Why Ange Postecoglou Could Be The Perfect Manager For Tottenham

[@FrankSerpico29]

As a Spurs fan, the fact that he gets rid of half the team, at his previous jobs, sounds like music to my ears

[@CerebralThinking]

Frank, after two years at Celtic, on leaving last week, the only players that were still there when Ange arrived were the captain and left back. All other players brought in by Ange.. With 5 from Japan. He'll get rid of the dead wood quickly.

@@webleeoz this team lacks spirit, cohesion, drive and direction. I'm sure Ange would have stipulated his terms.. let's hope the club is ready for a massive shake up.. ALL ABOARD!!!

[@sugarman4354]

Ange's system is heavily reliant on hard working wingers. Maeda is three players in one. His workrate is just ridiculous. He plays as a winger but closes down & chases players all over the park to win the ball back. Very important to have players willing to put in the miles at pace. Players half assing it will be out the door. There are no superstars just one team. If Spurs are going to be successfull the players need to buy in or move on.

[@zombievikinggaming4258]

There's nobody hard working at Tottenham, so unfortunately he's doomed to fail. Tottenham is the career killer club for managers.

[@Ajs_1988]

Hopefully he moves quite a few of them on, deadwood!! We need a clear out and then to trust him. He clearly plays decent football so I'm in 100%. That's all us spurs fans want, we dont win much at all, but at least we've nearly always tried to play attacking football

[@enricobrik3074]

@@zombievikinggaming4258Ange’s standard practice is to move on all those squad members who aren’t physically capable or willing to play his style. This will be crucial with first two transfer periods. By then a dozen players will have gone and a dozen come in. If Spurs and especially Levy don’t buy in he’ll be gone by Christmas.

[@CerebralThinking]

With Ange to come in, Spurs will have a bona fide giant similar to the effect that the great Jock Stein had when being interviewed. No doubt about that. The Spurs fans, media, and the players themselves, will see a man not simply walk in front of the press and dressing room -- his sheer presence (aura) makes it feel like he explodes into the room. Articulate, concise and sharp in his thinking. This is a man with huge personality (all the best managers have this) and a great football brain -- and woe betide any player who thinks he can do as he wants; for that player's career at Spurs will end abruptly. This is the measure of a unique man; he has an acute understanding that success begins with complete control of the dressing room. Even the media, bar none, were shit scared of Ange in Scotland, and asked their questions with obvious trepidation. That said, they all respected him. But first let's deal with the myths and the simple stats: Celtic, had a solid defence and stats to match their attacking prowess, and real defensive consistency: conceding a goal every 101 minutes -- or see it as 34 goals conceded in 38 matches (0.89 goals conceded) per match. Therefore, it is merely a myth that they concede almost as many as they score. It was similar to this in Japan and Australia. Second, Ange Postecoglou is a force of nature! Spurs fans will recognise this after the first several press conferences. However, he has the football brain to back up what he says -- including a steel-like personality who commands absolute respect from his players, opposing managers and CEO's. Significantly, he wins the loyalty and affection of the players. Third, I have, for at least a year, become convinced that Ange could easily have taken Celtic through to the knockout stages of the Champions league -- and beyond -- if given the financial resources his ambition craved for; a quarter of the Spurs player budget would have been enough to obtain European progress in the CL. Fourth: he'll have that money if joining Spurs; and he won't have to spend obscene amounts to get the players he wants. His hit rate for buying the right players ("personalities", as he puts it) is phenomenal! And as much as I don't like saying it, as a Celtic fan, if you can get hold of our two Japanese stars: Reo Hatate & Kyogo Furuhashi, and they follow Ange to London -- you'll have players to light up the English premiership. He has a brilliant eye for the right player to fit into his football "jigsaw" while he goes about doing what he loves -- and is best at -- building succesful teams. His 25 year record testifies to this abilty. Fifth: Ange is thee prime motivator of players, and leaves them with an unshakeable belief that they can beat the best -- and do it in a style of football that is beautiful to watch! The Celtic players adore him! As do the fans. There are many reasons for this adoration. It was the same in Australia, and in Japan, when he took a club that had underperformed and quickly made them Japanese champions. Unfortunately, we Celtic fans now find ourselves in the same position as the Japanese fans when Ange left their country to come to Glasgow Celtic: lamenting his loss to another team who see his potential. This begs the question: when will the Spurs fans be mourning the same loss, and to whom will they lose him? As Ange said when arriving at Celtic two years ago: "enjoy the ride" while you can. You have, I kid you not, a potential CL winner in your midst if, and only if, Levy and his board do not interfere with this man who had a Fergie-like grip on Celtic while he was here in Scotland. You're all extremely lucky to have him! After all, despite Celtic losing that tie against Real Madrid last year (the superior players like Luka Modrić eventually being the difference that pots of money can buy) Celtic were, for about sixty minutes, clearly the better team on the night in Glasgow. Who knows what would have happened after 30 minutes of the first half when our Captain hit the post from 20 yards. For Madrid simply could not get out of their own box! A testament to Ange's high octane, high press style of relentlessly hunting in packs until they recover the ball. Then recycle and attack. If he is allowed the time, Spurs fans will watch beautiful, fast and relentless attacking football; lots of goals. Your lucky number has finally came up after years of disappointment. But he will need time to get the player balance right, and the football style ingrained into the minds of the players.

