Are you pissed? You must be seeing as it's midnight in Aus
The source is in the bottom right of the graphic.
What do you expect to get out of your agenda?
Maybe ange will send you a didgeridoo when he is sacked

Yeah but who is that source? How do they collect their data?
Mate I wish. Kids movie night. Cooked a BBQ. Popcorn and crap. Finally got to sit down and have a look at all the drivel on here. Nothing changes.
Exactly this. The intensity Ange demands might work in Scotland. This is the bloody premier league. It’s already way more intense to begin with. You can’t run your players into the ground… But all the injuries are just bad luck, I guess
Love these type of comments. Have you not researched? Listened to the independent commentary? Or listen to his previous S & C coaches? Nope. Of course not. Just follow the Angeout narrative. Christ or mighty I can’t wait till he’s wins a couple of trophies this season.Exactly this. The intensity Ange demands might work in Scotland. This is the bloody premier league.

Knowing levy he’ll sack him after we lose to Brentford despite all indications he’d keep the job until after the Liverpool semi.
I guess we'll know next season with certainty. If the pattern repeats next season you have to move on because, by his own admission, he won't manage any differently.
Actually, I have done research. Not that it’s even needed, as it is actually common knowledge that high-intensity sprinting results in a larger number of injuries in football. Specifically the injuries most of our team are afflicted with right now. I couldn’t give a toss what people that work with Ange have said about it. I care about the science. There’s a reason other teams find a balance.
The fan base is divided over Postecoglou. The advantage to keeping him to start next season is one way or the other we should all have roughly the same opinion by next Christmas. If he is successful most everyone will be happy, but if Spurs have another round of injuries and poor performance the excuses will have hit their expiration date. I've given up hope Spurs will fire him so might as well see this experiment out.
It's even more of an impact since there are so many more games scheduled. I suppose if you are a Postecoglou backer you will simply say Levy hasn't given him the depth to play his style.
Ange or Iraola?
That common knowledge, can you share some of it please?
Is it really as simple as sprints cause injuries?
If so how did Salah avoid injuries all these years?
Have you not researched the stats? We sprint far, far more than any other team. So that’s not even a good comparison. The compound effect of number of games + Ange’s tactics are to blame here. If recovery and warmups were enough, nobody would ever get injured, which is what you’re inferring.
No research done then. You sir are a first grade fuck stick. And I’m sorry for being obtuse, but I’m at that point with you all.
The intensity of the sprinting in both possession and out of possession contributes.
Sprinting with sudden starts and stops is what causes the hamstring pulls.
If you’re doing more sprinting per game than other teams, I guess it’s pretty likely that will lead to more hamstring pulls.
This. We’ve had a bigger issue this season due to playing in Europe. It’s not just the number of injuries but the types. Ange hasn’t been the best at rotation, either. Someone on here the other day was literally going nuts about why he refused to play certain players. It might have been Spence. Point is… When you have way more high intensity sprints both in and out of possession than any other team in the most intense league in the world… Well…
It’s who we are mate
Sprinting = injuries? That simple for you?
Salah and Liverpool have been sprinting like mad under Klopp for years and running a tiny squad every year as well.
He's got 2.5/3 months to prove himself when he gets most of his players back from United home onwards. No way he deserves to start next season if he can't clearly and obviously show us what AngeBall is actually all about and how it can work CONSISTENTLY at this level.
Us doubters all hope we're wrong, but he's going to fail and fail badly. He's just not astute enough and we're too easy to exploit even with our full team out (seen it so many times already). But he gets until May to help settle the debate amongst this divided fanbase (it's more divided elsewhere than it is on The Fighting Cock).
