouth manager in other leagues in Europe.
In the end, the problem with Tottenham goes far beyond the manager.
Maybe Slot would have done poorly here? Who knows.
Of course he would.
It does seem odd how poorly Ange has managed the full back rotation given how solid Spence has been and the performance of Reggie last match.
Seems like maybe Ange is just hard headed - once he believes something, he sticks to it like flies on shit, no matter if the evidence clearly shows something different.
bad sign, for me that is...
Add the 2 Alfie’s and donley. We must get some of these to come through otherwise what it the point. I’m sure it was part of Ange’s brief and levy put it in the club statement on his appointment. So far not one player has made it to first team squad from our all conquering youth teams. Infact most have been sold or on loan.
You're gonna have to accept that not every player who comes out the academy is good enough to make it.
Double edged sword tbh. Players will look at how we play and think twice. Also they know Ange is on sticky ice so may wonder who they are going to play for long term. Ange can’t with any real confidence talk to potential targets knowing he may be out the door soon. What project / dream is he gonna sell players?
I get that but I want to see them at least given an opportunity. We keep spending money on players who may or may not be better than what we have already. Take dorrington who is 19 played all levels for England and is captain plays CB full time. Are we seriously thinking that given a few games he could be at least good as gray playing that unfamiliar role?
What the hell is Munn doing then if his not on levy’s ear. Surely if Pat is still behind the scenes lurking about like Peter Mandelson surely that would undermine Lange, Munn and co?
I don't think we're in a position to 'at least give opportunities' to young players just because they're from the academy, it's unrealistic. If they're good enough the simple fact is they'll play or at least hang around the first team. If Gray who is a 6 is playing above a natural CB that tells you that Gray is so far ahead in his development than Dorrington.
Not so sure. Still a risk playing gray there as much as dorrington.
How do you know this?
Ange is not building anything! he's destroying it! This is why I want this idiot out of my club. There is no way this fools approach is sustainable we are seeing the physical effect its having on players, we are witnessing the players deflated body language. All this prat will do is drive out the 3 top players we have at the club (Romero, VDV, Kulu) in the summer and drain the confidence from our young crop! There is nothing positive or beneficial by keeping this fool in charge!
I don’t but both are untried in that position in the epl. Well gray was until Ange played him there and basically dismissed dorringtons chances by saying he no one else when he picked radu.
