Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

[glorygloryeze]

He took 85 minutes
And got lucky in the end
we had goals disallowed for very marginal calls (right ones) and a poor miss that would have put the game our way
Poch and his coaches didn’t have a clue his to beat that high line and a defence missing most of its players
What’ he should have done was get a player to feign an injury and do a reset. The fact they were constantly offside showed his dumb they were although that could have been the players just blindly okaying the same way

That was all true. However, we eventually played into their hands with the constant playing of the high line: pace was all they had at their disposal, plus we were missing two of our fastest defenders but still carried on playing the high line.

They won in the end because of Ange's brave/naive stubbornness, and as you say, not really because Poch's acumen.

However, the return game at the bridge the following April, bleep me....

No
We were tired because we had 9 Men and that also meant we had lost VDV, Romero and Destiny
That lien would have been fine potentially with those guys even with 9 men
We don’t know
They won because they had extra men
Like we did vs Liverpool
Yet when we beat pool it was lucky and this was Ange ball failings
Teams who lose players early rarely get a result
Teams with 9 men..,, I dint think they ever get a result
So doing something that completely fudged up the opposition and also me at we created chances almost worked
Same as pool having 5 CBS in against us almost did
But neither did because of numbers in reality

That’s not exactly how I remember it. And at that time I was fully behind Ange. In fact it took until Leister this year before I saw he wasn’t the one.

Poch didn’t adapt to Ange’s tactics for a long time in that game but when they did it showed, it may have taken till the 85th minute for them To score (I don’t remember) but before they scored the tide had already very much turned.

Anyway question for you. Do you think Ange is a better manger than Poch?

We signed him from Athletico. And his loan to Soton was under Koeman, after Poch had come to us

In fairness, we did stop Poch from getting Mane and Schneiderlin from Soton...

That's right he did (totally forgot about that), he also wanted Moutinho from Porto. I believe that deal was so close to completion that there exists (in somke dark corner) photos of Moutinho in a Spurs shirt from the old training ground. Alas, away it went...
