    I don't have reservations about him, he is quality, but there are some improvements he could make. Personally I don't buy into thr whole, we should protect our goalkeeper, the goalkeeper protects the whole team, by keeping the ball out of the net, he defends himself and his box/goal first, it...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I do agree, even more so, in rhe vacario thread I've detailed out where I'd like to see an improvement, it's the one position I really understand, there is a lot more he could do to protect himself and his area when it comes to corners I'm no coach though, but would love to heat this from a...

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    One of my sons close mates, in fact woke up to him in my house a few weeks ago and my lads going on holiday with them both in a few weeks time, both proper good lads! Reading made the u21 play offs which is pretty remarkable for what that club have been through although my son has only made 1...

    Maybe he just cant put it into games, or he is now over thinking it so confidence has taken a massive hit! I've had this into my son since he was tiny, defend your area and be horrible to anyone who comes near you in the 6 yard box, so it's definitely coachable

    No, for me it starts with thr keeper, and he's now targeted as an area of weakness (along with this zonal marking)

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    We should be doing g that with ange, not conte though, the bloke acted like he was doing us a favour! Poch did well for us, without years of experience or success, those that did actually win, failed too. Personally speaking I can't stand conte's style of football, I actually struggle with...

    But he didn't bring any success here. In order to do that, we would have had to break the bank massively (which isn't sustainable) and stick to playing rather tedious football to boot. I'm all for the tedious football, provided we win, but its fucking awful when we lose. And as someone else put...

    Probably true, but by the time conte joined after the two above, it just wore me down!

    We'll have to see how things progress, but changing a manager really doesn't do much, unless we give them adequate enough time to actually implement things, typically these days its around the 3rd year things seem to click (all be it only seen it with arsenal and liverpool that I can think of...

    WHy would we do that though, genuine question? Look at Arsenal and Llverpool to an extend (the latter started off a little better). We have finished above Arsenal 7 out of the last 8 years (something like that), Arteta is 4 years into his tenure at Arsenal and now is actually challenging for...

    He was boring and negative, which was fine in the first half of the seasons when we were doing okay, but the longer it went on, the worse it got. I'm pretty sure I've never felt as bad as I did as a spurs fan than under Conte, it was an awful time (although a few good moments). Whilst we lost...

    This is a fair point and one I like, I just think in general, we don't seem to get many decisions (could just be a spurs tinted glasses though)!

    I would like to see ange calling out ahit officiating though, it's actually been ridiculous against us since the Liverpool offside call, we see other managers calling the refs out and seemingly get rub of the green - whilst not great to use that level of sportsmanship, a little bit would be...

    I don't recall us at any point this season sat in our box with 11 players defending against relentless attacking play from the opposition, which happened far too often last season.

    This is it really, recognises there is an issue, but he seems more than just that issue. Still maintain that we played really well yesterday bar those few moments

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Jesus, I often wonder if we watch the same things, or if fans have gone that far into 'social media soundbites' to reflect games. Fee areas need sorting but it's such a massive improvement on last season, it's actually a joke. Yesterday was small bargains, a 2nd goal that should never have...

    It's the keepers responsibility to stop that happening. Imagine a centra back getting pushed so easily back and asking his team mates for help... What he needs to do is start higher and stay higher, pushing everyone away from him, to stop it happening. I'd be very surprised rhat this isn't...

    Zonal marking is awful anyway, it's easy to exploit, especially with a top team. Doubled down even more that our keeper seems to crumber when someone is near him, makes it worse. I'm not scapegoating vicario, he is a top keeper. But this is one area he really needs to improve on, as its...

    And this is where the keeper shouldn't let him get near. Tbh, I'm an ex keeper, and my sons a keeper, so all the way the outfielders are set up, I tend to look inwardly at what the keeper can do to stop it, he shouldn't let a single outfielder near him, yet he usually ends up behind his goal...
