    Ange in or out?

    Yes, but like I said, the amount of noise re VDV (as example) being the cheap option (and Todibo didn't have the complication of going somewhere better) just gets forgotten the moment we actually saw VDV play. And then we resort to cherry picking to prove a point. Danso, Kinsky, Solanke...

    Cristian Romero

    Lets be clear, who the fudge would want to be a defender in an Ange team? Really trying not to keep banging on (and failing), but you are being hung out to dry every game. That as choice A, or B is go play for a manager that actually likes his team to defend (Simone), and loves a clean sheet...

    Ange in or out?

    Vic is a better GK than Raya, just like VDV is a better CB than Todibo, just like Bergvall will be a better midfielder than whoever was the "expensive alternative" that fans wanted, just like Deki (Juve reject) is the closest thing we have a elite level player in squad. Fan judgement of when the...

    Jamie Donley

    Yep, I could go for some mix of Bentancur, Bergvall & Deki being the midfielders pushed up DM role you and I deeply agree on, but will depend on next manager, unfortunately I could see the club going for a manager that does 3 at the back (pretty much all of our back line have played, could play...

    Jamie Donley

    Think the issue with moving Maddison out is we simply can't afford to replace him with another youngster. We will need to evaluate Donley, Phillips, Vuskovich, Yang, Moore at minimum to add to a side that already has too many players with 3 or less seasons in PL So do you sell and buy another...

    Richarlison

    But that's the issue, and part of where you and I have different views of player quality/evaluation - Is Richi a top level PL striker? no - Could you set up the team where it provided him more chances as a poacher in box (especially for headers) where he could get 15-18 a season? I genuinely...

    Mathys Tel

    I think the answer is both (Tel will be 45M) LW - Tel/Wilson (let them fight for starting position) - Son as backup, Moore on loan (no point him getting 5 or 10 games, look at Donley, Keeley, Vuskovich playing every game on loan) Son phases out by end of next season, you could bring back Moore...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    It depends on what the plan was. We were in a very toxic period at the club, the squad still was in the pending refresh stage and we probably needed a couple of years to reset before being able to challenge again. It that scenario - Bringing a manager that was first and foremost a decent human...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    The problem is Ange's system is incomplete - Creating overloads and position fluidity is not a new/unknown tactic and some very good managers use it The question becomes - What other tactic do you have offensively, e.g. overloads often create congestion in certain parts of the pitch, does...

    Ange in or out?

    Do you really believe, minus a few injuries (every team has some), or if we had dropped out a cup earlier, we would be 8th? because I don't, and I see zero data or any eye test that doesn't show me exactly what happened yesterday will happen everyday, i.e. mid level to poor teams (extremely...

    Ange in or out?

    The status quo at this club has been European football, being in the top 6, 15 out of last 19 seasons, not being out of top 8 since 2008. The outlier in all of your pitch is Ange. None of Poch, Conte, Jose, AVB, Sherwood, none of these guys finished outside the top 8. Somehow the thing you...

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

    Anyone !!!! anyone could do better

    Ange in or out?

    Genuinely, if this guy is manager at the start of next season (regardless of EL), I'm going to need to take a sabbatical from Spurs. Wtf is the point at this stage?

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    Clearly we are going to manage them (amongst certain other players) to ensure fit for semi. Issue is, it really doesn't matter, this system is a fudging mess and won't win games in the PL. Managers like Nuno (who actually counter naturally) are a nightmare for this system (if you can call it...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    @SpurMeUp is correct, I was there, the crowd went toxic on Nuno, was booing his subs, usual "you don't know what you are doing" Let me fix that -> it was reported that we went for 20 other managers Again, I even remember this board, no one saw the logic at the time of hiring a non-toxic...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    fans, lets not try to fudging duck the responsibility here - Some asshat sold the world on the "list" that the club had and Nuno was not on it - Then the fans fell for that hook line and sinker, and with our usual fudging delusion level of who is good/ot good enough for us, couldn't wait to...

    Goal has to be to kill the tie in first leg - Us at home, they are missing a few for that leg, we will rotate/protect players before We do not want to be going there looking for a result

    Yeah, it's been reported a few place we were looking at him as well

    Mathys Tel

    It's a balance (think you know) - Bergvall, Vuskovich are probably the ideal type of speculative youth buy - But you have to push out sometimes, Tel may not seem that far along, but he has played two and a half seasons for Bayern, 60 appearances with 12 goals for a 19 year old wide forward...
