He didn't do well today at all. Changed to a different formation which didn't work so arguably meets my criterion of now not doing what he said he would do. Would probably hold the record for the highest goal difference for a sacked manager though.
Is it a bit of an irony that the day he differs in his tactic is the day he gets sacked after being adamant he won’t change?
I was half joking and the Levy bit is a definite downer, but the chance for a group of exceptional youngsters to gel into a unit does have some serious attraction.
The irony is that he showed he could tweak his tactics if he wanted to When we were playing Dragusin/Davies by choice, the back line sat deeper because that pairing are better at defending in the box, while Romero and Mickey Van are better for defending 20-25 yards out Since we've been playing Dragusin/Grey due to lacking other options, though, our setup has been much closer to the Romero/Mickey configuration than the Dragusin/Davies one, and funnily enough at least one CB gets left in no man's land for pretty much every goal we concede
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou talking to Sky Sports: "It is a difficult result. We struggled to really get in the game in the first half and that gave Everton and momentum. We gave ourselves a mountain to climb but the players certainly tried to claw the game back but we just fell short. "We couldn't really take control of the game. We struggled to get any traction in terms of with and without the ball and that allowed to get in behind us. We had some chances where we probably should have capitalised early on, but in the end it wasn't enough. "We are pretty stretched. We literally had 11 players fit enough to start the game. We weren't in total control of our organisation and Everton capitalised on that and we paid the price for it. Radu [Dragusin] had to come off because of the deep cut and restructure. "Second half we had the fair share of the game. We started strongly and I thought Richarlison made a difference and a presence and Mikey Moore gave us something on the left."
On the transfer market: "There will be urgency but it doesn't need me to say it, everybody can see that. I have no issues with how the club are going about it, they are working hard and trying to find solutions. These players need help that is for sure and hopefully over the next 10 days or so we'll find a solution. It is really tricky, we're not the only ones in the market. The club are trying hard." Does your faith waiver? "No it doesn't. If you look at the situation we're in, it will eventually dissipate. I certainly hope and believe it will. We'll give ourselves the opportunity to get consistency in performance and results. I certainly haven't lost belief or determination to turn it around and the players showed in the second half that they haven't either."
So do I and think that he is a breath of fresh air! Also at least you can understand him in interviews, but I would agree he is like a non swimmer flounding in the deep end of the pool at the moment. It's almost cruel to watch at times.
It was 16-5 last night on RCL’s thread in favour of Ange staying on. Now 14-8 so there’s been one new voter and a couple have switched. I still believe some of the “keeps” are probably the likes of Munse and Bob too, lol.
