losing 3/4 NLD's ..... just sayin
It is not that they don't press but our press is very poorly coached. So we quite often do not all react to the same trigger to press so we have one or two players press and no one else presses.
Thinking about this some more, I do think he is gone if we lose on Sunday. Some of us have been saying this every few days for months now, but looking at the league table, if Everton win they go from 17 points to 20. And will be 4 behind us. The current 7 point gap to 16th will suddenly erode to 4 points. I think that crosses the red line for the board.
And also, for the best evidence of what is happening at the club right now, the best source isn't journalists or Ally Gold. It's Ange.
His post match interview on Wednesday told us a lot. They asked him about the cups and the future etc, and he dismissed it and said "no no, I'm not looking past Sunday, we need to win there" I can't remember the exact words but it's not what he said, it's kind of the mood and what he didn't say. I've never heard him be so short term like he was. In the sense of, he basically could have just come out and said 'look there's no point me worrying about the cups, because if I don't win on Sunday I will be out of a job" I think he full expects he will be sacked on Sunday if we lose.

Nahh, the guy tried to tap up Rogers for a job in the England Setup at the end of a game.
100% disrespectful - he thought he had the job, he took his eye off the ball.
In his own words.
Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that now-Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers agreed to become his assistant if he was ever offered the England job.
Redknapp was thought to be the front runner to replace Fabio Capello in charge of England last year, but the Football Association opted to offer the job to Roy Hodgson instead of the then-Tottenham Hotspur manager.
The 66-year-old revealed that he had approached Rodgers, who was then in charge of Swansea City, during a match between Spurs and the Swans and that the Northern Irishman had agreed to become his number two.
"My thinking on Brendan was this: if he can do it with players from the lower leagues at Swansea what can he do with Rio [Ferdinand] and [John] Terry or [Wayne] Rooney and [Steven] Gerrard?" Redknapp wrote in his autobiography, which is being serialised by the Daily Mail.
"So when Tottenham played Swansea on April 1, 2012 I pulled Brendan after the game and said that if all the speculation about me and England was true would he consider coming to the European Championships in the summer as my part-time coach? I told him I wanted England to play with as much technical ambition as Swansea. He was up for it.
"Some Tottenham fans might think I was distracted from my club job, but I can assure you the conversation took five minutes. And we beat Swansea 3-1 that day, by the way. It didn't work out. On April 1, I was contemplating the way forward for England with Brendan Rodgers - and on April 29 the FA offered the job to Roy Hodgson."
How can someone claim to not be distracted, and then say he was spending time contemplating a way forward for the England job? Liar!
Fair.
The first one away was actually very encouraging in truth but losing 3 on the bounce?
Just boring. Doubt I’ll bother watching the next one, it’s just a nothing fixture now.
Our press was incredible to start the season and has been good in patches like the start of Liverpool in the CC before Bentancur going off changed our shape,
But you can’t press with this many first team players out. Impossible to maintain the energy.
You can level many criticisms at Ange but saying our press is poorly coached is way off.
I was just nitpicking lol, sorry - your points are valid.
Agree about the game TBH - the hype is so fabricated now, the players don't give a half fuck bout a 'derby game' from either team.
I get that living local to the club it’s impossible to ignore the game because of those cunts reminding you all the time.
But that’s a very small number of people. For everyone else, that game and the Chelsea games will rapidly start losing people’s attention because they are predictable and boring
You have great faith in Ange and that he will be afforded a lot more time for it all to come right. We’d all like that but it ain’t happening.
He’s out of his depth and promoted way above his station. This is not coming right with Ange, even if he has a full bill of health with the squad.
I think too many people have got too much reputation invested in Postecoglou to fire him. In some ways it would be an admission he never should have been given the job to begin with and they believed in a system of play that is unsound. When Gold reports the team wants to put the right people around Postecoglou, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they let some portion of his coaches go and keep him and drop most of the medical team.
Could counter and argue that his players are shit (in key positions). Midfield is OK but Son, Werner and Johnson are championship players nowadays and his defence is ravaged
how many will we still be in for when it's time to focus on them?
Does Ange coach...I,m being serious
Take the game against the scum 2-1 down brings on Richarlison sticks him out wide - we needed a goal, we needed a plan B - go 2 up top and give the scum something else to think about ... no Ange sticks with the same flawed system and it looked more like they would add a third than a spurs equaliser
Take yourself to the EvANGElist thread please, we don't do that optimism thing in here.
Agree
Richy did OK for Son but if you are gonna go direct, him and Solanke are a good pair. Handful
