Management Ange Postecoglou

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Didn't say this year, but more generally:Colwill, James, Gallagher, Chalobah, Hall (sold for big money) in recent years.

But let's discount those players and compare this year only:
Chelsea:
George 16 Apps all comps
Acheampong 8 Apps
Tauriainen 2, Dyer 1, Rak-Sakyi 4, Ampah 1, Murray-Campbell 1, Antwi 1, Mheuka 3
Total 37 Apps to 9 players

Spurs - with an unprecedented injury crisis:
Moore 16
Lankshear 6
Scarlett 4
Ajayi 1
Olusesi 1
Dorrington 1
Total 29 Apps to 6 players.

Which academy would you sign for????

Considering they are in the conference league which is the same standard as PL2, I’d say the two clubs are comparable.

Willing to bet we gave way more PL minutes to academy kids this season.

The past you have a point but that doesn’t change overnight.
 
To an extent I think you are correct.

The problem or issue is that we are now nearing the season's end,so unsure there is sufficient time for what you suggest.

My view is that the guy talks a lot of emotionally intelligent sense, as exemplified by his press conference. That's distinct from overseeing a style of play tbat controls and ultimately wins football matches.

I just don't see him delivering
emotionally intelligent? sounds like a chancer .. blame..delegate.. i luv yous guys (the players) except for you Timo bad boy.... it's a joke isn't it? the fans will be the judge... the fans aren't up to standard. not winners like me mate ... blah blah blah

That's your view. Fully recognise opposing opinions.

I don't think he is the right fit for us but I think he makes a lot of points that are hard to argue against.

I don't club myself alongside anyone else and draw my own conclusions.

ok fair enough. Yes that's my view. I disagree on the points hard to argue against but I don't mind that you interpret it how you do. Be really pleased when he moves on though:dude:

I think I share the same keenness to see Postecoglou move on, but wil caution myself against what I also wish for.

The grass Is not always greener so much depends on the thinking of Levy and co.

We are a peculiar club, so its not as simple as saying we get manager 'X' and we are in Wonderland.

Completely disagree, lets face it without the injury crisis none of our academy players would have had a look in, maybe a couple of sub appearances for Moore. Chelsea have not had an injury crisis - they just routinely blood their academy players.

No one got a chance vs Tamworth (apart from Mikey). Chelsea routinely blood multiple academy players in games like that, and that breeds the success they have in developing players.

fair enough. I have never expected to be in wonderland. For THFC I would prefer a humble, well qualified manager who respects the club and the fans... and has more than one way and brings his own staff so there is accountability as a group.. not a one man band. Peculiar yes but they have backed him with getting rid of some decent players, bringing in many more and we are bottom half.. out of the 'I always win things' Cup (x2). Should definitely win the Europa though 👍 plus he is such a wordsmith.

Moore was playing and starting Europa League before the injuries hit.

You see it's the 'should definitely win the Europa' kind of viewpoint I can't fathom.

Based on what, other than a presumed quality of player, manager, size of our stadium or recent history?

I will be staggered if we win the Europa, not because I don't think we have enough talent (arguably) but because we are perennial fall-shorters. Something will prevent us, but this....

If Postecoglou does win the Europa (I don't think it's happening) then it would be perverse to let him go, which males part of what you write a bit of a contradiction.

We will see.
 
So.....he walked into a dumpster fire with the club in free fall.

There are lots of sticks to beat him. Him finishing 5th in his first season with the club in the state it was isn't one of them.
Free fall… Conte despite being uninterested, left us in 4th. Let’s say 5th because we played more games than Newcastle.

And I wasn’t beating him, I was saying it’s not some achievement that we finished 5th in Postecoglou’s first season.

i was joking with that bit. I don't believe we will win the 'I always win things Cup (III)'.
 
Good morning.
Naah.

More like;

Fulham - D (borderline loss)
Chelsea - L (absolute tonking)
Southampton - W (meh)
Wolves - L (borderline draw)
Forest - L (back shots from Wood all game. I will get my coat...)
Liverpool - L (league celebration tonking)
West Ham - L (borderline draw)
Palace - L (pitiful pussyhole pathetic loss)
Aston Villa- L (Rashford England recall inspired stonking loss)
Brighton - L (end of empire vibes tonking as holiday plans kick in)

4 points.

All whilst he is allegedly going to win a trophy in his second season 🙄
today will be interesting
 
You made the claim not me. Burden of proof is on you bucko

I’m pushed for time today tbh.

So I’m relying on CHATBOT LSD. My goto AI helper.

“Archie gray has a lambo, 3 hot bitches, a holiday home in Ibiza, exclusively wears prada and a Richard Mille watch. He earns fuck loads.

Micky Van Ver Ven has a Skoda fabia, is currently dating Kerry katona, owns a holiday chalet in camber sands and prefers to wear a Casio G shock watch. All his clothes are George by Asda.
He either has a huge gambling habit or earns hardly anything.”

Case closed!!!!

No more questions.
