Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

[Dougal]

I actually think Moyes. Didn’t have much immediate success in the transfer market after selling Rice (although they look to have done some decent business since) and beat both Brighton and Chelsea

Manager of the Month for beating Chelsea

I'm trying not to get too excited for the immediate future until after the arse, pool games, even though we could lose both and still have a great season.

Win tomorrow and we can go into both knowing defeats aren't the end of the world because we have had such a strong start.

Yeah me as well, I think some people are getting a bit carried away.

Spoiler: also me...

I'm always excited until they let me down. But I believe this time is different. Just me.

I think that is part of the amazing story about Ange - not only has he taken on a new club, but he started from scratch with the coaching staff as well.

To get everyone pulling in the same direction, in such a short space of time - with the Kane saga in the backdrop - simply amazing.


I refuse to give Levy credit for getting this one correct (but, he got this one correct).

There's no manager of the month curse. It only went south for Nuno, but in the past it was a non-event. During the Poch era we had a number of MOTM and POTM awards and it was water off a duck's back.

We'll take the Blades to the sword.

Great comments about "pecking order"

Of course I’ve always wanted every one of our mangers to be a success, but I just really really want our current manager to have all the success he deserves….just a thoroughly no nonsense, decent bloke.

You had Ashley Phillips on bench at Burnley, do you have any hesitation about playing him in the Premier League?
No, that is why we signed him. We think he has great potential. Obviously it is hard because he hasn't played at all for us because he wasn't here for pre-season and missed all that, but he has had a couple of U21 games, which is great. We will try get him some game time but training with us every day, you can see him getting closer and closer and yeah if we need to use him, we will.

I. Love. Ange.

Really liked This answer from Ange - I know as supporters we tend to think in a mindset of we need 2 at each position to play Ange's style of football, I even myself think that.

Johnson and Kulusevski are quite different players, is it good to have that option?

Again I have stated before, I have never been one who likes to double up in positions. I like players to bring different qualities and Deki and Brennan are different players who can both play more than one position in that front half, which is what we're looking for. You look at Manor and Ivan, they are different kind of wingers, Sonny is a different kind of winger and Sonny and Richy are different kinds of strikers. You look at our midfielders and they all have different qualities but basic elements of it fit in with our football. Sometimes you need to change within the game and bringing on a different type of winger helps you and other times game to game you need a different type of personnel to counteract the opposition so that is another reason I thought he was a really good fit for us.

I think I need to see a psychologist now too because I’m sure Ange could sell me his arse wiped toilet paper and I’d eat it right up

Pretty sure he’d be giving you a stern look right now and saying “mate.”

When the last time you genuinely looked forward to hearing the manager’s pressers week in and week out?

Never. I've listened to every second of anges presser this season.
