Postecoglou at Spurs

[LoyalRanger_72]

Spurs started this season well and he was a bit of an unknown quantity for the first while down there. Ever since about New Year, Spurs form is the definition of mid table and defensively only Sheffield United who are an absolutely pathetic excuse of a Premier League side have conceded more goals than Tottenham. I think a few managers down there have now realised that he’s a one trick pony like Bielsa was and now he’s on a hiding to nothing. Eddie Howe tactically obliterated him a few weeks back beating them 4-0 and in the first half on Sunday, Arsenal destroyed them. If it wasn’t for Raya selling the jerseys second half, Arsenal would’ve saw it out without breaking sweat. It’s all well and good playing that type of football against Livingston and Motherwell without really having to adapt but in Europe where he got found out at Celtic off teams like Bodo/Glimt and down there is a totally different ball game. You need adaptability and actual knowledge on tactics in the English Premier League, he’s just gun ho. Wouldn’t be stunned if Levy sacks the gravy guzzler mid way through next season.

 

[Whitelodge]

I don’t care

 

[Cwoodloyal]

Angeball is burst.

 

[Noddy]

I've got a mate who is Tottenham daft and he says the natives are definitely getting restless. If he has a bad start to next season, he'll be off.

 

[Est1872]

He's getting it tight from all corners today.

TalkSport right now 'Has Ange been found out'.

O'Hara: "This ain't Celtic. You can't only have one way of playing against the top teams".

Who would've seen this coming?

 

[BigBuff]

I agree, I'm surprised he's got this long without being found out.

I thought he'd struggle after a good start and not see out the season, think his press conferences are showing he's feeling pressure now.

 

[Noddy]

I don’t care

Thanks for taking the time to tell us.

 

[isawthat]

Was great to see him raging at his players last night, I thought he was supposed to be Mr Cool.

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

I don’t care

Ain’t you staunch!

 

[MaxMK]

His mate patter is absolute cringe. It’s now almost every third word. He’s an arrogant, fat bast ard. Not as good as he thinks he is.

 

[BigBuff]

I've got a mate who is Tottenham daft and he says the natives are definitely getting restless. If he has a bad start to next season, he'll be off.

Is he based down there? A boy I know lives down there doesn't pay attention to up here and was buzzing in the summer and I'd said he will get found out quickly and he seemed shocked, he thought he was getting the new pep.

 

[Henry Hill]

Doesn't like being challenged in interviews does he, not that it ever happened in Scotland
Only has one tactic, again it worked in Scotland (not so much in Europe)

No, he lives up here, but is an ex season ticket holder at Tottenham. They haven't beat West Ham, Chelsea or Arsenal this season, arguably their six biggest games of the season.

 

[Ballymena]

Scum fans had him nailed on that Spurs was a stepping stone to bigger things. Hope he ends up on a Kamikaze back to Japan

 

[muttley]

I thought he would have been found out a lot earlier than this, tbh.

Up here, he sent his teams out to demolish the opposition in the first 45 minutes.

It doesn't quite work like that down in England.

 

[Tom Forsyth's stud]

Imagine having a £billion stadium and hiring a manager based on how he does in Scotland
He was found out by European teams straight away, you'd think Spurs would have paid more attention to that.

 

[Kuznetsov's Curly Hair]

I agree, I'm surprised he's got this long without being found out.

Is he back to looking at the ground in his press conferences?

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

I thought he would’ve been sacked by Christmas.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t end up back at the bheasts.

 

[ssblue]

Be a laugh if he takes points of City and hands Arsenal the league.

 

[RabSpackman]

All the, “mate..” chat in the interviews is being replaced with a scowl towards anyone who dare ask him a remotely interesting question.

 

[BigBuff]

No, he lives up here, but is an ex season ticket holder at Tottenham. They haven't beat West Ham, Chelsea or Arsenal this season, arguably their six biggest games of the season.

The Chelsea results are shocking especially the first game, the boy I know I only see once a year and I said to him I'll see him this summer and I'll bet he doesn't think Ange is the great he thought he was getting.

It annoys me how much we let him away with it up here and gave him an easy run, Gerrard would have got him sacked if he stayed that season.

 

[Vony Tidmar]

He will end up back at celtic

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

Be a laugh if he takes points of City and hands Arsenal the league.

It would be such a Spursy thing to do but… I think City and Pep will obliterate them the way Arsenal did in the first half on Sunday

 

[grinandbearit]

Pity we couldn't find him out

 

[BigBuff]

Is he back to looking at the ground in his press conferences?

