the johnson signing is probably what he would of wanted at celtic. would probably look world class against partick thistle and co.
him buying counter attacking forwards for his possession based system is extremely worrying. johnson and son are what you bring on when youre 2 up and the other side have to show a pair of bollox and come out.
I've watched the games and I understand the concerns. However, I've been following Ange since his Brisbane Roar days. This is part of the process. Tottenham will come good.
Pep won the EPL in his second season but it is hard for any club to compare to them from a financial point of view.
Klopp won the EPL in his 5th season.
Arteta has been at Woolwich since 2019 and has not won the EPL.
With all due respect, the Premier League is the toughest league in the world. Each week you're competing against world class managers, Ange's experience in Australia or the pub league north of the border is simply not relevant.
Klopp had won the Bundesliga twice and reached the CL final with Dortmund. He was widely regarded as one of the best managers on the planet when he took charge at Liverpool. He also inherited a garbage squad and took them to two finals in his first season.
I fail to see what similarities Ange shares with Klopp.
Outside of a thumbs up/down (ie final approval) there is a tonne of work that goes in to identifying (which includes complying with rules, quotas etc.), scouting and getting player to commit to terms before Ange gives his approval.
So when I hear shit like "I don't know what Ange saw in Johnson", there is just a shit-tonne of context being left on the table.
Well here are a few more words for consideration:
Micky Van De Ven
Maddison
Vicario
Udogie
Pape Sarr
Pedro Porro
Gio Lo Celso
Dragusin
There's no denying we miss Kane but the team is considerably more balanced this season than the last few years. Look at the squad Conte had when he joined and tell me this one isn't levels above.
And the back 5 is top drawer, way too good to be conceding as many goals as we are. If Kane were in our team right now he wouldn't be making us any tighter at the back.
It was widely reported that Brennan was Ange's number 1 pick.
I think it was pretty obvious to most who'd seen him at Forest that Brennan was an inside forward, best on the transition. Hence why counter attacking teams like Brentford wanted him so badly.
Never, ever a touchline winger for a possession based team.
Anyone worth their salt could see that Brennan Johnson was not the answer. Cant believe we blew 47m on him to boot. Then we bring in Timo Werner. TBF he has done ok, but if thats what we are about I give up.
Not relevant? It is all football at the end of the day.
Good point. Actually my mates Dad once coached the local under 9s team to an unbeaten season, maybe Spurs should hire him next? I mean it's all football at the end of the day.
Fair point this
