    'Easily upgraded on'...like who? What kind of price, and whether he would want to come to us?

    I agree with this and think we might actually play well against MC. Expectation is low and our players can't cope with pressure. Thats the problemt this run of form shows and Ange has to address this if he was to reach his lofty goals. We can beat Burnley + Sheff convincingly and still wont be...

    He tried. He was asked to do a job he was ill-suited for. What more can you ask?

    Match Threads Liverpool vs Spurs

    We over-delivered in the 1st half of the season. Then teams started playing the low block against us. Players got injured and results started to fall, so they lose confid and faith. Too scared to play and too concerned about the results. Thus dont get back into form. Then we are up against...

    We play awful against a better team away from home. Whats the surprise. 2-0 down we still have a chance if we get lucky. No reason to not watch 2nd half.

    Everyone looks passed it at MU tho. He is ex-Spurs and good at using the ball.

    Speaking of Eriksen he's probably available from MU. Would be interesting if Ange looks at this.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    My original msg was in response to someone who said whats the harm in trying academy players. I think most ppl on this forum see what GLC can bring; so I doubt Ange would miss this. The reason he isn't featured is likely something contractual, or that GLC has already decided he will be gone...

    Im a glass-empty pessimistic person. But I look at Chelsea and Man Utd. It's real evidence that money doesn't buy success. Star players have come and gone. Sancho's recent success at Dortmund is also telling; shows you that players just dont suddenly become bad, there is something about the club...

    It's easy to have faith. We've gone from counter-attacking football over the last 3-4 seaons to front-foot football this season, and it worked for a while. Who's to say things wont improve? The intention to play front-foot is there. The execution is inconsistent. We are Spurs. Inconsistency is...

    It's part of any job to get frustrated, because you can't control everything. Deal with it. It's not unique to this club.

    Ange will lose the dressing room by throwing on players he doesn't think is ready. Team selection is meant to be a meritocracy. Just imagine if Kulu gets benched for Mike Moore, and then it turns out Moore fails to perform. Kulu trains with him daily, so he likely already knows what level...

    At least you realized it now. Our AMs aren't top 6 quality. Forget Man City/Arsenal/Liverpool. We don't even stack up against Villa/Man U. Our AMs are very good at certain things but severely lacking in others, which is why the attack doesn't look fluid and we are easy to stop. Werner: can't...

    He needs love and support. He is a club icon and a model pro. He signed a long contract with us at our low point and this should not be forgotten. He has done well overall this season but has dropped off in form due to a dysfunctional attack. His main job is to finish off moves. He gets some...

    He needs extra players of sufficient calibre to handle the unexpected; injuries, suspensions etc; and meanwhile hope that those players will improve to a point where they can challenge for a starting position. Skipp and Donley don't fall into that category. I think you are underestimating our...

    This is the sort of mentality that makes players weak under pressure.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    There is too much emphasis on set-piece/defensive organisation atm. We have a bigger problem than that. We are failing to create/threaten. The players are losing/have lost faith in their football. We have seen this time and time again over many seasons. It's exactly what Conte says; we can't...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Ange blamed himself several times in the short post-match interview which was hard to watch. He seemed disappointed with the player's lack of belief in themselfs, to play their own football. I like what I saw. I think its positive. I sense someone who truly is thinking/feeling on behalf of the...

    Yes his main players haven't been good enough. The responsibility of that lies on both camps. Introducing inferior players is blind hope. It doesn't work on a professional level. It's a diff story if those aformentioned players come on as subs and manage to show us that they are PL level...
