Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[spurs mental]

Fuck me are people really going to embark on yet another round of what's wrong with and why Ange should go?

haha

There's been no Spurs for over a week now, the Poch thing is gone quiet. We're bored.

I don't think it's unfair because I've never seen him make enough tweaks in game to honestly make a difference in time.

Take the Brighton game for example. We were cruising at 2 up. Brighton came out flying and you could see their first goal coming. They scored. No changes. They scored again, and then they scored their third. No changes for nearly 15 minutes after their 3rd goal

As you mention the Everton game, he tried some weird formation but no tweaks to how we played. We were 2 down in half an hour getting battered by fucking Everton. There was an injury break around the 40 minute mark, Moyes has his players around him, ours were stood hands on hips staring into space and Ange stood on the other side of the pitch. Everton scored again before HT

He does absolutely nothing in game to change the flow, and then we hear the "we weren't at our levels" excuse. But it's down to him we aren't at the levels when we walk out on to the pitch because he does not give the players a chance to compete with the way we're set up. Regardless of him tweaking at the formation, the mistakes continue to happen in the same way. Long diagonal ball over our defence with a full back miles up and midfield nowhere to be seen.

Your final paragraph here sums it up perfectly ..... and it does my fucking head in!

So at the start of the season then what's the reasoning? We lost to Ipswich with a full squad outside of VDV.

We lost to Palace with a full squad, outside of Son missing but everyone wanted Moore to be playing at that stage anyway and he did. Brighton capitulation? Bournemouth away, Fulham last week. The list goes on. It can't just be down to injuries all the time.

Disagree. Last game there were insufficient injuries Ange had to pick, coach and motivate team and was obviously overwhelmed

In all his time here:

Conceded in 81% of league games
won 45% PL matches
Lost 40% PL matches

This season:

Conceded in 79% of league games
won 34% PL matches
Lost 52% PL matches

Indefensible

Conceded in 81% of matches is insane lol, no wonder we are so far down the league and 16th best team on form.

Back on the roundabout we go

Sarcasm. Maybe just funny in my head!

Well even if there are no games and he does nothing we can always scrutinise the past even more to back a point!

Over a week of no Spurs I think has done me wonders. Come Thursday 10pm next week I’ll locate the whisky cabinet again.

Likely by 8.05pm

This is the first time in recent memory that I wish the international break was longer...

And there are, of course, ways of doing nothing…

 

[nipponyid]

Only pop in here now incase there's any talk of who his successor should be.

Dino Toppmöller!

FA Cup this weekend. A few more days of peace.

Unless Spurs want to keep posting about Pirlo scoring a free kick.

It was an ace free kick.

 

[Romulus]

Spence. He's developed Gray and Bergvall and VDV looks great.

They are all players in their first season in our team. The question should be who played for him last year that actually looks better and has improved?

And then Chelsea and after that, possibly the worst Premier League side in history... what could go wrong...

Not going to get into that discussion here but I believe his all round game has been good for us this season.

We're not in the solanke thread and I wasn't aiming at him at all. I find it bonkers that a 20 goal Bournemouth striker struggled here for crosses etc.
