    Ange in or out?

    I think Ange has benefited from the recent history with our coaches. He is in because we still have a chance of a trophy (following criticism of Mourinho being dismissed before a final), because we have dismissed several after a short tenure (esp. Nuno) and because of the first 10 games. His...

    Ange in or out?

    I have never been so depressed about how we play. I have been through the relegation in the 70s, the Sugar era and the Mourinho era/Conte negativity but this is something else. A total lack of control and organisation from the midfield on back. We are so easy to play against that virtually any...

    ***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur v LiVARpool - Sunday April 27th 4.30pm

    I just do not understand how you can keep setting your team up like Ange does. You have a large enough sample size to know it doesn’t work. Especially against Liverpool. We know he can change, as in the Brentford game and Frankfurt away. But no, let’s put our head in the noose again! It seems...

    Ange in or out?

    Ossie Ardiles must be cursing his luck. His team with the Fantastic Five was so exciting upfront. and had no defense. Yet he got nowhere near as long as Ange and he was a genuine Spurs legend! As I noted elsewhere, the players must be demoralized when Ange tells them he wants to play his way...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers ***

    As a matter of interest, how does he have Birmingham playing? Having had a close up look at Ange and his methods, is he replicating it? Or did he go another way because he learnt it is unsustainable?

    Ange in or out?

    It is dispiriting for the fans, but I can’t imagine how bad it must be for the players. They are playing in a system that they know is flawed. They know, because it has happened repeatedly, that they can dominate games but one mistake anywhere on the pitch that concedes possession is likely to...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers ***

    In the end, when you play our way, errors get more severely punished because there is a lack of cover. Wolves have five back and at times we have 2. And Romero is far from a perfect defender.

    Ange in or out?

    And looking at Celtic's history over the past few years, with one losing season, they have had 5 other years of ridiculous results in the Premiership -- particularly notable is the gap from the third placed team which is usually 20+ points. Ange's one season had them as being a higher scorer...

    Ange in or out?

    The absence of control when we are ahead has dogged us throughout Ange's time. And I think we are just poor as a defensive unit. Ball watching and a general failure to pick up runners has led to great chances for our opponents. My son has been highlighting for me how we leave open the players at...

    Ange in or out?

    Apparently the last time we have lost 16 of our opening 30 games was in the relegation year of 1977. Hopefully, we will bounce back with a current generation of the calibre of Hoddle, Ardiles etc, and a couple of FA Cups!

    The case for the defence

    Not for the first time this season, one must ask who is Romero marking? If he was marking Jackson, maybe VDV could mark the goalscorer rather than leave Udogie with two to mark.

    Cristian Romero

    It is really shocking watching him totally ignore the positioning of opposing players as the ball sails over his head and onto theirs. Rudimentary stuff, but he did it at the start of the season (Leicester) and did it tonight.

    *** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v AZ - 6.3.25 ***

    Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. Another in a long string of underwhelming displays. If Ange can't get a tune out of us now and in a knock out round where this is our priority, when can he? Really had an end of days feel about it.

    *** OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v AZ - 6.3.25 ***

    Can be no excuse for that tepid showing. Making AZ look like a top team while Arsenal score 7 against PSV. We seem so one dimensional in Ange's system. And can someone explain to me why Tel stopped near the end when we had a break (after the goalmouth scramble)?

    Ange in or out?

    My previously expressed concern about our defensive structure remains. As the injury crisis eases, it was noticeable that we are back to the two at the back, full backs up the field formation. It continues to give our opponent great opportunities when we lose the ball. Ipswich had great chances...

    I think it can give a team unpredictability

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Rangers ** Thursday 12 December 2024.

    Our inability to maintain any control at any time is our undoing. Ange's chaos theory is, well, chaotic and not in a good way.

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Rangers ** Thursday 12 December 2024.

    Two poor sides. Astronomical amount of misplaced passes. Very little quality. Our tackling is often poor --- knife through butter when anyone dribbles at us. Hard to find bright spots or signs of recovery. As others note, if Forster is our best performer, that says it all.

    Ange in or out?

    I have moved into the out camp as I just cannot get passed the absence of a structure to our play to prevent all of our opponents from getting excellent chances. One can only conclude that Ange believes that we can outscore our opponents because we almost always concede. As I noted elsewhere, if...

    The case for the defence

    Answering my own question, from an article in 2022 after a title win: MISERLY DEFENCE No side has scored more than two goals against Celtic in any one league game this term. Aside from the 20 clean sheets, there have been 14 single-goal efforts against the Hoops and only four two-goal games by...
