    Ange in or out?

    I didn't actually read your Q properly. Most of the time on here I'm reading and replying in between juggling a mountain of work, a frazzled wife and feral kids!

    Ange in or out?

    You're 100% right on this. It's not Ange's fault he's Spurs head coach. It's not his fault that he's been allowed to continue until everyone's good will for this team is buried under a sea of deflation. It was a poor choice of appointment IMO due to the huge risks attached and it hasn't been a...

    Ange in or out?

    Do you think he can maintain a consistent level of performance even without injuries? Bearing in mind as well that Postecoglu himself says that injuries are just an accepted byproduct of the way he trains and plays. We lost 12 games last season in the league. Which is a high amount for a team...

    Ange in or out?

    Ok I'll answer the question: Tony Pullis for me. I've got a niggling need to see from how far out Porro can throw a ball into the opposition's penalty area...

    Ange in or out?

    1) Do you think someone with Ange's CV should have been anywhere near the shortlist for a club like THFC? 2) Even if you think the A to Q1 is "yeah, worth a punt", is it actually a surprise that having taken the punt, 18 months in, we look a total mess and are likely going to have our worst...

    Ange in or out?

    I think i simply seem to have hit a nerve. I didn't actually call him an amateur. I said that leaving our entire right flank completely open minute one away in a cup tie against a top 6 team was "amateur hour". That space was vacated by our first choice full back following tactical...

    I bet none of those coaches would have lost 19 games this season.

    Ange in or out?

    What career/experience? This is the thing. If you're managing Celtic, and you're playing Haggis McShaggers FC, guess what, you can leave your entire right flank free minute one and nothing bad will happen. And if it does, who cares? Because if they score, 9 times out of 10 you're going to score...

    Ange in or out?

    Bit bolded is key for me. You think back to most managers that have done well for us, there tends to be an immediate solid base built and it gets built on from there. Jol, Redknapp, Poch all came in after managers that struggled and the first thing they did was make us tough to beat. There...

    Ange in or out?

    I don't doubt a better number 6 would improve us, but I don't focus on that as much as some. I think where I'm going with this is that Ange seems to want the 3 midfielders to spread out laterally (i.e. across the width of the pitch) whereas most managers keep them more central but at different...

    Ange in or out?

    On some level, you've got to admire the pure faith that believes we are on the path to riches despite the utter sh**e that has been (mostly) served up over the past 18 months and the fact that the person in charge of it all doesn't have experience at this level of football. Hope I'm there for...

    Ange in or out?

    I,m sure he once played a 4-4-2 away at the death star and sat back and gave up possession, we got a point. Highlighting fact that he saw that trying to go toe-to-toe possession wise with an opponent superior at it in their own back yard was daft...

    Ange in or out?

    We don't need a manager that plays possession football. We need a manager that plays progressive football. There's a difference. Fergie's Man Utd were a team that relied on the counter. Not sitting back and counter, but a set traps high up the pitch and counter. Redknapp's Spurs were not really...

    Ange in or out?

    This a million times. If we have an off day, we lose. If the opposition are on one, we lose, if it's a bit of a chess match, we might draw, but often lose, if its a tight, scrappy game we might draw, might lose. If we are on our game and the opposition are a bit off, we will win and often win...

    Ange in or out?

    While it's a fairly obvious "hole" which i think contributes to our lack of shape, I'm unsure Ange believes in a holding midfielder. Seems to prefer playing Bentancur or Bissouma as the nominal deepest midfielder both of whom played most of their pre-Ange careers as an 8 (Bentancur) or even 10...
