He's the best chance that Spurs have to move forward. He needs to be be backed properly in the transfer market this summer.

[@davidthompson9141]

I disagree, much of what he says is BS. He says he took over a squad that were 8th and going downwards as players were getting to an age where they needed a new challenge. He took over an incomplete but hugely promising young squad and was given significant resources to plug the gaps. He's added 3 non goalscorers to the front 3 that are only there for pace and nothing else. He also only has 2 attacking plays which have become hugely predictable and easy for the opposition to stop. He doesnt know how to break down a low block defence either and has dropped 23 points against pretty weak low blocks, forget about the better ones we will run into. Add to that he cant drill a defence and he isnt addressing basic problems week after week. I stopped buying the hype months ago. I think he will improve us a bit this summer but I think we'll still fall far short of what is required and probably have a write off of a season next season if he stays.

Ange is always more sincere and happy to talk to international journalist than PL ones 😅😂 must be because he knows that international journalist won’t twist his words for clicks unlike the PL ones.

We have to back ange through to next year. His first season in Japan he finished 12th, this guy knows how to build a team from the ground up. I'm honestly surprised that he keeps mentioning a title charge next year where I think it's more realistic in his 3rd or 4th season. With a couple more transfer windows I truly believe spurs will have a better chance to win anything than our last few managers.

[@realife1542]

Like what he did was Brisbane roar and with a salary cap. Dominating like that on a level playing field is unheard of

He has to mention a title charge next year. Otherwise what’s the point of him being there? He doesn’t have ambitions to finish 4th or 5th. No manager should!

[@jesseshaw7998]

I could not agree more, you can also look at the way brisbane roar and how they evolved so quickly and aggressively. Ange will do great things the hard part is managing our expectations on what the team has earned and what we expect. Be prepared for the ground work which may disappoint but brings years and years of greatness we did not expect. Ange has that ability and clearly wants to deliver. It's too early to judge on what he can do, but it's easy to judge what he intends to do

If you watch spurs games, you can easily figure out that spurs are lacking in attack to play ange ball. So when he gets some good wingers and a striker, he will turn it around in no time

Ange can't win anything in epl or Champs with his extreme high line system. It's too risky in many ways. He wants to play attacking football but he doesn't even have many attacking patterns. And he ignores defensive tactics and set piece tactics. He lost 22 goals from set pieces but he says it's not important.😅 He doesn't analyze his opponent teams' play style. He is doing the same thing for 1 year even though other teams have finished analyzing his football. That's why he is losing continuously now. But he never made any complement about his system at all. All his opponents now park tbe bus, counterattack, and use set piece patterns to win against Tottenham. That's the obvious solution to win them. 😅 Ange's build-up pattern is also always the same. That's why they lose the ball continuously in the middle because their opponents already know what they will do.
