    Think he'll be gone after this. Players aren't doing anywhere near enough running or pressing to get away with the way their set up.

    Eh? Wouldn't be surprised. They've been */inconsistent for 13 months.

    He came at us during the period we are a busted flush. Restored our pride and was idolised, got to speak to him a few times and he got celtic and the fans. It was a match made in heaven but as I said he like many players used us as a stepping stone. He * off the minute he got an EPL offer and will now struggle to get another job down there simply he traded everything he had here for cash * him now and * his agent never forget he lied to Desmond face about working his ticket.

    They need to stick with Ange, they have no leaders on the pitch and just go through the motions. It’s got to be a long term plan otherwise just continue to do nothing.

    Eh what?

    You seem shocked at the notion he won't be sacked because of this game.

    After arguing with the fans after the Bournemouth game, then chucking away another two goal lead to your rivals. The writing is on the wall.

    Its not just because of this game though. As I've said, they've been poor for a while. Too inconsistent, too ropey at the back, too many injuries. They leak goals for fun and constantly lose games from winning positions.

    This will likely be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

    They'll give him the Jan window and Ange will demand the exact type of player needed to play his style, then if results continue to be wayward he will pay the price, but what a price he'll also get with a further two years of compensation left to run on his contract

    You can't disagree with them really.

    I liked Ange, and I greatly appreciate all the success he brought us, but it is his stubborness and intransigence that is his Achilles Heel. He wouldn't change for us in the Champions League and we paid a heavy price.
    He is doing the same at Spurs and it's killing him, his team and their fans.

    In my books, a successful manager has to be adaptible and flexible, to an ever changing footballing environment.
    But Ange is as stubborn as a mule, inflexible and rigid in his footballing philosophy, and the fish is beginning to rot from the head now.

    He won't survive that imo.

    See I hope they do. But the Spirs defence is chronic especially their left back and centre backs . Watched the 2nd half v Chelsea they made them look like Barcelona at times.

    Agree with this, and today’s showing is as obvious as is it gets.

    His stubborness will be his downfall. Why, why, why won’t you adapt when it’s what you need to do?

    Love the big man, it’s hard watching it.

    Nonsense? Have you not been paying attention to how things work in the EPL? He may get extra time but the idea of him being sacked right now is certainly not that far-fetched.

    Possibly, but his signings so far haven't been great so maybe they won't give him another widow.
