As for winning something. You're out of your mind. Our squad isn't even capable of rotating full backs successfully. We aren't anywhere near winning stuff with what we've got right now.

Alot better positioned than in previous years though, I'd say

Do you know how long it took Klopp to win a trophy?
Too long for this forum to last before it implodes into a barren landscape of sweaty overweight men having non stop cunt offs

When Spurs fail to win this place is an absolute shit show full of angry little man children with nothing going on in their lives. Using this forum as a way to get their anger out. Which I suppose is better than putting one on the Mrs.

Can you imagine if Spurs actually won something?
 
My main concern is that Ange has said on multiple occasions that his teams play one way and one way only.

The issue is that everyone seems to have figured out how to blunt us and we’ve shown no semblance of a plan B.
Not true though I’m not sure what you call todays performance/,it was shite and there was nothing ange ball or entertaining about todays car crash no threat no purpose and precious little entertainment

Pretty much this.

Was a poor performance. Nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't Angeball, anything but. It was slow and laboured, zero energy, zero intent.

That's not being found out. That's players being off. Or worse, not capable.

We'll get through it
 
I think given the squad and the circumstances he's done a really good job and his philosophy is clear but it's fine to criticise him because he can be questioned especially over the last few matches, his subs have been a bit iffy for my liking.

I'd actually say the mood is quite reserved. I've seen it far worse here.

People are allowed to be frustrated. There are things wrong that are unquestionably failings from the ownership. It's also early days still with Ange. Mistakes will be made.

But he's not a novice manager learning the ropes, he's experienced and these are not shit players. Poor decisions are being made all over the shop. The frustration comes from us having seen all this before.

We were missing two important components but otherwise had 9/11 players from our probable best. It wasn't good enough.

Come on mate, no need to get personal! :levywtf:

I'm going to pretend your question isn't a hypothetical and say categorically - no. But if we did, this forum would be a place of serenity for at least 48-72 hours.

Totti

You are incredible
 
We're such a strange club. Under Conte, we try to play defensive football with crap defenders. Under Ange, we try to play all out attack with forwards, apart from Sonny, who aren't clinical or prolific scorers.

We have to back a manager at some point, it might as well be Ange. But I think Ange, to get that backing, is going to have to show more in the final 3rd of this season than he has shown in the middle third. I'm talking about backing from Levy more than the fans, but fans are included too.

When we were far worse though...

There's a difference between frustration and poor reactionary takes because we happened to lose a game of football, mostly come from the same old posters who usually pop up as a sort of "I told you so" or disappear when we win

No one said it would be smooth sailing in his first season. Celtic fans even told us and he's worshipped like a God up there.

They told us we'd get hamstring injuries. They said it'd get bumpy before it got good.

Man City lose 1 important component and can't win a single game...

It's not out of the realms of possibility to think there are key components to teams. One of ours is our specialist full backs...
 
How is he a traitor ffs!

He wasn't backed and then got sacked like all the other scapegoats before and after him. Who the fuck are we to decide his future employment options under such circumstances.

You need to grow the fuck up, mate
Theyre throw any genuine salt of the earth Spurs great under the bus just to save face about the fact that they worship the devil Levy. Even trying it with Kane now.

Embarrassing.

Exactly. 0 signings for one and a half years, crying out for investment to help his young, exhausted, over achieving squad. .......And they backed the property spiv making money off the back of his achievements.

It's actually quite bizarre when you think about it
 
All on Ange that.

We haven't played well since November.

You can't start Emerson/Davies and invert them making them two 10s. Absolutely pointless. He has to adapt and play to his players strength including playing Son in the middle.
100% spot on regarding the full-backs. Was my concern before the game.

You can't expect the likes of Davies/Emerson to do the jobs that Udogie/Porro do - they just don't have the abilities or attributes. Emerson in particular was shocking today in the final third - and I can't even really blame him as it's like asking Son to be a ball-tackling DM.

Ange should have tweaked the system a bit accordingly and he needs to show some flexibility or we need to get the personnel which allows him to consitently play his system.
 
Nuno got 3 months. Jose and Conte lasted 18 months each.

Sometimes it doesn't work out does it.

His stubbornness is a concern for me. As is the players seemingly running through walls in the first half of the season and now not doing enough.
That all led to long term success.

Let’s keep doing that.

Agree with that you have to cut your cloth accordingly.

Or hopefully put pressure on the bald cunt to free up money for better players than this.
 
Ill always maintain that the best type of Spurs manager is one that can be flexible and work with the players at his disposal whilst also being a genuine tactician and knowledgable of the game but a big enough character to demand respect.

Its why Redknapp and Poch were so successful. They werent dogmatic in their approach but set up a team to win whilst loosening the reigns and letting them play their own way in some respect. But they were also father figures and commanded respect.

ENTER BIG SEAN DYCHE
