Ange Postecoglou

Me too. I think I said in July that I wouldn't miss him all that much, I might just watch the YouTube highlights of his games or something like that. Plenty of people on here will tell you I don't half spout some nonsense on here at times, but that's got to be right up there with the dumbest things I've ever said.

I've never really had an English team (at least not since 1992), the nearest I've come is wanting Leicester to win it in 2016 for the romance of it; but I'm absolutely desperate for Spurs to do well. Spurs have become "my" English team and will be as long as he is there. It's a weird experience for me.

 

I'm just loving how je destroys the press down there. Some pundits didn't take long to get on board and suck up his * but you still have gary neville who it pains to see ange bossing it. Constantly negative about about him

 

I see Ewan Murray is taking a pasting for his response to this on twitter

What a bitter pretend diet-hun he is.

 

Class guy man, miss him

 

Two players in the door at Spurs after just 10 days of the window. All the fans down there can't believe it. Ange definitely has a way when it comes to transfers and communicating what he needs and when he needs it.

 

It's surely no coincidence that both our board and now Levy have moved so quickly to secure players in January under Ange, when both are notorious for usually waiting to late in the window to do their business.

It's just a shame that for whatever reason Rodgers doesn't have the same influence.

 

Rodgers seems too passive until he’s had enough and blurts out stuff to the media

 

He’s such a natural contrarian.

Loves a disagreement.

He could probably have me convinced that water wasn’t wet if I insisted to him it was.

 

Water isn’t wet, it makes other things wet

 

And one of them knocked back Bayern Munich in the process. And then he went and * sold Eric Dier to them instead.

There’s nothing he can’t do is there?

 

Morning, Ange.

 

Morning mate

 

Interesting to hear Ange heap praise on his coaching staff after their game v Utd yesterday, particularly the set piece coach.
Begs the question, why did he not have one at Celtic?

 

His team was 2ft tall

 

He doesn't have a dedicated set piece coach; his first team coach Ryan Mason also looks after attacking set pieces, while another of his coaches Mile Jedinak does the defensive set pieces.

I think it's similar to the set up he had here, where Strachan was in charge of set pieces as well as whatever other general training he did.

Maybe Mason and Jedinak are just better at it.

 

Watching the game last night Spurs were good at attacking set pieces because Porro could take a corner. All his corners were played in at pace right into the danger area.

I don't know why so many players struggle to deliver a good cross or try to do a few passes before crossing it in. Just get someone who can consistently whip a good ball in.

Defensively Spurs still look fragile. They gift chances.

 

Rumours already started to circulate pitching Ange for the Klopp's job.

 

Alonso will be a stick-on for it. I think Ange to City in 2025 when Pep leaves is more likely.

 

Woulda been a huge chance he coulda ended there if he had stayed.

There's no way he could go.
