Manager Ange Postecoglou

Harking back to this, I wonder if Ange's response now reflects his naivety:

Eric:
"Interestingly, he really doesn't do any tactical work (in training),"
"What he does is, every single training drill from Monday to Friday is drawn up to represent the way that he wants to play.
"Conte, I could do it blind, but that was a lot of tactical work Monday to Friday, a lot of 10 versus zero, walkthroughs. You were so well drilled, it would be engrained in you."
Ange:
"It's probably something you'd have to ask Eric, I don't know what you mean by tactical work. Everything we do is geared on how we are going to play our football, so for me by extension is tactical work.
"Whether that's on us, or whether it's on the opposition. In fact I would probably say we don't do anything apart from tactical work.
"That's all we do every day. If we're working on our fitness, we're still trying to play our football.
"But I haven't seen the interview so I'm not sure what he's referencing. If you're talking about do we do training where we're standing around and working on how we're going to stop an opposition, how we're going to break down, no we don't do that.
"But I don't think that's the only kind of tactical work that exists. I think anyone who trains with us will tell you that all we do is train the way we play. Maybe that's not tactical work, I don't know!"
Considering the managers Eric worked under - Poch, Jose, Conte etc, plus Hodgson - they are all accomplished managers and very experienced - it kind of pulls on a thread a little there.
Could say I'm reading too much into it, for sure, but Ange's response was almost one where he almost didn't seem to understand what tactical training was. It is evident from how baffled the team look, at times, that something was missing - but I wonder if it's a really obvious part of his experience that hasn't mattered up until now.
Ange Postecoglou dismisses Eric Dier's claims Tottenham boss refuses to carry out tactical work during training
Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier revealed last week that he felt Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou never focused on tactical work in training; Dier was sold in January after making four Premier League appearances this term; Postecoglou says we dont do anything apart from tactical work

People on here were backing Ange up though.
Pretty sure I stated that Italian and Spanish coaches base a lot of their sessions around drills with no opposition.
Personally I learnt a lot working with Spanish coaches.
And they in turn had experienced a variety of European influences.
Something Ange definitely would have missed out on coaching in Australia.
He did try and tell us tbf.Harking back to this, I wonder if Ange's response now reflects his naivety:

"I don't know what you mean by tactical work."
A Mayor probably deflecting away from the problems his city has.
Nothing new here, no doubt this clown never sat through every minute of every painful league game.
Just a clueless hype merchant jumping on a bandwagon.

Harsh but fair.
Jesus that’s embarrassing.
apparently Melbourne has a very large Greek population ... the obsession is really weird but doesn't surprise me at all. All will be forgotten very soon. Imagine being offended by it and telling THFC what to do like it's local Council business.
Melbourne has the largest Greek population outside of………… Greece. True story.apparently Melbourne has a very large Greek population ... the obsession is really weird but doesn't surprise me at all. All will be forgotten very soon. Imagine being offended by it and telling THFC what to do like it's local Council business.
South Melbourne who Ange played for and coached, were originally named South Melbourne Hellas, and if anyone did research on Ange they’d know that’s the Greek community club that him and his Dad attended matches.
Arrogance at its best. Explains a lot!apparently Melbourne has a very large Greek population ... the obsession is really weird but doesn't surprise me at all. All will be forgotten very soon. Imagine being offended by it and telling THFC what to do like it's local Council business.
The US could be looking for a new manager fairly soon.
Ange's philosophy seems to be heavily reliant on high workrate. The idea isn't so much that the system is meant to be better, so much as the players are going to work harder than the opponent and that pushes the system over the line.
Fine in theory, but it does leave some clear and obvious gaps in the system at play.
At some point, some people are just winding up the people from the other camp for a reaction. You could just ignore and scroll through these posts
X is probably one of the last places you’d be looking for grown ups.
We are pretty selective over here so I am sure you and your nonsense would not get past the front gate!
Met many have you?
Ohhh... now it all makes sense. haha
Why would I need to to get the impression I've gotten?
Understand a post before replying to it, you flaming galah.
