He has. But he was far too slow here, that Werner sub needed to come more quickly. Yeah he missed the sitter but as soon as he came in we had someone who pinned them back and was able to get the ball in to the box repeatedly.

Poch was similar in that there was no Plan B if A wasn’t working and he was often slow with the Subs
BS.
Ange has explicitly said on a multitude of occasions that top 4 isn't his target.
Get your facts straight.

Interesting thread.
Not a single one of the replies thought we'd be near top four. And that was before Kane even left.
Third goal came from a corner won due to our highline. Even the Spurs commentator said there is a pattern here.
Pochettino explicitly said he was told to prioritise top 4 for financial gain over glory
Think the context of that matters, we'd just lost 3-1 to Brentford at home with a back line of Emerson, Sanchez, Lenglet and Davies with Forster in goal. Not that surprising people had pretty negative outlooks
I reckon not many of their opinions would have changed come the summer mate. Things were toxic up until Brentford away.
I don't think we can say for sure Postecoglou's system can win the Premier League or that it can't. Most of the elite coaches win with a combination of elite talent and a system that minimizes mistakes. Postecoglou's system comes at it the other way around in terms of putting the other side in a position that maximizes and exploits their mistakes and accepts risk. Risks will be negated through quick recovery and maximizing possession. It's a system that doesn't rely on great players, just sufficient numbers of very good ones. We are about where I would of thought we'd be in Year One. The question is simply how much additional growth we can expect each season as players get more repetition in the system. My guess is they will hit a plateau somewhere late in year two that still leaves Spurs short of competing for the top spot. But I think Postecoglou is calm from week to week because he believes he has it figured out and by Year three or four we'll challenge for the top spot. He could very well be right. So fans going from believing he's a genius one week and being exposed the next are missing the point. Postecoglou is calm because he firmly believes sticking to this system will work. Off what's happened so far I'd say he deserves the time to see if he's right.
Who gives a fuck about Top 4? Ange doesn't seem to think it's all that great either.
Obviously, Ange has made a great start and if you want him fired you are a moron. There is no way to sugar coat that. Unfortunately, we do have a lot of morons that comment very publicly about this club.
The issue with last night is not the morons though, it's with people that find last night as acceptable or no bog deal because of how well Ange has started.
If we are a serious club last night was exactly the type of shit that needs to be stamped out. The players Maddison, Bissouma, and maybe even Son need to be dropped for that stinker they put up. The younger players like Udogie, Johnson, Kulusevski and Sarr maybe get a pass but I'd have no issue with dropping anyone but Vocario, Romero, and Porro from that game.
I'm sorry, who thought last night was acceptable?
Bringing up the context of how well Amge has started is an attempt to justify it imo.
But if people are doing it to defend against the idea of sacking the manager they are wasting their time. You never argue with an idiot because they drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
Conte did call it right, we are used to this nonsense, the club cannot play under stress or pressured situations, as proven time and time again.
People have used the first 10 games as a way to justify yesterday's performance!? Where?
Yesterday was as far away from the intensity and play of those opening 10 games as humanly possible
I don't even mean the first 10 games. I mean Ange's first season overall. It's been levels better than Poch's first season.
You do talk some absolute bollocks!
‘Talking in riddles’?
I’d say his post-match press conference set out pretty clearly what his ambitions for the club were.
I love Vic, and wouldn't blame him for the first goal, but I have noticed he does sometimes get beaten by similar shots across him into the far post, so maybe his positioning is something he could work on in those situations?

Son could've scored, Maddison should have scored, Werner should have scored, Richarlison could've scored.
It wasn't about Fulham having some kind of elite physicality we couldn't deal with. We didn't take our chances, they took most of theirs and also got lucky with a couple.
You never need to Duncan Ferguson opposition centre halves to win a game. Had we taken ours and had some more fortune, these bullshit narratives wouldn't be happening.
Our biggest chances came mostly after subs when we were already 3-0 down and were naturally going to have a ‘flurry’ while Fulham sat in a bit.
Before that we were really struggling with them imo - particularly at the start of both halves. We were losing out in that midfield scrap which is such an important area for us because once you bypass there we have huge open spaces.
The narratives really aren’t bullshit. They’re exaggerated but we really struggled and were being repeatedly exposed at key points in this match. Of course we had our moments but look at how we came out in the first half at 1-0 down. They totally overwhelmed us and we didn’t recover at all until the score was already 3-0.
