*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City ***

I agree

If we were 7th I'd be happy enough.

We're 15th and losing to a Ruud van Nistelrooy tactical masterclass.

I don't really considering it to be managing if the only way for your system to flourish is to have 2 top in their class players for every position. We'll never be that sort of club.

Nothing tactical masterclass here. Dumb mistakes from 2 senior players. That is what irritates me. It is not the teenagers making the errors. It is the experienced players.
 
We make brick teams look good.

I like Ange but his in-game management isn't good enough. Of course Leicester will come out with a point to prove. We buckle under the slightest pressure and don't seem ready, in fact we play into their hands.

Sick of making brick teams look good.

Yes I agree to an extent . But as much as you can say it’s mismanaged it’s not a top 4-6 squad.

Ange has a footballing philosophy that requires City of a season or two ago’s level of talent and depth We don’t have that so it was destined to fail.

That does not excuse Levy and the recruitment. Although nice we got some young talent we needed proven talent to compete. I said this all summer.

Where is our top quality in this squad ? No superstar player anymore. VDV, Bale , Kane , Ginola , Klinsman , Berbatov , Carrick.

Nothing of that ilk . Some will say Romero but not for me.

Kane saw the writing on the wall.

Look at articles recently. Wages is what attracts quality and we don’t pay top dollar . Unless you’re the chairman.

I agree the quality of the squad and team is not to the level many seem to think it is but I'd argue it is a top 8 squad and with a coach who can overachieve Top 6 is very possible with a sneaky attempt at Top 4 also within the realms of credibility.

Alas no, we are 15th in the table and it's not looking like it's going to get any better. We don't have a 15th in the table calibre squad, Ange isnt even hitting par, we are massively underperforming.

I saw someone say at the end of the first half let's keep a clean sheet. I laughed in my reaction because we all know that wasn't bloody happening and that the crux of things, we can't defend, we are way too easy too score against and it doesn't matter which players are selected. Its inherent to our system and philosophy of Ange Postecoglou.
