  1. Has the tiki-taka ‘tiny turbo player’ era come to an end? | Nope!

    It's also a lot easier to put together a strong athletic midfield than a midfield comprised of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets.

  2. Ange Postecoglou

    I agree they have not spent their money well, way too many youth signings, you can understand a couple for sure but look at Spurs squad, Udogie, Kinsky, Odobert, Moore, Gray, Sarr, Tel, Bergvall Exactly, and Son is on the decline at 32, but then you see the Spurs fans thinking they should be...

  3. Ange Postecoglou

    I think the problem is the Spurs fans see themselves as a CL places team, that is just not the case with Kane gone and Son on the decline at 32. No offense to Solanke or Richarlison but neither are anywhere near the class of Kane, or Son in his prime. Spurs are simply not on Liverpool, City...

  4. Ange Postecoglou

    This, why would he ever go to the Spurs train wreck? Seems like managerial suicide for Iraola who at the moment has a settled squad and is sitting far above Spurs. They will have to look at the unemployed manager market, or just go with Mason I would imagine.

  5. Ange Postecoglou

    Agree the recruitment for the most part has been truly inept, how much did they spend on Richarlison? Wasnt that around 60-70mil as well? And they have spent a small fortune on promising kids. Does not mean Postecoglu is blameless, his brand of high octane football at all costs has cost them...

  6. Joao Felix | littlest hobo in Milan

    Was way over hyped, like he was the next Iniesta or something.

  7. Ange Postecoglou

    Surely the recruitment team have to follow Postecoglu out the door, 3rd in net spend over the last 5 years and sitting in 15th place. Bought up a bunch of youth prospects which is always a gamble, they could be good in 6 years, or total flops like N'Dombele. It has Bale money spend written all...

  8. Premier League 25/1/25 - 26/1/25

    He's getting a pass because of the injury crisis and from what has been said the players are still 100% behind him so has the dressing room backing. But I agree, surprised he is still there, but who would Spurs get mid season? They would probably be stuck with Mason as an interim coach until the...

  9. Arsenal - 2024/25

    Spurs are absolute shambles at the moment is the only problem. Got some young midfielder kid playing as one of their primary CB's and some Dragusin guy I'd never heard of partnering him. At least when they got Romero I had heard of him. They also decided that Werner, a player not good enough for...

  10. Ange Postecoglou

    Im not sure if it's Levy or your recruitment team but if it is the recruitment team they need to go out the door with big Ange. Werner not good enough for Chelsea who wanted to push for top 4 so Spurs go and get him? Apart from that you brought in a bunch of kids(Dragusin, who?) who may turn out...

  11. Ange Postecoglou

    Has to go after that absolute murder at home no? Not like the form has been great and it is a one off loss, seems the team is all over the shop. He might get a pass because they have a crazy injury crisis and are down to bare bones and playing an 18y/o kid out of position at CB. The recruitment...

  12. Ange Postecoglou

    They have had teams where a bit of investment would have taken them to the next level. Im thinking teams like with peak Bale, Modric and Van Der Vaart. Or then later under Pochettino with Dembele, Eriksen, Kane, Son and the CB pairing of Vertonghen and Alderweireld. You think oh Spurs look good...

  13. Europa League 24/25

    Not sure but that CB pairing is genuine Championship level, that Gray kid isnt even a CB, he is midfielder no? Surely Spurs have some upcoming CB's in the academy ready to make a splash? As I recall that is how Kane got his start, demolished the Europa league so the coach had no choice but to...

  14. Dejan Kulusevski | Spurs

    I think Ange's tactical shift has helped him a lot, his technical skills are top notch but he doesnt really have the pace to blitz past someone down the line like say a Bale would do. So having him come inside and be more of a creative presence in congested areas of the pitch I think suits him a...

  15. Ange Postecoglou

    A lot of knee jerking going on with the Ipswich loss, there are some games they did not deserve to lose, but that is football. Look at the City game, on balance of the stats you would say 2-2 would have been a fair result, yet it ended 4-0 to Spurs. Still very inconsistent and prone to some...