Well he's looking down at his gut if that's what you mean and calling everyone mate and being a crabit bastard.

 

[The Sultan]

Happened plenty of times in Scotland and he treated the media with the disdain our managers should also always do.

 

[Ray Von]

The media down there might just stop fawning over him because of his funny accent and the fact he says mate after every sentence, and start turning on him.

 

[The Sultan]

Started well but losing your main goal scorer and dealing with injuries was always going to take its toll. He’ll be given until Christmas next season and if Spurs are still shite he’ll be gone.

I think the main concern for a lot of Spurs fans is not even the results but the style of football drying up.

 

[148bear]

I think this is a cert at somepoint,Rodgers moves on fat boy goes back to the bheasts.

 

[VGM]

Taking my dislike of the big fat %^*& out of the equation, what exactly are Spurs meant to achieve that’s much better than fifth in the league?

 

[Simply a Bear]

City are unstoppable at the business end of the season. As much as I'd like to see Arsenal win the league, I just can't see City slipping up.

 

[Withambear]

Doesn’t have a plan b and same old tactics,


Up against much fitter teams with better quality players and managers who are tactically astute

Always knew he would be found out for the one trick pony he is

 

[mdingwall]

I really don't know where some of our punters get the deep down hate for the guy. Did a job and moved onto a better one and didn't pander to the Greatest Club In The World shite.

 

[Viatrophy]

That’s what I think as well. They are fucking Spurs.
I like to have a look at their forum and some of them were saying he can’t handle a big club like Spurs, they really are fucking deluded. Without the EPL money spurs would be a nothing club.

 

[Bilel Mohsni]

He will end up back at celtic

I hope not. He's clearly got limitations when theres more of a challenge or even playing field but he's tailor made for a team in their situation (or ours)

 

[Solmask]

Is he back to looking at the ground in his press conferences?

Yes he is and the one he did after last night's game was particularly feisty.

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

I really don't know where some of our punters get the deep down hate for the guy. Did a job and moved onto a better one and didn't pander to the Greatest Club In The World shite.

He only pandered about referees like the rest of the maniacs do after the Goldson handball incident!

 

[calderbear]

Happened plenty of times in Scotland and he treated the media with the disdain our managers should also always do.

Ange looks the reporter straight in the feet and mumbles some unintelligible retort.
That's not what I want from a Rangers manager.

 

[IsaacClarke]

He has 1 way of playing and it'll work when you have Celtic's budget against the likes of Ross County and St Mirren, doesn't work when even midtable managers down south are still very, very good.

Just shows if we had our act together he would have cracked under the pressure. In saying that I still maintain that if the winter break wasn't brought forward and our game against them rescheduled, conveniently to when it suited them, Gio would have won the league that year and things would have been very different.

 

[LoyalRanger_72]

Taking my dislike of the big fat %^*& out of the equation, what exactly are Spurs meant to achieve that’s much better than fifth in the league?

I think with the start they had and the fact they had no Europe this season, top 4 was a realistic achievement but because of their form since January, it’s not happening. Like I said in the original post, mid table form and only Sheffield United have conceded more than Spurs.

 

[DBallZ]

Regardless of which club tie he's wearing, it's very easy to dislike him based on his patter and mannerisms only.

 

[IsaacClarke]

Really? I'm the opposite with him, he seems a very decent guy.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

They finished 8th on 60 points last season. Currently sitting 5th, with 60 points accrued and 4 games to go. Probably unlikely that they will drop further. Fair to say they've had a better season than last but, given they had a very good start, its all petered out a bit.

Summer transfer market will dictate whether he sees through next season.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Apart from being tactically naive, you’ve got a manager who demands peak physical condition in order to outrun and outwork your opponents, all while being unable to stay in shape himself.

 

[Comet]

The drastic fall off has been good viewing.

Personally from what I've seen, I don't think they have a quality anchor in midfield and rubbish wingers.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Was great to see him raging at his players last night, I thought he was supposed to be Mr Cool.

I hope he looked them in the eye when in mid rage.

And what is it with some on here referring to him by his first name?

 

[TheBlueLizard]

He will crash and burn next season Brenda will chuck it for Saudi and Ange will be back at the pedodome.

Dug his own grave with two manager of the month awards and being in first

 

[Burgh-Ger]

Sitting 5th and ahead of Man Utd, Newcastle and Chelsea.

Villa are probably the shock team this season but I think Spurs are exactly where they should be or even slightly ahead.

In short - I don’t think he’s done a bad job and will 100% get next season (unless he has a terrible start)

I'd rather Brenda in for the long haul than Ange.
