    +++OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool+++

    It seems the whole club his hell bent on committing suicide but still... one win - particularly a win at Anfield - could completely change our momentum.

    He's a weird character. It's a bit rich for him to talk someone down considering he wasn't exactly stellar for us but I guess, unless things change drastically, he'll be able to say that he at least managed to avoid the drop.

    Apparently, he gave an interview somewhere saying he won't give the usual speech about the need to work together, regroup, etc and that he's having a hard time coping with the situation. That's where you need to draw the line, I think. As a human being, nothing, not even such a horrible event...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    Basically, there's three options left at this stage: 1- Consider the players are getting a grip of Tudor's tactics (despite the atrocious result, last night's performance was a slight improvement) 2- Get someone who will try to talk the players out of this mess by building up their confidence...

    We should sign the best sports psychologist money can buy, put him/her in charge of the team and let Mason take charge of the actual training. If anything, Tudor's failure proves that we won't get out of this mess with tactical sophistication. Either we get the few players we have left to focus...

    OMT Spurs v Athletico

    I wonder what crimes we committed in a past life to end up supporting this club... Whatever happens - and each week, it gets harder to imagine a happy end - we need a tabula rasa at the end of the season.

    Ha! Thanks for the kind words but it does look like I let myself down if it appears like there's a contradiction in my posts! It's possible that I got my ideas completely wrong, but up until the turn of the century, I'd say the manager was doing a bit of everything: tactics, training...

    Igor the Interim

    Then I suppose he's happy to change formation and his whole line-up from one game to the next? I don't watch Chelsea at all, so maybe he does, but I very much doubt it. There was a guy who was famous for using lots of players and different formations when I was a kid... Howard Kendall, maybe...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    Ha, you beat me to it. Sorry, it took me a bit longer to answer, not out of apathy, but because - as usual - there's a lot to take in from your post and I happen to be more busy than I'd like with some boring, administrative stuff. Back to our original point, I believe we're seeing the same...

    Igor the Interim

    Up until 15 years ago, I would have agreed with you, but football has become a game of patterns and systems, with little room left for improvising. Old-school managers like Clough, Ferguson or Keegan would have no place in today's football, unfortunately. To be successful as a manager, you no...

    Igor the Interim

    Yeah but that implies a lot of other things that no manager would be willing to do. Despite what Redknapp used to say, sending the lads out there to kick a ball isn't enough. You have a whole coaching set up with exercices designed to create patterns of play. Changing your system basically...

    What was the trigger in our downward trend?

    I didn't feel like answering earlier, for obvious reasons. For me, Everton away sent an awful message and that's when, personally, I gave up on Postecoglou. We were all over the place and it looked like the players had no idea at all what they were supposed to be doing. And yet, absolutely...

    Interim manager thread 2.0

    It would be pathetic but he might be the only guy who maybe would get something out of that sorry squad.

    Igor the Interim

    I don't watch Serie A anymore but I think playing 3 at the back is more common there (and that's where he's been working most of his managerial career). It's no secret how he sets up his teams so whoever appointed him made a huge mistake - again. Unless Tudor lied to his face during the...
