Hope they stick with him. Nice to have a notionally big side doing even worse than we are.
PP stealing my meme from Guardiola thread sigh. They didn't even include the question sigh.
You’ve been waiting 8 games to use this, haven’t you?
Give me some credit.You’ve been waiting 8 games to use this, haven’t you?
I was waiting since the 60th minute of the match to use it
Looks like sack, though Levy tends to do the opposite of what people think he will.
I wouldn't be shocked if he got until they are knocked out of all competitions. Levy is very much of that same mindset as the leeches.
He is too stubborn for his own good, he always played with a very risky high line and once he lost Van de Ven and Romero, that risk went even higher, not only defensivly, but in attack.
Too many injuries didn't help, too many ups and lows in the perfomances of his players too.
And finally Spurs are Spurs

Ange is a dead man walking.
He is not only losing the bit of good will he earned in his first season with Spurs, he's also damaging his future career.
Making it to the PL was the hardest part. Being half decent and adaptable would guarantee him years of various gigs over the table. Now lower clubs won't risk his "tactics" with inferior players. And bigger clubs won't bother either.

The Levy out chants have ramped up. The sack is coming.
Who is worse, Levy or the Glazers. Tough call.
Considering Levy took the club from the financial disaster of Alan Sugar, and has. improved every aspect of the club's infrastructure, finances, and security... I'm pretty sure the Glazers did the opposite
That's a really poor result and performance. They've got so many injuries but you have to beat Leicester at home, especially after being 1-0 up at HT.
Guess he'll still be safe at least until Carabao Cup game at Liverpool. Should have couple of players back by then, right? If they lose he'll surely be gone as they'll have Fa Cup game at Villa only 3 days later and wouldn't be happy to get knocked out of both cups in space of 3 days.

I don't know how he's still there.
I quite like him because he's so open with his emotions. He's been really grumpy for a while now, and fair enough. Previously he was really happy, and that was a bit annoying, but now I see he's just a straightforward bloke.
Brentford away next week, that could be the nail in the coffin for him
How is it a 'tough call'?
Is that from the average wives POV - arrogant, stubborn, and oblivious to what's going on around him
Rebecca Lowe pointed out that he is very rude to journalists during interviews and looking back she has a point. Your opinion on touch line reporters and the like may vary but it is definitely not smart to make an enemy of the media because when they get the chance to stick the knife in they will.
Spurs have somehow been worse than us this season……that’s quite an achievement by Ange…..they are only 1 point above Everton!
They’ve had a lot of injuries but lots of people questioning the training methods as many are recurring muscle issues.
He’s got to beat Liverpool to keep his job.

Reminds me of ten hag in some ways. Had a promising first season, but injuries in the second season meant that stubbornly sticking to a certain style of play, without the players needed, basically meant digging your own grave.
Ten Ange.
I never brought the fact you guys were in relegation danger, after today I'm starting to wonder if Spurs just might be.
It'd be funny, but 8 points is a massive cushion at that end of the table. I'd be shocked if three of the current bottom four didn't go down.
Still the media is pro-angle and pro-spurs and Amorim and us keep getting the brunt of anti news articles

But like you said, it’s fun seeing them suffer more than us
Many Premier League titles and Champions league and more finals, Glazers aren't that bad.
The phrase ‘in spite of’ springs to mind
If someone told me we'd be 5 points above Spurs at this stage I'd think we're around 3rd/4th place in the table
Id be surprised if any of those teams reached 30 points. Wolves perhaps have the quality to go on a run. Maybe.
I don't really care what they do with Ange, but aren't they absolutely ravaged by injuries? I know he should still find solutions, but missing most of your best back four and your best creative player certainly doesn't help.
How much of that is Ange's fault though with the way they play, a bit like how we had so many last year under ETH with the ridiculous way we played
Can you really attribute injury rates to a style of play? I'm not sure. I'd be more inclined to believe it's got something to do with training load and intensity, if anything.
They've been unlucky with injuries but it could be partly due to Ange's style of play. Also, he started Romero and van de Ven against Chelsea when they weren't fit enough to start and they were forced to leave the pitch as they got injured again. That's on him. Those two seem to be vital to his system and it was stupid to risk them like that. They've been out ever since.

I think the ridiculously high line the defence play and the amount of sprints/ground they have to cover to get back, which is probably what they work on regular in training (as you've alluded to) could be a contributing factor to all the injuries in defence they have. If thats the case the manager has to take his fair share of blame. I dont think its a coincidence our injury record at utd has improved with only the perma crocks Mount and Shaw currently out
They’ve been terrible for a year now, way before the injury problems. There’s basically no evidence to suggest they’ll drastically improve if/when they get players back.
They'd basically have to continue this form for the rest of the season and see one of the bottom four actually kick on a bit to get caught.
Southampton are dead and buried, and I think it's just a case now of whether it's Ipswich, Wolves or Leicester that avoid the drop, rather than anyone else getting dragged into the fight.
Even if you take their form from the Fulham draw, with no improvements they're still good for 30 points. Leicester's form over the same period still only has them good for 27 points, and Wolves and Ipswich 26 points.
As with us last season, the counters to that will be "look at all the money spent" and "not the only team with injuries".
A quick look at their starting 11 has Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Bentancur, Sarr, Kulusevski, Richarlison and Son. Even Gray, who is young, cost them £40 million. You're only really looking at the keeper and Bergvall as not being proper "senior" players.
Probably worth mentioning that Bissouma was just left on the bench as well.
Ange's PR is even better than Rashford's. A shit manager out of his depth that has been given a free pass by the press because he is Austrailian.
Compare and contrast to treatment of Ragnick.

Over the last 38 league games they've earned 46 points. 12 of those were in matches against the three teams relegated last season, and Southampton this season.
They've lost 20 of their last 38 league matches.
