What’s laughable is that there are so many Spurs fans who think our defence is the best in the league & they wouldn’t swap any of our players for any others & yet, we have now conceded twice as many goals as Woolwich. Totally delusional
The system is a factor, not individuals. Swap their defence for ours and they’d struggle in this.
 
Kulu is world class when he is on form I'll have you know

:memelol:
So was Lucas Moura.

Teams are going to do the same to us. Camp into their half and hit us on the counter. I don't know why Ange doesn't work around this. I know he wants us to specialise his way. But obviously it's being pressed out of effectiveness and we still don't change. No good.
I don't know why Ange doesn't work around this
He doesn't work around it because he's never had to. He's only ever managed in 4th rate leagues, the best league he managed, he was managing the best team playing against the likes of Dunfermline, of course he never had to fucking work around anything!

//but isnt Ange Ball scoring more than you concede..?
 
The way we play I worry more about the dippers. That could be carnage.
Both will batter us if Ange doesn't move Maddison away from the middle.

Play any 3 of Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Sarr, Bentancur in the middle and at least try and regain some control in the middle and not look like a league 2 team wide fucking open.
 
From BBC:

I'm pretty sure that was said about both Fulham, Brighton and Everton when we played them... What is it about us that simply brings out the best in everyone else??

Weak midfield and instead of playing a 4, when you can, you stick rigidly despite the predictable nature of what's coming.

The answer.
 
Ange won't change HIS Philosophy..
risk versus reward. always risk if you dpn't score (more)
Well to Ange I say, good luck with that. It's added risk with a shit front line. Have you noticed how much we've conceed from lost balls in the OPPOSITION box. We are the easiest team to counterattack in the league. The courageous swashbuckling label we had at the beginning of the season where teams didn't no how to deal with it is gone, it's just plain stupid at this point. How can an attack always be the 50/50 of scoring or conceding down the other end. Anyways, we'll remain inconsistent at best with this approach.
