Popular Post JPJCB Posted Monday at 20:06 Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 20:06 39 minutes ago, Keyblade said: He's been like that since day 1, he's very condescending and arrogant when talking to the press. If you didn't know better you would think he had Guardiola's CV, and not the Temu version. When they were winning, people were lapping it up as "he's a straight shooter, I like him", which seems to be a popular fetish for whatever reason. I personally prefer people who speak thoughtfully and respectfully like our manager. Yeah I find the clips from his press conferences are very irritating. There’s been numerous instances where he’s challenged journalists with this tone of voice as if he’s saying something profound and then you actually listen to what he’s saying and it’s clear that he’s actually quite thick. The “we don’t care that it’s a derby” last week was the latest in a number of examples As others have said, his CV is objectively average and yet he’s walking around claiming that he’s aiming to win the premier league. The contrast with Emery who never misses an opportunity to try and moderate expectations and show humility is so stark and yet Emery’s CV is one that ange could only dream of 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was initially deemed as refreshing and honest, now just comes across as rude and belligerent. He acts like a man under a huge amount of pressure and the promise of silverware this season is probably going to backfire on him massively. It’s all journalists will hone in on now. I thought I quite liked him, now he’s showing his true colours he just comes across like a lot of other Aussies I’ve met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Celtic being doubtful about Ange, but once he found that groove, they were an absolute joy to watch. An argument that I've seen Angepologists making lately is 'his football would work if he had better players'. But surely that just shows his limitations as a manager? They've given him hundreds of millions to spend the past couple of years - whether it's money well spent remains to be seen - but most teams seem to have figured out how to stop Spurs from being a threat. They just look clueless against a low block, which is something that all teams that dominate possession will face. Once they get close to the opponent's box, there are no passing triangles, no quick switches to create an overload or get a player into space... Maybe in lesser leagues Postecoglou had the resources to just steamroller opponents, but he's up against much better quality players and managers in the PL.

But, but he ALWAYS wins in his 2nd season, so that's only the treble for us this year :-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted Tuesday at 19:32 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:32 I liked him at first and genuinely think 5th was a decent season for him and Spurs. Problem is, when you start getting snarky and shitty with the press, and you haven't got the reputation of a Klopp or Pep, then they will tear you to pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the Bristol Motors trophy or a mid-season break trophy in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted Tuesday at 20:15 VT Supporter Share Posted Tuesday at 20:15 He's doubling down on it now, saying "should i just lie?" The question wasn't "Have you previously won a trophy in your second season at a club?", to which his response would've been fine, it was "Do you think you can win in your season at Spurs?", to which the answer is obviously "No, no one can."

Avfc96 Posted Wednesday at 14:32 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:32 That nice guy act he had has soon slipped as soon as the pressure has cranked up on him. Even going back to last year, their record since they got thumped by Chelsea at home is pretty average to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted Wednesday at 22:13 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:13 You’d think Ange would take the league cup more seriously and play a full strength team, since he’s definitely, 100%, no doubt about it going to win a trophy this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top fella. Everyone's mate. But it's just all pretence and doesn't take long to see through the charade when he flips his lid at the first sign of trouble. I expect the players cottoned on to it a long time ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you don't get from Emery. It's amazing how arrogant he is. His achievements are at such a low level they barely register. "I always win something in my second season" - Yeah some tinpot cup that's just above amateur level football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the players are baffled as to just how bad his coaching is. It's Steve cabbage Bruce level of tactics. Can't coach defence, can't coach set pieces, his idea of attacking coaching is throw as many players forward as possible and tell them to score goals.

bannedfromHandV Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Can’t help but feel some of these comments might come back to bite some folks on the behind. They’ve played well in what I’ve seen of them so far this season, certainly haven’t amassed the points you’d expect to go with the performances but that can change quickly.
