So the same as conte but losing is different under an attacking manager somehow? I don't buy it klopp is an attacking manager but when they go down to 10 or 9 men he doesn't play kamikaze football does he. At that stage of the game continuing to play like that we got beat but it's OK it's fun to lose when you have 8 men up the pitch at 1-0 in the 89th minute. Pure naivety
But I was told that striker wouldn’t fit Postecoglou’s system.
Just curious, who do you think has improved as a player under Postecoglou?
Porro
Sarr
Son
Kulusevski
Bissouma
Then the rest is people he signed or Udogie
Why do so many FC forum members get so attached and obsessed with our managers?
I remember the Conte love-in. He could sleep with your wife and you’d still not accept anything negative said about him.
Same now with Flange. He’s never good enough for a big club like Spurs. It will end in tears.
Poch needs to come back home.

I can't tell if this is satire, if so fair enough.
But, you talk about getting obsessed with managers, yet end by asking for your ex to come home?
I'm not a Postecoglou fan but I can't overlook that when the team was healthy he banked a lot of points that will help see Spurs through until everyone's healthy again. The interesting thing to me is that his system isn't yet producing the volume of scoring opportunities it was advertised to. I think that's a function of it being early and not having the players he feels he needs to make the system work. Second time through the league I think we'll get more goals, but other teams will also have had time to get a book on Spurs and they won't always come easy. Long story short, I don't think he's a long term answer, but he's already a year ahead of schedule and the fans love him and his style. Nothing that happens in the short term is going to change that.
We need to get our verve back
Postecoglou is the opposite of what came before him and there's a great sense of relief that at least things are more positive. He did motivational speaking in Australia and knows how to say the right things that fans respond to, so that helps. There's no harm in people being happy so why not let fans enjoy this infatuation while it lasts.
Surprisingly thought he was a bit too cautious today. Almost worked but for the first time it felt like we were trying manage the game and minimize risk rather than win it.
Will be interesting to see what he does with more preparation time during the international break.
Feels injecting a surprise starter, one of the young CBs, GLC, maybe even Donley, Kulu at the 10, just something unexpected, could give us a little shot in the arm. Today’s side was just very predictable in a way I doubt Ange appreciates.

Kane was a world class playmaker as well as goalscorer the last few years. We were lucky we had a striker who did both rather than invest big money in a midfielder to feed the attack.
We were also lucky to have effectively a free run at Maddison for a good price. He is a great playmaker and filled that void in midfield.
Now we lose that creativity through injury on top of the issue of not actually replacing Kane's goals in the summer. I worry that we won't create enough chances for Son to score at the rate he has been up to now and more problematic that he is the only one I trust to have a chance to fall too.

I’ll be honest, I think Ange compromised with his lineup today.
That CM 3 was never going to work.

Now the guy's challenges start.
If you haven't got the players to play a system.....don't.
In the PL or top level football he is naive.
