Can he play centre back?
So much for the front foot attacking football hey!
Exactly we have no idea of how to transition the ball from A to B. If we have the space it may work but again all passes have to come off. Otherwise we can’t even get into oppo half without losing the ball. If we somehow get high up then no one wants to shoot or cross.

Ange Postecoglou: Is Tottenham manager's style causing Spurs injury crisis?
Sports scientist Anton McElhone has worked closely with Ange Postecoglou at Celtic and speaks to BBC Sport about his methods.www.bbc.com
Not a peep from any professionals or players that Ange's training or playing style is responsible for injuries. It is literally just an internet narrative.
Apart from Ange Postenoclue saying it himself.
In the first season. Read the article, it backs that up.
the whole things beyond strange. weve got a 'manager' that cant look people in the eye and has not once spoke about actual football or tactics.....HELLOOOOOOO! what the fuck is this shit.

Was does raw facts say? Hur much are the players running per game? How many max runs? Compared to other teams?

Aye, but what does Mido think?
I suspect that it's a dominance thing.
He only looks people in the eye when he feels like he is in a position of dominance, were he can dominate the discussion and speak with confidence. When he cannot do that, he avoids eye contact, probably because he doesn't want people to see weakness in his eyes.
It hasn’t stopped though. Simple fact is the Premier League is one of the fittest in the world and it only stopped when his previous teams dominate the ball and have to deal with less counter attacks. That is never going to happen and his tactics will run the squad into the ground. We currently have 6 hamstring injuries.

I don't know if that BBC piece is as absolving of Ange as you say, it's quite interesting.
To the extent maintaining squad fitness in Angeball requires (1) Celtic-in-SPL-level territorial domination of games, (2) deep and constant squad rotation, and (3) sitting players who want to play for key games as a protective measure, it is pretty hard to see how that's going to be in any way sustainable.
And that goes to a narrow decision about who should take charge for the remainder of the season for Spurs, but it also raises some pretty broad questions about how to play front-foot possession-based football in the modern era.
I remain convinced that the optimum substitution patterns for five-sub, fixture-heavy, press-oriented modern football are eventually going to look very, very different.
Atalanta manager
Read the article
But conceded more than 3 goals on 3 occasions and haven’t beaten any team in the league if they score more than 1 goal in the game. Haven’t won any games by a single goal margin either.
Basically the Article says we need a 1/2 Billion Pound Squad to not be struggling against relegation?
Also an interview with someone who wants to work in football he is not going to go on the record and say no Ange is shit he is at fault for the injuries.
I have always assumed that it has got to do with Ange being ever so slightly Autistic which also explains a lot about his character and the way he acts.
This looking down thing - he could be anxious. He could also be trying to process information, like the question he’s been asked. Trying to recall information to answer the question.
It’s more likely to be the information processing than anything else. Doesn’t mean he’s the right man for us, I’m just saying his habit of looking down in interviews probably isn’t a reason to sack him.
Nor is him being overweight or being from another country.
Plenty of actual reasons without shit like this.

So the consistently high level of injuries is just bad luck. There is a clue in that sentence btw
