So what you're saying is Tottenham should've signed a better manager in the summer rather than Frank, and better profile of player ? So this season's mistakes

Hence nothing to do with last season

Correct.
First point is true, it still has sth to do with last season. Its always a game of multiple factors. Opponent teams come to us with happy memories of easy wins, there is no fear. Times are over teams came to White Hart Lane, shitting their pants facing players like Dembele, Kane or Bale. And we made it easy for every team and hand them the necessary belief. We are losing every battle on the psychological front. That started a while ago and got intensified by Ange. (the guy who proved at Forest he is clueless)
 
The final we won. The reason that game was so poor is mostly because United players went down every tine they lost the ball, then cried and moaned against every decision that went against them.

If it wasn't for Ange giving the plauers the belief they could win, and Romero digging in and fighting for everything, we would have lost that game, and would still be trophyless .
Fact is, everyone of our playmakers were missing for that game, Madders, Bergvall and Kulu....I'm convinced we would have created far more chances had any been involved. Utd hardly had any injuries so what was their excuse?...

What absolute load of word waffle.

Motivate the players? Like he did in the league last year, to 22 losses? After being found out by every other manager?

Motivated shit, is still shit. And what's the point in his motivation if his tactics don't work anymore and easy to counter?

How brain dead do you have to be to not understand this?
You know nothing about motivation, all you are interested in is pulling people down!
Your not a prison officer are you?
 
Thats how football works and thats why you can not really judge a manager by a few games.

You can judge a manager by development of play, development of results, regular level of performance. That got worse by every game under Ange, but its also discussed to death.

CL final had not much to do with who is the manager. What can a manager do if you get a hand ball penalty one minute in?

Who is judging the manager from the final alone? I dont believe anyone calling Ange the messiah? (Maybe candrews candrews is ;) )

I thihk most sensible people know that the guy's approach is flawed and he is incredibly stubborn but he does know how to get over the line, that much is obvious.

You've missed the point about the CL final, you said we were lucky in the final despite Utd doing all the running and having more shots and possesion, in the CL final that was us and yet Liverpool were the ones who lifted the trophy, that wasn't attributed down to 'luck' so why should our win be?
 
Pub talk arguments, here we go :franklol:

obviousl its the only thing that matters in a final. Its still not a reason to install a failing manager who could not sort a defense to save his life for a second time.

You're trying to downplay us winning a trophy using all sorts of mental gymnastics, it's so painful. :ange-facepalm2:

Who gives a fuck how we got over the line? The fact is we did and we did something which the likes of Jose, Conte, Poch, Redknapp etc...failed to achieve. Was Ange a better manager than these managers, no? But he did something that they were incapable of doing at this football club.

I find any Spurs fans turning their noses up at us winning trophies utterly hilarious, have you actually listened to yourself?

Ange won a trophy for us by hook or by crook...the fact is he won, you just got to deal with it.

Quite literally displaying how they aren't really fans, by the very definition of what a fan is.

They relentlessly slag the clubs achievements off.

You don't know anything full stop.

All you have done is post brainless drivel after brainless drivel, whilst going balls deep on Levy's angry inch.

Bla blah blah motivation... Well, if Ange was so fucking great at motivation, why did we finish 17th losing 22 games last season, and threw a away CL spot the season before?

We have scored more goals in last 10 games, than your IQ score.

Absolutely fecking thick as shit.

🤣

Then explain the rest of the season when we was just as shit or worse, and those players were available?

We wasn't shit for one game with a lack of creativity... We finished 17th losing 22 games, coz we was shit all season with or without those players and struggled all season creating chances.

Ange got found out, by the rest of PL, we was so easy to play against.

If its all about your very simplistic way of looking at things. There should have been no debate about Anges future in the summer then? And yet he got the sack. Rightly so.

I never downplay us winning a trophy or say it isnt a great achievement for our history books. I am judging the manager and his involvement in the whole thing. And just because he won a trophy with us I don't see him as any sort of manager-wizard and its all about how we go forward.

Its like saying Roberto di Matteo is a manager genious for winning the CL with Chelsea against Bayern Munich and achieved something, Conte or Mourinho couldn't do at Chelsea. He did well but also got lucky because he could never recreate some sort of similiar success in his managerial career.

I always said thanks Ange for the trophy, you gambled and win here and gave us a brillant moment but still think he is not what we need ever again. It is maybe a judgement for people who have more than a Ange good or Ange bad view.
 
You're willing to give up without even wanting the club to put up a fight?

That's sad.
Everything the club does is wrong

It's not about what I want

It's my firm belief that there isn't a manager in world football that could keep this shower of shit afloat

The club gave up in January

Bringing back a guy who played a key role in creating this rancid losing culture where it's ok to lose premier league matches on a regular basis would just be yet another humiliating cringefest in a season full of them
