he didn't go defensive. The backup players are more used to conteball and reverted to type. long journey to get everyone on the same page

he said after the game he was disappointed with the lack of positivity

I think hobby is a real problem, he seems be too far gone after Conte and Jose. So easily slips into "defend the lead mode" and stops trying to play

You guys looked understandable leggy that's all. Don't think he changed philosophy.

In my opinion he didn’t go back on his principles, he just trusts Hojbjerg and Bentancur more than Gio. Which is fair in my book

If you want both Gio and Bentancur in, who you dropping?

Maddison injured, Bissouma suspended

Watching the game, I thought you were incredibly open if anything. Far from defensive.

Would sooner put Bentancur in to replace Madders than GLC. More chance of scoring with his 5 goals in 38 compared to 1 in 58 for GLC.

We lost the distribution centre from the back in Romero and VDV and the distributor in Maddison, the players that came in could do neither thats why Son was very inconspicuous, I have no confidence that Lo Celso would be any help at all, doubtful or any of the others, at least Ange has another week to work with them now, may be able to get some rhythm going

I wouldn`t trust Hojbjerg in this system, and yesterday proved it

Of course, sorry didn't realise you just meant for the next game. In which case I agree.

But unfortunately some of his Conte scarred players don't know how to do anything else.

Its going to be a bumpy November and December. We need to get back to winning against Villa

Got to hope that the players who go off to play for their countries at the break don't come back injured!
And its not clear that Maddison or Vdv will be back for Villa.
oh yes, and Villa are playing very well.

What are you talking about Ted? Maddison and VDV will be out for way longer than the time of the Vila game

I think this is close to the truth. Son was totally lost.

However there is one other thing.....
managers are paid to manage the individual players and Aussieglue has failed miserably to do that.
He hasn't stopped Romero from making ridiculous challenges, he hasn't stopped Udogie from sliding in...
and he hasn't stopped Bissouma from risky play...yet again against Wolves Bissouma was lucky not to get a second yellow.
If Aussieglue is only good at high level strategy and cannot man-manage players, he is only half the manager we need, and he needs help.

Don't think that's fair, Ted. He's coaching a positive system that requires players to aggressively win the ball back as soon as it's lost. It's no coincidence Spurs have had three reds already this season - they're being told to put in more tackles.

Whether you agree with Ange's chosen approach is a different matter but it's not fair to suggest he's not coaching them. The indiscipline is arguably a result of his coaching, not a lack of it
