Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[FuturistiC123]

Ange has managed for over 20 years, other than his first job at Sth Melbourne in the NSL, 3 seasons is the max he stays anywhere. Unless he has great success next term, there is always a possibility that he will move on. He is 58 now, if he gets his message across and gets the players he wants, who knows, but there are no certainties in football.

He has always strived to get to the next level.
I think he has hit the top in his mind. The Premier league.
He will honour his contract I think at least.

Would be surprised if Ange is on Liverpool's list really. He doesn't have either the CV or the Liverpool connections they normally like.

If he manages to turn us around and actually win something then I imagine he'll be on a lot of big clubs lists.

But outside of alonso there are no stand out candidates for them

This is it, he's only moved to progress because of where he came. Now he's at the best league there's no reason not to stay long term. This idea that he hasn't spent more than a few years so that's all he will ever do is nonsense. Pep didn't spend the sort of time he has at City with Barca or Bayern. Are people expecting him to stay longer in Australia or Japan or Scotland?

I think Klopp is secretly trying to get the Tottenham job so using his media connections to try to get Ange out of the door. Desperate by Klopp really but that’s what happens when you’re a massive team in London with the best stadium and training ground in the world. We need to get used to the best managers and players wanting to join us.

Love him as we do, Liverpool are not going to replace Jurgen Klopp with an Aussie who at best will finish 4th this season and got knocked out of both cups at the first opportunity. Obviously there’s no context behind that but that’s the reality of the situation.

Imagine a Liverpool team playing like we just did in the first half v Wolves they would be going crazy after what they are used to.

Needs to have a Plan B.

 

[mattspur1]

You cannot continue to set the team up to play this way, we've been found out. We have to set up to stop conceding goals.

I posted this back in December and got absolutely hammered for it on here.
I wasn't wrong.

I'm wasn't wrong.

Hi wasn’t wrong, I’m Tucker.

 

[Guntz]

We're so easy to play against currently.

All you have to do is sit in a low block and you'll get plenty of chances on the break.

We play with no width and it's so congested in the middle that we struggle to create anything.

List for the next two weeks.

Defensive set pieces.
More defensive set pieces.
Even more defensive set pieces.

Two weeks warm weather training please Ange. Like a mini pre season to get back to the start of the season form.

Season is on a knife edge now. If we don’t arrest this slump in form sharpish then we can say goodbye to playing in The Champions League next season.

A win for United tomorrow and they are right on our heels.

 

[Rout-Ledge]

Really disappointing form for quite a long time now. Even in games we’ve won we’ve rarely looked genuinely convincing and dispatched the opposition by two or more goals. He needs to sort it out. Still have faith!

Hi wasn’t wrong, I’m Tucker.

corrected!

 

[GioW]

Love Ange but those early cup exits are going to look alot worse if we miss out on champions league to a meh Villa team and a united team in chaos for most the year.

Context doesn't count on SC - see the slagging off Conte got for getting us and keeping us 4th.

History suggests there is no Plan B to Ange's style of football.
