    Ange in or out?

    Or is Parker more of an Ange that has a tactical system that is sub-optimal for the PL? It's probably the case that Parker has to change things around for the PL. Instead of keeping a clean sheet and then getting a draw or win, they might find themselves the team chasing games like a lot of...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I've already had my say in recent days. I genuinely think that if Ange and his coaches find the right balance between when to play offside and when to let his defenders use their smarts and mark / pick up players / pivot etc then we would see a massive difference in our defensive stats. Lose...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    So who runs the comms at the club. Anthony Marshall (https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-marshall-93843043/?originalSubdomain=uk) Where does he report? Donna Cullen (https://businessoffootball.live.ft.com/agenda/speakers/3228850) So what if Munn is being denied public engagements by these two...

    Ange in or out?

    Yeah, a little further above I was in positive Ange mode (oh yes I was) and felt that so much of our defensive deficiencies were down to the risk and reward offside dependency. I've done nothing but focus on it in recent months and just feel that if he let defenders defend more naturally, this...

    Ange in or out?

    I always have an irrational beef with Parker. He should have been a Spurs legend as a self confessed Spurs supporter. He took the money 3 times in his playing career over pulling on our colours. Then as a late career move he joined 'Arry and had a decent first season. He was then pretty...

    Ange in or out?

    I probably need to watch more. I've not seen better defensive attributes from Spence over Porro yet. In fact, I've seen Spence with some horrible defending at full-back. Way too casual.

    Ange in or out?

    I'm sure from your 25 years of corporate experience in companies bigger than THFC, you seen plenty of older guys re-invent themselves. I have. My point is that they actually need to want to in the first place. That's the big question mark on Ange in my mind. Does he? If he does then those...

    Ange in or out?

    I'm still a subscriber that if Ange could get past himself and address his defensive tactics he could still be a good Spurs manager. It is mostly to do with 3 things: The offside line - Ange has massively over-rotated on his reliance on the "line" rather than let defenders follow runners, mark...

    Conte's first choice was Perisic who got slaughtered in that wing back position in the PL. I'll say no more.

    Ange in or out?

    Yes, I was reacting to the opposite when people want to find reasons to sack Munn for the sake of it.

    Mathys Tel

    I hope he is interested. I have an instinct that Tel will be a fantastic long term signing. I think he is one of those that will always be involved in the key match situations. He'll always score and assist unlike some of these players, even though he will fluff his lines as well. Reminds me a...

    Ange in or out?

    This confuses me. Why would Munn and his team communicate private information on medical matters publicly? We know the medical team and process has been reviewed and we saw the job reqs on LinkedIn. Right now we look like we're in great shape with the current fitness of the squad. Perhaps at...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    What you say could be true, but it can surely only be you working on instinct. Unlike Ange where the proof is demonstrable across almost 100 games of football on live TV and twice as many interviews, we don't really know whether Munn is great or not. Based on the point I picked on above, I have...

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    From memory, he took our wage bill up by £35m in the CL season and it stayed there. It was the stockpiling of players that meant he spent the rest of his transfer budget on salaries. Him and Levy were a car crash in that respect. Our 1st team squad could have been so much better if we had shorn...

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    OK, I just remember conversation at the time that Spurs had been tracking the Sheff Utd boys prior to Harry joining. Their signings aren't credit to Harry. It's credit to our recruitment team even though it was in Harry's tenure. I remembered it slightly wrong. To be clear, there was nothing...

    Ange in or out?

    Let's be honest though. Who would have a problem with Ange if we did the basics at the back right and stopped shipping goals? The top 6 range after 33 games is 27-44 goals conceded. We're at 51. The equivalent goals scored range is 58-75 but 5 of those teams are in a 58-64 range, with only...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    Playing against Spurs is like playing against an erratic fast bowler at cricket. You know most of the game will be tough but every over that bad ball will come and you can smash it for four. You just need to defend well yourself and you'll get your ton and win the game.

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    But do we? We know the obvious things like the injury crisis, fatigue and perhaps the size and experience of the squad. They are the very "clear and obvious" to quote a very popular football phrase. Does someone at the club see the more subtle stuff though? Second goal, holding a line in...

    The case for the defence

    It's what I said earlier. Romero holds a line, waits for their wide player to cross the ball and as he does steps forwards to play Wood offside. That is the instruction from the training ground and is what we do every time. For Argentina, Romero would drop in and mark Wood and do what it takes...
