Good call.
Fuck all going on right now as well
Yeah that Celtic side had a lot of heart, just not quite the finishing quality. At the moment our most clinical forward is Sonny. Maybe Richy with his Brazil experience can handle the big games, but we need another quality striker who relishes the big time, especially with Sonny at his age.
Starting to play counter attacking football to get results in CL was the start of the end of Pochs reign in Spurs. The development went downhill from there. I hope Ange does not make the same mistake.
So let’s say 30%.
Currently at just under 2ppg at 30%. That’s quite impressive.
If we get to say 80% what sort of PPG should we expect?
And at 100%?? Is that achievable? Or is Ange a perfectionist chasing the impossible.
An old director told me never to score employees 10/10 in a personal review as essential you are saying that person is perfect. Which he didn’t think was ever the case.
Keep them pushing for more was his mantra.
Not really. He realised you had to change tactics sometimes.
In the first half against Palace yesterday Chelsea had 80% possession, didn't have a single shot on goal and were 1-0 down.
We were seeing that at Spurs at times. Teams happily sit back and kept us at arms length. And it has happened this season to some degree.

And still just the one penalty.
An Ange documentary?

Chris Sutton 'guarantees' what Tottenham fans will be saying about Ange Postecoglou next season
The pundit thought the Tottenham faithful would soon be calling for Postecoglou to be more pragmatic to get his team over the line.
Sutton said: “I think we are at a stage where fans want absolutely everything now. They want the lot.
“I guarantee you next season there will be Tottenham fans under Postecoglou who will say that they need to be a bit more pragmatic. Wait and see.”
Of course, you aren’t going to find too many Spurs fans who will agree with that right now.
Although Postecoglou’s side do play with tactical freedom, not always thinking of their back line first, they still do have pragmatism in their displays.
Perhaps Sutton is suggesting that Tottenham fans will eventually be calling for Postecoglou to drop his high line in games.
However, a lesson should be learn
Chris Sutton thinks Tottenham fans will be frustrated with Ange Postecoglou’s football next season

Came across an old Brisbane Roar game with Ange in charge. 1-0 down with two minutes to go, a last minute winner playing out of the back of course. Amazing to see how far he's gone in the last 12 years.
We already have had this call for more pragmatism, so he's not wrong.
Chris Sutton is a bell end though.
Yes he is. He’s utterly wrong.
That's just a man saying something to say something.
Really?
So we haven't had fans on here calling for him to be more pragmatic to see out games?
Pretty sure I saw a few cunt offs occurring for exactly that.

So many things to love about those 5 mins
great to produce a free kick like that in added time of course
when it went in the camera focused on the grumpy Sydney mgr
Oh wait - that's Ange looking his usual grumpy self!! Not even a smile!!
at 1.23 the camera leaves the action - cos it's only with the Bris keeper, nothing to see here
except that's the start of the attack for the winner
very similar to Ole's last minute winner v Bayern in the CL final
Ange treats himself to a handshake with his assistant lol
love it!!
