Ange has done a marvellous job. Lost kane and raised a dejected dressing room.

Thanks for at least acknowledging I'm right. Again.. .
Rather see Chelski and ManC go down, the BIG cheaters!!They will get another points penalty shortly - should see them go bust hopefully
On the mentality you are. No issue. Just a shame it's only ever the negatives but hey ho...

It's also strange because people were saying how Dier was the problem and we needed Romero back.Strange though as we started the season so well and not conceding , now we leak a lot!
They offer more than Man City for me.Just hope everton get relegated. Offer nothing to premier league.

Yes but some styles of play have distinct weaknesses. Anges works if you have clinical forwards that allow you to concede a few goals. If you're wasteful and going to concede that many chances then you are going to come unstuck. We rode our luck a hell of a lot at the start of the season but we were sticking the ball in the back of the net 3 4 or 5 times. Once son is back that may rectify the problem somewhat however right wing is the biggest issue as Johnson or kulusevski are not going to provide enough.Then we need to adapt amd quickly. But there is an argument that all teams have a style of play, so not quite sure it holds-up.
We just need to be better but 4th is proof of a lot more right and not combated than the opposite.
Don't blame Ange, or tactics, or high line, or Hoijberg, or Harry Winks(!) This one's on me...
When Ange brought on Dragusin on 88, I genuinely thought to myself; "thank fuck we finally have a player and an option to finally see a game out ..."
5 minutes later.... Boom!
I have a feeling Radu will see a few reds and concede a few pens in his Spurs career with that 'no nonsense style'
...we're not allowed to have a player like that without getting regularly punished for it...
Exhibit A: Romero!
But both goals were from set pieces, thing is we know a Dyche Everton live for set pieces - the team is still a bit naive if you ask me but then it’s not even a full season of Ange yet - how did Klopp and Pepp fare in there first seasons?It's also strange because people were saying how Dier was the problem and we needed Romero back.
I was never really happy with the defence, even when we were beating Man United 2-0 at home, because you could see another team could punish us.
I'm not joking when I say all of our games could've finished 2-2 this season and it is the most likely score.
If we get top 4 then for this season that's a success from where we were 100%. I still want to see our manager and players improve tactically and a lot of the same issues are arising right now keep happening week in week out which is a concern for me.Worked us out as in you can foul the keeper on a corner and block him out the way and score a goal?
Regardless of why some say , if Ange makes top 4 this season after losing Kane that’s a great season, yes I know the game is about trophies but let’s be honest most of us , myself included were thinking a top half finish would be successful!
Edit - Also Sarr or Bissouma help with more cover for the fullbacks
