Just about everyone on this board wants Spurs to win. But you can enjoy the wins and at the same time look at this man's overall record and realize that he is in over his head in this league. Yesterday's performance, poor team selection, and absolutely ridiculous tactics of pushing Udogie and Danso into the opposition box over and over again should make it crystal clear that we can't be competitive in the PL with him at the helm.
Which begs the question-how does someone like Johan Lange buy into a system that appears so fundamentally flawed?
 
We gave Ipswich 12 goal attempts before half time last weekend.

As Daniel said when he bought the club ; football is the next big
“ entertainment “.

Most people, worldwide, paying directly or indirectly to watch EPL matches worldwide probably wouldn’t have a problem with that .

Oh and , obviously, all / any of the resulting income will be
“re-invested in the Club “ .

And that’s must be true because Daniel keeps on telling us it is .
 
Look at it another way.

While we were all being told that Spence had a bad attitude and that Daniel Farke didn't rate him, as well as Warnock, we were happily accepting Porro's defensive shortcomings because he scored the odd worldy and got the occasional assist from a corner, cross or free kick.

Spence has been played at left back rather than right back; until Udogie was fit.

All the while Porro was 'tired' and 'needed a rest' after the Tamworth winger pulled his pants down.

Despite this 'need for a rest'; Ange refuses to give Spence a game at right back, against a top team, but prefers Porro.

This is looking more and more as though if Porro is fit; Porro has to play.

Did you know that Levy ripped up the Marcus Edwards sell on clause when Spurs signed Porro from Sporting?

Makes you wonder what else we agreed to.

Porro has the most assists and second most key passes out of every RB in the league.
 
Nice, level on points with West Ham. 1 point above Everton. But Ange is doing an amazing job.

West Ham didn't have any injuries. They didn't play most of the season without Fullkrug and Antonio.
 
Under Ange we constantly just leave ourselves so open. It's by pure luck if we stay in a game and somehow manage to capitalise and win. It's not sustainable football. The results back this up indisputably. We've seen it for nearly two seasons now, how can anyone genuinely disagree with that observation?

Ange is just constantly blagging it. He tells so many lies now to try and spin everything, that he contradicts himself on an almost daily basis. Just more evidence of an absolute fraud out of his depth.

He's lowered the level of this fanbase to the toilet, where many just shrug and go oh well when we lose another game.

Two or Three months ago it was "Oh well we can focus on the cups", now we are out of those cups it's "oh let's focus on Europe" it's just deluded bollocks.

The injuries have largely cleared up and we are still hopeless. There has been absolutely no improvement, in fact we've gotten so much worse the longer he has been here.

I just can't believe the club has pinned it's hope's and future on this absolute bluffer. Sick of tired of all the shite he spouts post game after another defeat.

It's got so bad for me in terms of support, that I literally have no excitement when a game comes along, and when we lose I feel nothing. And it's been like that for months. And we are hard core supporters let's be honest. We spend most of our day talking about the club. Shocking state of affairs.
On the face of it I completely agree with the bolded, but it's bizarre that despite being obvious to the eye that we gift up so many clear opportunities, only one side this season has beaten us by more than a one goal margin.

Not sure how this tallies up with us just being lucky.
 
He won’t. He will look at the floor and mention it’s all about alkaline next Thursday.

Mate.

Media will love it as he says mate

Wasting time because we were the better side and were unlucky to beat a city side who battered Newcastle a weekend ago?

Give me a viable alternative who gets up top 4 with this squad and the amount of injuries we’ve had?

Any coach with a much better CV than Ange who will take the job. Top level experience in one of the big European leagues, preferably with Champions League experience.

Terzic would be my immediate choice, basically he fits that criteria and is available. Nobody is a guaranteed success, but there are better coaches than Ange available. Why wouldn't you want to get the best coach we can?

All Ange has done successfully here is mangle our players with his style of play, something he was able to get away with at Celtic because they have much bigger resources than all the other teams in their league.
