    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Yeah, clearly on corners. I just hope Frank can get us back to normalised goals conceded overall. I hope it's not a pipe dream to think a Spurs defence could concede in the 40-45 goal range or even better next season.

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Yeah, but only blocking keepers unless I'm mistaken. Our problems were deeper. Men kept popping up at the far post unmarked. That was in itself a topic of conversation. As the article says, the loose ball culminating in shots as we weren't shutting it down was another. In some ways the Venom...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    https://theanalyst.com/articles/tottenham-set-piece-problems-ange-postecoglou I think once you get beyond the Ange opinions in the early article, the data below it is what I'm talking about. There were clearly issues in the way we setup to defend corners and the Vicario perspective was only one...

    lol - I need to go to bed :-) Oliver Frank is our new manager right?

    In reality we need to see rotation around Romero, VDV and Danso. There are 3 combinations there that should allow us to keep them fresh. I'm pretty certain one of Danso and Romero can play left to make them a viable combination. They can definitely play right of VDV. The other player that did...

    Unless I'm mistaken Olise, Mbuemo and Eze must have played together. Surely with Toney as well when he wasn't banned. Wissa is more recent. I have a feeling Mbuemo would have covered for Toney when banned though. Was it perhaps playing with Mbuemo and Olise that made Eze focus on playing more...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    Our winning line-up was Venom Porro, Romero, VDV, Udogie Bents, Biss Johnson, Sarr, Richi Solanke So if we switched Sarr with Madds or Kulu we'd be pretty much at full strength. I appreciate the Biss vs Berg and Son vs Richi arguments but they don't really change much. In fact Biss was beast...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    I like this post because it is finally a football conversation. I don't want to put words in BYs mouth, but I think that is what he is talking about. Over the 100 or so Ange games, there were millions of decent football conversations. Conversations on players, tactics and the reasons we scored...

    Ang on. Didn't we just win a trophy on his watch? He was our Chief Football Officer when we lifted the trophy.

    I do take your point above. Poch never had a deep squad but he had an amazing eleven and couple of spares. Our squad is now stacked so we can't really add to it without removing, but we definitely need some subtle upgrades. That may happen, but more likely the manager change was about getting...

    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    The reality is that football seasons are 9 months long. Ange had 2 of them. He had 18 months of football playing months and 2 pre-seasons to embed a system across an entire squad, not just eleven players. He didn't have mitigating circumstances for the entire duration of his tenure. Even when he...

    Actually Craig played almost every game for Rovers when he went there in the second half of the 23/24 season. They went from bottom of the league at the turn of the year to play-offs for League One. Craig then only got the same amount of games in 2 loan spells for Barnsley and Mansfield last...

    Not sure about VDV as a wing-back. LB perhaps. I think if we went 3-5-2, you'd see the benefits in the 2 up top. All of Solanke, Richi, sonny, Johnson, Tel and even Kulu could operate in that 2 if the width came from the wing backs. If it's 3-4-3, then I'm less of a fan.

    I would say there are very few players in the PL that Pep would fancy. Kovacic was probably the last. He's in a short list along with Phillips, Grealish, Ake, Mahrez and Walker. Pep is quite specific about who he wants. Not sure about a KDB replacement, but it's possible Eze would be on the...

    I guess we play 2 (or 3) centre halves in the team at any one time, and we have Phillips, Dorrington, Vuskovic, Kota on top of the senior 4 or 5. Is it any different from up front where we seem to be playing the numbers game with Veliz, Scarlett, Lankshear, Melia and Feeney? If we've spent...

    Palace are now way more interesting off the field. This new investment from New York Jets this week is an example that they are trying to make moves above and beyond just being another also ran in London.

    I think we need to know Frank's formation and tactics to really understand which players can do what. I think Frank will play the double piviot midfield and Solanke up front. Now where the other 3 go, who knows. He's always been quite happy for Rico Henry to provide the width on the left and...

    Ange never turned the dials and put them in the right places to get the balance, that's all. He either over-rotated one way or towards the end of his tenure the other. Some would say that he needed more time because of the mitigating circumstances. Not me. I prefer to think about the other...