[@chomskybhoy]

As a Celtic fan you’re awful excited about him joining another club. And as for suggesting him taking Kyogo and Hatate he can fuck right off. He’s got a budget that he can pick up players from most clubs in the world. He’s away and he’ll probably end up successful but fuck him also dismantling our side when he can look elsewhere

[@andrewmather9076]

I'm a Rangers fan but agree with a lot of what's being said. Where Rangers got pumped in our Champion's League games, Celtic looked strong and even in the opening Madrid game could've been 1 or 2 infront at half time if it wasn't for the post and some good saves from Courtois. Personally I'm thrilled to see him leave Scotland for the Prem as he's transformed Celtic from a team that lost the league by 25 points to a team that's won it at a canter this year and had incredible domestic success in winning the cups also. He's undoubtedly a great manager and I hope he represents Scottish football well in the Prem when he takes over Tottenham - I think he's got a better skillset than Gerrard had when he took over Villa at any rate

When a wing back made three costly turnovers, at half time Ange when up to the player in front of the whole team, and said "You're the bravest player in our team.

[@carlosciudadreal1842]

"Ange Postecoglou's tactics for Celtic is to literally put a pillow over the face of their opposition and hold it there until their legs stop kicking" Yep that pretty much sums up the way he plays. Its why that legendary Brisbane Roar team got the name "Roarcelona" in salary capped league where the teams are just about even he did the same thing he did with Celtic. He dominated A-league and it was quite frustrating to watch when your the opposition because your literally camped in your own half for 90 minutes and you can't get out. He did the same thing in Asian cup with the Socceroos literally ran all the teams to the ground bar South Korea and even then their legs were done by 90 minutes even Son had got that equaliser and our boys were still ready for more in extra time. When he was at Yokohama it was so different that it took J-league by storm because they are usually quite conservative where as Ange just didn't let any other team rest. 1st season defensively frail 2nd season was total domination with Kawasaki on their toes the whole season.

[@BrettSurenne]

I loved watching Celtic games from a tactical perspective. I honestly believe that there may have been a couple of small points to add. It would only be against the lower opposition that he would play both fullbacks inverted. Certainly, Johnson didn't invert as much as Greg Taylor, and they would have to be really dominating for both to fill that "half-space" at the same time. Also the number 8's as you call them were often the ones to get to the byline and cut back for the striker to finish, one-touch because the defensive fullback was way out wide on the winger. O'reilly probably the best example and Rogic did that a few times as well. Lastly i think you had your CB's too far forward. Mcgregor (The Maestro), who had some engine on him, filled that space on the edge of the centre circle and the 8's moced from CM to the forward line and back and back to the CM and back to the forward line. All of this wears the opposition down so that when the opposition does get the ball they are excited and lose their focus momentarily, next thing you know they were being attacked by 2-3 Celtic players for the ball. I did like your analysis, thankyou. It will take some new players though to do this for Tottenham though. I can't see Kane pressing for 90 minutes. Better to sell him and buy some fitter, younger, intelligent players.

only additon i can add is you talked about Australia at 2014 world cup but the year after in 2015 he won the asain cup with Australia which is a huge acheivement considering teams like Japan are much more talented and in that asain cup they had to play Heung Min Sons south Korea twice once in group and in final

[@rocket8796]

A bit of balance, the Cup was in Aust and Sth Korea beat us in the group. We then beat UAE and China before Sth Korea in extra time in the final. We didn’t play Japan.

[@KFR]

@@rocket8796 Korea beat Japan and we beat them though

[@alexscriven8960]

This analysis is spot on. You forgot the role of the keeper though who often plays the role of a sweeper to the point where you have a heart attack. But who needs a heart anyway. Yolo.

[@kRomani-gh4ws]

U need a keeper who's got vision to see what's developing in front of him and direct his defense appropriately lots defenders pay too much attention to the man with the ball and lose sight of open attackers around them that's when a great keeper comes into play it's like a maestro directing the orchestra

[@MaxCaffeinePlease]

With our players, that defence in the opposition half makes me crap my pants

[@kRomani-gh4ws]

When both teams pressure the results is a lot of 0_0

[@jimmibarr6433]

Gday mate love the energy great insight into the team structure there, trying not to be too bias but I can’t wait to see what Ange does with spurs next season, hope he’s still there after 38 games and spurs are doing well, just not as well as Newcastle haha

[@Miguel-pt6dm]

thanks for the thorough analysis. I'm a bit optimistic now :)

[@tekl6814]

I am very excited but it’ll be interesting to see how he fairs in what is truly his biggest test yet

[@TottenhamRanger]

im so excited this is exactly what we need spot on appointment the aussie legend ange

[@fbaresi1681]

Great description.

