And who else in the bottom half of the league did have Kane?
This is just a list of excuses.

And who else in the bottom half of the league did have Kane?
This is just a list of excuses.
Poor guy had to deal with not having the best striker in the world while playing once a week.
What do you mean "pick up"? HE'S BEEN ON ANGE'S STAFF THIS WHOLE TIME.
He's been out there at Hotspur Way drilling said chaos-ball into this squad day after day.
You have a deeply unsound heuristic for what an assistant coach is.
Call it "kamikaze forward" if you like, there is truth in that, but under the right circumstances it's terribly difficult to defend, even for the best teams.
And I think the players really understand what he wants from them, he's clear and consistent in what he expects them to do tactically and players like and respond to that.
Doing those things makes us often fatally vulnerable on the counterattack, might be more than the players can physically bear over the course of a season, and just did a 180 about-face to win a trophy so I don't know what it means going forward.
But I continue to be mystified by people who are so deeply committed to the notion that Ange is a fraudster with no method to his madness. It's literally just the same old possession-based stuff everyone is playing with a bit more aggressive press triggers and fullback positioning. It ain't that deep.

Wow
Palace SPANKED us twice
Frank finished way above us in the PL and with the smallest budget in the division, a ground 1/4 our size, no fans, no history….
Mate you’re off the chart delusional
This was the logical extension of what you said about him not deviating too far from maurinho and conte when he took over. for short spells
In no way did Mason or Wells devise our tactical approach, set-up, dynamics, general organisation (or lack thereof) or anything else to do with our game or the way we played.
Ego Ange told them exactly what he wanted and they did what he instructed, because it's HIS system.
"You have a deeply unsound heuristic for what an assistant coach is."
The irony is bonkers.
The rest of the apologia is simply warped.
Your case is weak and your defence full of holes.
Fitting, really.
But this wasn't true for Jose and Conte?
You are football illiterate
Fucking what lmao? Shall we compare the budget available to Frank to the budget available to Ange?
Frank took up a championship team. Ange took over a team that only two seasons before he arrived had been top 4.
And I don’t even want Frank. We could also compare Frankfurts wage budget when they won it? I can do this all day.
Yeah, well, you know,uh, that's just like, your opinion, man
So 'twould seem
Organization too.
Look i know you were fishing so you could give your ready made answer. Youre not as clever as you make yourself out to be.
But mostly, its just years of experience of winning things and knowing how to get teams over the line. You cant buy that or teach it.
Poch couldn't do it could he?? He didnt have any experience in doing so and he shit the bed many many times in high pressure games.
Biggest final in my living memory and the team put in a completely soulless performance that made my eyes bleed.
Ill ask you but you won't answer because the point of this wasn't to have a discussion... it was to entertain your fans....
What evidence do you have that Mason and Wells would have won it?
Oooo almost like he was facing 98 point Liverpool and not 16th placed crisis United. Also we were eye bleedingly dreadful against United, they’re just fucking shit mate so we got away with it by dribbling one over the line and doing nothing else and parking a bus.
Poch played the second string in Europa because back then the club were like ‘bro it’s the Europa’ and if he’d thrown everything at just that he’d have been sacked on the spot.
"Organization too."
Are you on fucking crack???
" You're not as clever as you make yourself out to be."
I am you know.
"But mostly, its just years of experience of winning things and knowing how to get teams over the line. You cant buy that or teach it."
So, Aura? An intangible?
Convenient.
He just had to... be there.
"Poch couldn't do it could he?? He didnt have any experience in doing so and he shit the bed many many times in high pressure games."
Poch is another Ego hound who got what he deserved (fans deserved the cup) for treating Moura with utter contempt and ungratefulness and making a terrible footballing decision because he was high on his own farts.
"Biggest final in my living memory and the team put in a completely soulless performance that made my eyes bleed."
I know, unlike the scintillating EL final.
What evidence do you have that Mason and Wells would have won it?
As much as I have that Ange's aura got us over the line and not the players after being given just the most basic level of structure to perform in, which allowed them to get the job done with the qualities they do have.
The reply was to your reference to my being delusional. Another contributor with reading comprehension issues, it would appear. The dude abides.
good tacticians have plans and counter plans, etc. they react to what is before them in the match. kamikaze ball gets us ripped to shreds most games so you have to find a balance and ange has shown he can't or won't do that. i lean towards can't. and we've seen what he's come up with to defend deeper and it produces 1 shot a game. again, people who know what they're doing don't put forth tactics and performances like that.
Yeah, that poster is about as ITK as my pubes.
