Manager Ange Postecoglou
- Thread starter The Fighting Cock
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
So the stick to beat Ange with now is things that never happened.
Got it.
If it's going to take stuff like;
-Deflected shots going in (see Spence's goal today)
-Opposing forwards missing sitters (see Garnacho last week, Wissa the week before)
-Opposing keepers making grave errors (see Onana last week)
-Vicario making highlight reel material saves on a regular basis
for us to go on a run then I'm not very hopeful. All stars rarely align like that in a certain match, let alone across several matches. I guess players are more fresh and therefore cover more ground due to less congested schedule, but other than that I don't see much of a difference. Giving the ball away playing out from the back, chaotic running around masquerading as pressing, players getting vastly caught out of position are all still there.

What to say about this manager?
I will stick to my view that we have a squad that is good enough to be in the top 6/i. No question.
With the I injuries, 8th to 10th at worse..
The 3 wins have allowed him to smile. Fair dinkum.

for me -the inverted full back just doesn’t work , our press is not in synch either but the most worrying part today was the first 39 seconds where we almost let in the identical goal as we did against Villa , we just don’t learn . Great result , I’m pleased we are now safe but I don’t want this guy in charge next season .
Mate, this kind of stuff happens to most teams every week.
Definitely feels like a lot of posters would have preferred a loss. We won 4-1 away from home FFS 
It’s just feel-good PR shit.
People said the alamo wins under Mourinho and Conte weren't sustainable.
People said that getting beat every week but "playing well" under Ange was a positive sign.
Which one is it?
And what about the many times we lost AND played shit?
Alot of revision to maintain arguments/opinions.
It’s a good, well-deserved run of luck for now. We’ll learn a lot more as we face better teams that can more capably expose us. That was the worst Man Utd side you’ll ever see.
That’s a regular occurrence on here the delight some posters get when we lose is actually quite disturbing.Definitely feels like a lot of posters would have preferred a loss. We won 4-1 away from home FFS
We're up to the heady heights of 12th
If you can't enjoy moments like this , football isn't for you
Arguing all this right now is just a tangent point somewhere on a larger curve. Have fun splitting hairs with these hair-splitters. I humbly suggest you find a better use for your Saturday.
Funny how they always seem to be "the worst (insert team name) you'll ever see" whenever we beat them.
There's always a caveat whenever we beat a team, yet the same metric is never applied when we get beaten. Half the squad out injured is "just an excuse." Win a game and "we rode our luck."
The last 3 games, all of which we won, our xG was higher than the other team, meaning we created the better chances and, hence, deserved to win.
It's funny how the missed chances of other teams are dusted off for use as evidence against us, whilst our own missed chances, which were higher percentage scoring chances, are conveniently ignored.
We've won 3 on the bounce and deservedly so, all whilst having to navigate an injury crisis. Why is this such a bitter pill to swallow for some of you?
We played terrible teams. We recently got knocked out of two cups and lost to Leicester and Everton. I’m simply maintaining perspective here.
Not really, you're claiming we have been lucky in our 3 wins, when the evidence shows that as false.
What Leicester and Everton have to do with that is anyone's guess, they weren't even part of what you were referring to.
We've won 3 deservedly, we're building some confidence and momentum. That's the current perspective.
I should have said mildly fortunate, which I stand by.
I think you’re just buzzed and looking to pick a quarrel. I clearly congratulated the team on a win today. Go do something better with your Saturday night.
