Management The Ange Postecoglou always wins stuff in his second season positivity thread: evAngelists only

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Ok, in the spirit of positivity, I'd like Ange to recognise the new low this season with some changes for Anfield. All around the theme of being on board with his project and playing for the badge. Ideally play Radu, VDV and Romero. Play one or two of the U21s who are in form. Drop the most of out of form players. Play GLC. Some change please Ange!
 
It reminds me United. And I am not saying Ange is Fergie or anything like that.

Fergie ruled that place. Players knew it.

Now the players rule and managers get moved on.
It’s a shit culture to have.

I said elsewhere I think it’s a personnel issue - how many times did Johnson get in a great position to put in a cross yesterday and never beat the first man.
De Bruyne does that same thing We have 4+ passes into the danger area.

We need that sort of quality up top.
That’s why these front players we have are not good enough. After about 5 mins you knew cucarella would get the better of him because Johnson never won the first couple of duals. That’s a weak mentality and also a lack of ability. I can’t defend any of our front players anymore. They all struggle to do the basics never mind excel in a game.

As for your comment on United I agree.
Fergie had a fear factor and I see that with Ange. I’ve followed him closely and saw it a lot at Celtic. Last night was the one of the few times I saw him on the brink of losing his shit with the players. Behind closed doors these players will know exactly what Ange thinks and I don’t think any player is safe with him.

Imagine Utd knee jerked and got rid of Fergie when they were struggling. Man Utd would not be the club that they’ve been for the last 40 years if they didn’t let him build from scratch. Even more recently look at what Klopp built. Time is a must.
 
Am I the only won who would rather win the City game even if means the Arse winning the league? I don't really a fuck about them tbh. Just want us to start heading in the right direction

Ange and the players will be thinking the same.

I'm not even giving it any thought tbh. If we somehow hit rock bottom and react vs Liverpool then maybe I will think about it but I also think woolwich will pick up a random loss before then and the title will be over already.

At this point a statement win for our lads will be a lot better for them than getting trounced by 4 or 5.

We need to show some sort of fight / resolve in that game.

They are playing for their own pride at this stage of the season.

But will be a very weird atmosphere if Woolwich start 4 points in front of city that night………

WTFF!!
 
I still love Ange and keeping everything crossed that he can get us competing, or at least playing some good football.

That's as positive as I can be, at the moment (can you be positive and utterly miserable at the same time?).

COYS
 
We could ship some of the negative ones to Wrexham, their success and glee needs a little bit of balance and realism imo.

for a different thread but it is an interesting one, they'll soon come up against clubs much richer than they are, probably at championship level.
But then again the owners are so famous that they could quite easily attract better sponsors who want to be apart of it than most clubs in england
 
Some real conversations are going to be had out of this run of poor performances, I don't think anyone will be able to hide it's pretty much impossible, players and coaches at this point are all equally under the blowtorch and the pain being felt will help bring some honesty to those conversations as going through the motions and not being all in aren't acceptable, that's my hope for the team working their way out of this hole because you don't get out by giving up.

We had just come off our most diabolical season since… AVB? Longer?

Give the man time. Everyone would have taken 5th at the start of the season.

Klopp won 16 in his first season. Arteta won 14 in his first season. Postecoglou has already won 18.

Give him time you melts.
Putting Arteta in the same paragraph as Klopp seems a bit of a stretch. Klopp has won everything with Liverpool, including playing in 3 CL finals. He's one of the best managers in the past 25 years of the PL (I feel sick typing that).

Lego has won an FA Cup, bottled 1 league title chase and needs help from City/us to not bottle it this year.
 
Just don’t win that specific game. That one match. Win the rest. I feel like the brief is clear enough.
I know the reasoning lose help city , etc but it really should be about us and what we are aiming for the bigger picture should be about us and what we’re doing and going to do and if that means playing well and taking points off City then so be it our integrity is questioned nobody else’s
