People bemoan that managers get sacked too easily yet in April they give up on a manager they were calling the best thing since sliced bread in September. If anyone told Spurs fans they would be within a shout of a UCL spot without Kane they would've literally jumped for joy.

Agreed, Last year we were told we would be in a relegation battle without Kane, and we aren't in a relegation battle. Ange is doing well with the players he has, we just need players that postecoglou wants. Ange usually gets rid of the old guard and brings in fresh new players and lowers the average age substantially.

You can’t expect much from the fans whose main goal of existence is to screw over Arsenal. They’re literally willing to throw away their own ambition to stop Arsenal from winning the title. They don’t deserve Ange. If he can, he should approach Utd and see if Ratcliffs project is any good, and if it is, he should run and run fast.

I thought it was fairly obvious what Dier was saying while watching the video, but the quotes are less easy to read. The conversation between Neville and Dier was initially focusing on tactics given in a lecture type situation. Dier was saying that Ange doesn’t do that, as opposed to Conte. Dier didn't explicitly say it, but he was implying that they do indeed work on gameplans and tactics but through the process of drilling. The problem was that in trying to distinguish the two types, he inadvertently downplayed the strategic component of the drilling process. It would be helpful to have two different names for these two types of tactical work. The lecture-type could be called "explicit tactical work" and the drilling-type could be called "embodied tactical work".

Yes, people also missed that Eric said if he was to become a manager he would follow Postecoglou’s style. So the media used his comment as a stick to beat Postecoglou with, but actually the player was saying I would prefer to emulate Postecoglou. Postecoglou obviously didn’t like it because he’s doing a good job, but being beaten by the stick.

The simple solution to making everyone appear listened to is for both John and JJ to wear screens on their forheads that show their work. Time will tell if the Athletic have the stones to push the envelope in this way, or if they will remain cowards.

I am a committed Ange fan since his days coaching in Oz, I am biased no doubt. But he has exceeded expectations for season 1, another window and pre season and its going to be a delight to watch with results to match. Just hope the % of fans unhappy look at the big picture- he hasnt built his squad yet and his current group arent playing exactly to his style yet.

For me it's simple, if you make attack your priority, score tons of goals and don't miss chances. And you gotta spend for that. Otherwise, no point just having the possession without conversion

Please do more content on Barça 🙏🙏 our tactical situation is pretty interesting rn let alone our potential transfers this summer

Can someone please explain why Son isn't appropriate for Postecoglou at LW He has reasonably good take-on stats and has a very good shot - has been a world class player for a long time Surely they could bring in a backup/competition for Richarlison and keep Son at LW?

@justv88

11 күн бұрын

i think its mainly because the left wingers in angeball are meant to hug the touchline and the further away from goal u place your most clinical player the less chances they have at scoring. but he has played on the left wing more as an inside forward. it just means u have to send your LB or LCM out to hold the width which could lead to players getting caught out in a switch of possession or something like that, which despite vdv's pace is not ideal for them to be conceding massive chances

@AdityaSingh7

11 күн бұрын

Because he can't (or doesn't) takes his man on. He might be able to do it once or twice in a game but Postecoglou's system demands people like Vinicius, Nico Williams, who'll do it consistently. Son can't operate in tight areas. It might work this season because Spurs aren't a finished product yet. But Spurs want to be a possession-based system, which will give him lesser space. He worked really well with Kane because it created space for him. And obviously under Jose and Conte, he got lot of space on counters.

@justinevans3236

Son isn't world class though, he's still pretty quick and finishes with both feet bit that's it. His G/A has dropped since Kane who used to drop deep and supply assists for Son. If he was world class he would've been at a bigger club already, he's never won a trophy. Kane is but Son isn't.

​@justv88 I feel he could play touchline hugging, mainly due to how good his left and right feet are, it means he can generate output whichever way he goes. And if a team allows space he always had the threat of scoring, since even werner will end up in goal scoring positions nearly every game, those chances will come for son.

@@mainaccount8293 cant remeber what game it was (it was a Spurs home game, maybe it was Burnley or Brentford for Johnson's goal), Son went to the byline and scored the typical Postecoleu system goal of crossing low across the 6 yard box for the opposite winger. I'd rather see Spurs buy a striker in the summer and have Son as an option on the left. I think he could do that role.Werner and Johnson have both managed decent numbers this season and that's I think because they suit the system quite well

Always top quality analysis plus I now know Joe is paying attention.

Ange can take spurs to new heights, COYS🙌🙌

With Bergvall confirmed for the summer and lots of good academy players, I don't think it's that necessary to go hunting for young prospects on the cheap -- they're already here. A Nico Williams type seems more sensible

I remember Ossie tried a similar system a few years ago, that didn't go down too well, in fact he was shown the door after a few games . if we go on a losing run, I think Ange will depart. the PL managers quickly sort out how to beat this system as it never changes week to week come what may.

ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP BBY!! COYS!!!

Pre season and with not being Europe so hopefully not many injuries we’d he fresh and felt we’d be top 3 with Kane and if he left top 5 maybe sneak 4th - if I’d have known amount of injuries especially defence I’d have said mid table - was at game yesterday and Saka goal was like a replay of pre goals conceded and it’s due to our midfield being so inconsistent whoever comes on plays well and force themselves into starting line up then poor when start - I think we’ll challenge next year and be 6 or 7 outgoings and as many coming in that fit ange system better - plus his first season always inconsistent like this and 2nd 3rd much stronger

I think one aspect of Newcastle's approach to the Spurs game that hasn't really been mentioned, is the constant fouling. As mentioned, the transition between the high-press, super aggressive start and the fall back to a low-block tactic is somewhat enabled by breaking rhythm in tactical fouling. 14 fouls and 0 yellow cards really was a boon to Newcastle, as it allowed them to continue this physical aggression - something not afforded to Spurs with their 12 fouls and 4 cards.

“is that a good ending?” 😂

To touch on the comment Joe addressed, I feel like many fans may have forgotten how well Joe runs the podcasts & videos & narrations due to the little stint of randomness & going off on wild tangents that was happening for a while lol & I can imagine any new fans that came on during that time must feel like he has no sort of control & now he’s dialing back in to show how great he is at it.

I'm glad Joe is concentrating now

My head says we will lose about 5:0 tomorrow, but if we can score the first goal, maybe we can sneak a win. A big if though given our current form against theirs.

A video on Arne Slot?

I thought the thumbnail was a before and after picture of Ange.

Excellent work! It's the transfers that will take us higher for sure. Can't wait to see it!

I'd love it if they said Sangare as the midfield replacement 😅

A lot of our issues have stemmed from Bissouma no longer beating the press with his dribbling. Just doesnt dribble anymore, no idea why

But Ange has already gotten more out of the players than Conte did - the X factor isn’t a question. Spend some time on the work he did at Japan or Celtic and you will see how his strategy adjusts and tweaks - but the philosophy doesn’t. That’s how Plan A is done better

Not a spurs fan but here are my two cents. Ange is an ideologue about a certain way of football. This is part of the reason he speaks so well and passionately about the game, he believes there is a correct way to go about it. This is a double-edged sword. On one hand you have beautiful and exciting attacking football, but it also means he will not learn from his mistakes, nor does he want to. I believe in the world of control freak managers (pep, arteta) and teams using every marginal gain to their advantage (Brentford, Brighton) this will not see long term success. Will you have an exciting cup run and get a trophy? Possibly. Will you ever win the league? I don't think so. It depends what Spurs want out of it.

With conte from period jan to may we were only couple points off Man City - but then obviously fell apart - but also every player was an 8 or 9 out of 10 which isn’t sustainable and you need players when not in form still put in a 6/7 out of 19 as opposed to a 3/4 which is what we do and what think ange id changing and be a lot if incoming and outgoing of players this window

Some of the key players have rapidly lost their brilliance, confidence and teamwork after their injuries. That’s why.

Joe & Alex & Seb & JJ

Every one of these videos ends with Joe saying something like "Jon, what do you think will happen?" which is followed with the most non-committal answer imaginable.

20:00 JJ Bull reveals that Ange Postecoglou is secretly Mauricio Pochettino and the Chelsea manager is just Graham Potter with a mask. It all makes sense now!

SpursY under Ange peaked in October, top of the league...I'm afraid it wont happen again, the opposition managers know how to combat Plan A(NGE) and know theres no Plan B that will come on the day.

Using Newcastle at home as a barometer for how a manager had done, in my opinion, is bad considering how volatile Newcastle has been as well as Newcastle knowing exactly how to deal with Spurs

I think the Fullbacks get caught a little too far forward sometimes. Wheras his celtic Fullbacks were more Conservative with going forward

Now if you could just do this once a week that would be great 👍

Well if they get Europa league spurs could go as far as Kazakhstan

The consistent feature in this mess of ours is the chairman, Mr Daniel Levy

I think you’re underselling what Ange has done this season - losing Harry Kane and bringing in several players in their first year of the premier league, completely changing the style of play and improving their position from 8th to 5th? Take that every day of the week. Van de Ven and Vicario have both been outstanding, and no one had heard of them before. Ange finds talent he knows he can work with. Once he’s had a couple more transfer windows to shape his squad then I’m excited to see where he is.

i really don't like these narratives where managers are characterized as the chess player, while the footballers are treated as chess pieces. the game at the highest level is still decided by player talent and 1v1's. there's always some next big tactical innovator that the media hypes up just for them to burn out in a couple of seasons. meanwhile carlo anchilotti has been at the top for decades being a high level man manager and a pragmatic tactician that just looks to enable the talent in the squad.
