The thing he needs to do to change it around he won't do
He won't use the youth and he won't change his style

Management Another Snap Poll on Ange - 24/25 Edition

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Problem is though mate, it does for all the world to see look like a cost cutting exercise.
But if ange isn't or wasn't happy with it, why did he go along with it, he should have dug his heels in and see how it played out.
He has been given one first team player, tbe rest all kids, that was a shit window.
The 8th richest club in the world has once again embarrassed itself.

I can’t see how things will improve given the poor state of our squad and suitability to his tactics but there’s no one else out there who will improve. Might aswell give him until the summer when managers like Iraola, Thomas Frank etc are more likely to be willing to take over. The options out there are awful right now and the thought of us going for Southgate fills me with dread.
Then why did we buy youth?
As I understand (and I may be wrong) we have something like four clean sheets in our last thirty seven games.
We won't be winning anything with that kind of defensive record.
Secondly Ange has built his system around wing play, fast decisive attacking down the wings. The data from yesterdays game was shocking.
Son and Joh son are not working, and on current form this season never will. And in the case of Johnson I am still staggered how Lange thought of spending that kind of money for a winger that cannot beat a man.
Expecting Klopp to come to us is pure fantasy, that is never going to happen.
I think Poch, Jose and Conte wanted to change the "club culture".
We created nothing, have now conceded in something like thirty four of our last thirty seven games (most with the players that have now left admittedly).
Ange admitted two things:
Romero switched off
Solanke wasn't fit.
Ange had an opportunity to get rid of Richy (who will never be fully fit for any length of time), and he has seen Romero cost us three goals and could have dropped him. But he has dome neither of the above.
Odobert, or Werner could have started on the left, Son in the middle, and Kulu on the right.
Why spend transfer money on Bergvall, and Gray if they can't start?
Levy has sanctioned Lange's transfer targets, and this with Ange's approval.
We are toothless up front and a defensive quality of a sieve.
Is Sarr now a bench warmer?
I saw nothing different from this team without Pierre, Skipp, Dier, Emerson and the like as I did with them. That alone shows just how much progress we have made.
Take nothing away from Woolwich who are individually, and as a team streets ahead of us but the biggest difference on Sunday was that Arteta had a plan, formation, and tactics that worked against us, will be copied and will likely work again by other teams.
Ange just doesn't have the tactical nous in any area of the pitch to improve what we are seeing. I don't want to see him fired now but I don't believe we will make Europe this season and certainly not top four given yesterdays woeful performance.
Here's Ange's narrow eyed view yet again.

Trying to slip that in as a positive is fucking hilariousWe are only in all cups because. None of them have fucking started yet.
Hoping they end up a mega profit sale like Bale, Kane etc.
There have been changes. We conceded 8 goals in the same fixtures against Everton, Woolwich and Newcastle and this season it's just the three. Brainfarts from Romero notwithstanding and exposure to rapid counters noted, we've not leaked as many goals so far. Just struggling to score them.
I’m struggling to see him survive the next 4 league games. Brentford is as must win as it gets, but I could easily see us draw that 0-0 or 1-1. He then has United and Brighton away - difficult to see a win from those - although United are definitely still shit. If he is sat there with 7 points from 7 games - or less !!! During the international break, then Baldylocks is going to be especially twitchy.
Would only take a bad result to the hammers and the ground will be as toxic as it gets.
In the meantime if he dicks around in the cups and we go out and look unlikely to finish top 8 in Europa then he should just go anyway - winning a cup is the only hope we have this season and if he can’t even be bothered to go strong in that then what’s the point of any of it

Don't understand why it's so difficult for them to score.
It is what it is mate, we need more belief, play our football etc.
It's all the same fucking shit without saying much of substance at all.
I'm getting bored of his shit non-answer excuses.
We’ve actually conceded less and scored more but it matters not one fuck as the only stat that is important remained exactly the same - 1 win and 2 losses.
For my money we should have 4 more points - we should have beat Leicester comfortably, we should have draw (at least) at Newcastle and we should have just taken the 0-0 yesterday. 8 points followed by a win at home to Brentford and progressing past Coventry and there would have been virtually no pressure - even if United and Brighton turned us over. Now though he is living game by game - first cup final being Wednesday night
We’ve scored more this year in the corresponding fixtures - but we can’t manage the pressure of tight games
I'm.sorry but I saw all I needed to in that weird interview where he needlessly backed himself into a corner. That showed a fundamental lack of intelligence. Starting to think he just isn't the brightest....
We will continue to lose every game we're expected to lose with him it seems. No blagging a win against better opposition anymore, barely worth watching those games.
We will win most games against bottom half sides which is fine but ultimately par for course.
With our upcoming fixtures until 4th January, it's hard to see beyond the following results;
Win Brentford (H)
Lose United (A)
Draw Brighton (A)
Lose West Ham (H)
Win Palace (A)
Draw Villa (H)
Win Ipswich (H)
Lose City (A)
Win Fulham (H)
Win Bournemouth (A)
Lose Chelsea (H)
Win Southampton (A)
Lose Liverpool (H)
Win Forest (A)
Draw Wolves (H)
Lose Newcastle (H)
This would give us 28 points from 20 games. On track for 56 points, mid table.
If this were the case I would sack him by the Newcastle game at the latest, after a home West Ham defeat at the earliest.

Klopp spent what we have done this season on two players, that is the difference. We spent on 'potential' Klopp spent on here and now quality player something we haven't done possibly since the days of Ardiles, Gazza, Lineker, or Klinsmann possibly Toby.
Levy lucked out with Kane.
We heard that Barca were after Bergvall, yet he can't get a start against Everton or Leicester?
The media drooling over Ange, his funny press conferences and gung-ho never seen before tactics are all click bait gold for the reporters, but unfortunately what most fans are seeing is possession based, going nowhere, no end product football.
It's really no different than under Jose, or Conte, the football is just being played further up the pitch.