[@markhalliday2397]

The current spurs players won’t know what’s hit them, half will be culled and the other half will be whipped into shape. The spurs fans don’t know it yet but (if he’s given time and support) he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to your club. All the best and will be keeping an eye out for your results from now on 🍀

[@vaguelyright6833]

Appreciate the sentiments but as a Spurs fan we are fully aware of this philosophy of football and most of us supporters dare to dream this as Poch Mk II.

[@montanaprime]

This is beautiful, because they’ll get beat on the counter every single time. I’ll come back to this video after the Brentford game

[@jonathanpoopalinos-re2qm]

Still early days, but thoughts so far?

[@danny_mack]

Ange will do good wherever he goes its a sad loss yet again for Celtic losing a good manager and players to mediocre prem teams, but at a club like spurs and a chairman like levy who sees the club as a business over winning anything and just raking in the sky money year on year can Ange really make that much of a difference

[@Hiradpro13]

They said the exact same thing for Mourinho and Conte too. Nothing much happened. But let's see what Postecoglou does

[@seanmahony1484]

As a Celtic supporter I love Ange, as an Arsenal supporter I’m terrified that he is exactly the man that could make Spurs relevant…

[@johndeighan2495]

Spurs fans will have to embrace transition, change won't happen overnight. If they're willing to sacrifice immediate results and get behind the "project" (I know, I know), good times could be coming back for them.

[@Lowdninja]

Shouldn't you be preparing for your transfer to Liverpool from Brighton right now??

[@musicalneptunian]

Interesting. I might b e the only person here who saw Ange in his playing days with Sth Melbourne; he was a number 6 left half defender. Not a playmaker. More old school. That makes it interesting that he's developed such a hyper press attacking philosophy.

[@DiscordantVice]

Well I’m watching too many videos telling me Ange is the second coming so obviously I’m now getting too excited. I think it’s a good appointment, the fact he is a 4yr contract suggests that Ange has mad clear to the lunatic Levy that it will take time which also suggests he is aware he can not try and implement his tactics fully with our current squad because teams will pick us off pretty easily. I reckon 2 years and 4 transfer windows to get the players in and train them in the system and then in 3rd year we’ll be ready to see if his tactics will work on EPL. I really hope this works out as I’ve had enough of Levy and ENIC and was about to give up on Tottenham until they got new owners. This is Levy’s last chance IMO. Guys had made too many bad decisions and appointments since stabbing Pochettino in the back.

[@BarnesyHK]

Spurs fan here…I can’t wait to see big Ange’s brand of attacking football but the thought of being so exposed at the back, with our current players, TERRIFIES ME! 😂

[@brucescammells2817]

That's going to make your ride even more exciting. Just hang on and enjoy. If the players are not up for it they won't be on the park.. Cheers from Aus.

[@jayceeni]

I hope our fans give him a chance , it hasn’t worked with all the glamorous managers b4 , maybe someone who takes no shit and plays attacking “the spurs way” football. And if it doesn’t work what difference . Most importantly they need to give him time, manu gave Ferguson time , I know they nearly sacked him but they didn’t and a legend was forged. Unless we do get hammered 10-5 for the first 8 games then , well

[@ZeroTheHeroGOAT]

Awesome video.

[@ramonpereira1921]

well that is insane because not a single Tottenham midfielder or defender can play in this system

[@armandosolis3943]

I feel like Romero and porro could. Prob royal too. I am worried about the midfield tho

[@ramonpereira1921]

@@armandosolis3943 Porro can't defend and Royal can't cross, but a think this is easy to fix by training

[@CerebralThinking]

They won't be around if they cannot cope with it! They'll be gone. Quickly!

[@fabz7647]

@@ramonpereira1921yeah Romero could he actually played in a high line for Atlanta when he won defender of the season award

[@StuartWoodrow]

Romero and Udogie can certainly play in this system and I hope that Ange can be the making of Royale. There are certainly a few spaces to fill in the squad, and lots of players to move on, but let's see what the man can do. I, for one, am excited.

[@DavidBoyd-y5x]

Just hope he gets rid of Dier and hojberg

[@sah8956]

Good content 👍

[@apple-on5pq]

nothing will change if Levy still the owner of the club

[@mistermagnus]

I hope Ange enjoys the cheese room. Expect drastic squad changes, a slow start to the season, a bunch of people calling for his head, and then some big results, along with aggressive no nonsense interviews. As the big man said when he started at Parkhead, Enjoy the Ride, Spurs fans.

[@gerd9126]

A lot of plaudits here for big AP I can only comment on what I witnessed during his tenure in Scotland which was a fast paced attacking style from the 1st minute to the last minute, his players are more athletes than footballers, he was hopelessly exposed in Europe when faced with teams with a similar game plan and better footballers, remember Scotland is a two team league so it's decided basically on how many times Celtic manage to beat Rangers and vice versa, I hope I'm wrong but I think AP will be back in Oz by Xmas...

[@RebelWisdom]

were you wrong?

[@celticsean5733]

were for london in October must wear the hoops to White hart lane game lol

[@jeek78]

Ange Postecoglou after 1 season will change his mind like Conte
