Manager Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
They are both real stories - the dugout is just a tweet whereas the ownership is a novel
Very telling. A look of a man who knows what he needs to do now, is just mentally processing the reality and going through a mental checklist of whether he sharpened the guillotine or not recently.
Neither is losing every game a way to guide them through this difficult time. I could fucking do that.
it's actually the most infuriating thing about the whole Ange situation how he is navigating his way through it by twisting reality. He says the exact things needed to hang on to his job, all the 'we're in great position to achieve something exceptional this year' (in the cups- so you can't sack me before I'm out of cups), 'the club is working hard', 'the players are back soon' (don't sack me before they are back) and the worst of all the 'helping players get through this tough period' (as to make it like the results are irrelevant and all it matters is poor things survive having to play fucking football games at all)
I think it was Shady
Even Shady is done at this point I think
He fought the good fight but the resistance has fallen
This is more on Battlefield Earth’s level.I'm sure I've seen this movie , Dead Man Walking .
So a gooner trolling then
I think your inquisitor is on my block list. manmountainbutters made my mind up not bothering with the fake Ange in mob. But if anyone asks what will the next man do? The answer as you say is simple. COACH. Ange doesn’t meet this most basic requirement.
Some coach do take sessions directly but too a man those ones have an coaching team with a philosophy practice and personell bedded in and tested over multiple years.
The clues were everywhere for those who cared to look beyond the PR, turn up alone take whatever you find, remember the video of him yelling "Stop passing the ball fucking backwards "...I just cringed and wondered that's not it is it?...the tactical advice on game from our head coach. He isn't a very clever man, beyond the bluster he's remarkably fragile. But he has loads of personal charisma and it's got him by. But this is the EPL and he's horribly inadequate.
I'm tired of people acting like you need to spend 500m to be able to teach players how to defend
It's like the Trump MAGA lot. Cult like following - the leader can do no wrong.
Possiby but Ange has proved he's defensively and tactically inept and too bloody stubborn for his own good.
It's an important distinction to make ......many a manager has thrived because of Kane ....and Bale before him made a few managers look a lot better than they were.
Despite the common complaint that it is Romero and VdV's absences that broke the camel's back, it's actually the significant drop in goals, compared to how things usually are under Ange, that primarily caused this collapse. After that Soton win we scored;
-1 against Liverpool, from a giveaway in a very dangerous area, until the match was entirely out of reach (1-5, 72nd minute)
-Nil against Forest
-2 against Wolves, even though we didn't create much in that match either
-1 against Newcastle
-1 against Woolwich
-Nil against Everton until, again, the match was entirely out of reach (3-0, 77th minute)
-1 today
We weren't keeping clean sheets even with Romero and VdV, so unless you are willing to argue that these two would have increased our attacking output significantly in terms of chance creation and goals scored, then I don't think they would have been of much help.
Goals have dried up, it seems that simple to me. Whether that's a blip on the radar, or sign of an irreversible trend that'll continue as long as Ange stays, is up for debate. But either way, don't expect a sudden turnaround when the aforementioned two return.

For anyone feeling depressed at the minute just remember football is not important, it’s just a game played by millionaires, there are more important things in life so don’t let this club ruin your evening!
Sorry....I can only see what is going on, on the pitch...and post my humble opinion...You clearly have other issues which I am assuming lies in an area you do not have any influence over.... I can only offer this...... get ELON MUSK to buy the club and no one will ever have to complain that Spurs are short changing the Team.
what are we praying for?I'm laying flowers for Ange, everyone lets pray
Postecoglou will prove to be a two edged sword for Levy. With his initial success he took pressure off Levy. Fans had a big personality as manager who believed in attacking football. So far, so good. But now that the system isn't working, fans who have fallen for Postecoglou can't accept that his brand of football is unsound. So, they are assuming Levy is to blame for not supporting him. So, Levy at the same time can't keep him on as manager and can't fire him. He's Schroedinger's manager.
Bore off. One can hope.
