The key being they havent actually won anything since he stuck with a fixed team each season..l and they falter at the end

Arsenal's gane is seldom rushed...like consistently higher than average tempo which I feel is great in injury prevention and maintaining peak fitness.
We are like walking pace then suddenly fast to get 9 men up and panicking full spees when defending a quick counter. Yeah it's not for the faint hearted but that's how you get hamstring injuries quickly

Not even close …. Under Aussie Ardiles we are trying to win 10 nil without the players up front to finish. At least under Harry there was some sort of midfield structure rather than being like butter

Someone earlier was saying we cross blind
We do… because if everyone does their job, it creates chances

Same heart attack inducing tension after we score! Especially the last 10 minutes of every game. No telling which way the game would end.

If you know where the ball is going to end up you have no excuse for not busting a gut to try and be there when the ball comes across. It is a simple tap in for you if you make the run.

Saw a stat this morning...Ange's overall league record with Spurs:
Played 41, Won 21, Drew 7, Lost 13
Taking out the fast start last season:
Played 31, Won 13, Drew 5, Lost 13

That is abysmal given the squad he has
Even some of the games we've won have been iffy
It's not great but there are positive signs. It does need a few tweaks and maybe some personnel changes at the back.
I'd still give him the chance to make those changes. He should have at least till the end of the season.

What if you also take out the games where we had no cb's fit?
And some of the games we've lost have been iffy, it balances out.

If you look at the games Romero and VdV played together in that spell, I think it's:
Played 18
Won 7
Drew 4
Lost 7
For 33
Against 32
It's not much better. I could look at one or other or include Dragusin but that's with our first choice pair.
Ange certainly deserves time and you have to ask would anyone do much better but IMO, he won't get us challenging. That's a very good sample size and the pattern is clear.

It’s not a sample size
It’s scarily reactionary
You can’t continue one seasons results into the other unless a manager has had time… like ETH for example, but he has a trophy
You did, credit where it’s due, make your calls on Ange ball last year when we were on the great run.
But I just can’t fathom how people can just look at what they are seeing on the pitch and not see that the issues are not the system as much as it’s individuals failing at basics… again

Why?
Bissouma was our best midfielder imo
We didn’t concede the goals because of him…
MOTD nailed it last night. Can’t believe I’ve just said that but they highlight the issues so well
Bissouma has played well the last two games but he has been very inconsistent. Maybe he has turned a corner and will keep up the level of performance.
The issues are lack of concentration and discipline, and no leaders in the backline. So many times it's individual errors that are costing us. Playing the high backline it just takes one mistake...
