Add in that other sides have more time and data to formulate an attacking strategy against his tactics. Ange does make changes in game contrary to popular opinion but they tend to be very subtle and needing post-match analysis to understand.

If you’ve no Plan B, work on executing Plan A better.

You’re not going to win anything conceding 1.5 goals a game. I’m not even sure anyone has finished top four with that stat ever.

Think he needs to get the side pressing better at the front. Will be an up hill battle given what the players are used to but you can't commit loads of players forward without stopping the opposition from having easy opportunities to hit you on the counter.

The change in style from last season is immense.
You were just a more expensive Burnley. Now you're one of the more enjoyable teams to watch, a few tweeks at the back and a bit more depth could mean top four easily. lets be honest you were doing great until that fluke of the Chelsea game. your depth just couldn't handle that many injuries and suspensions in half a game.
Some of the negativity is over the top, it is after all his first season in charge. If you buy in the summer like you did last season id say you'd be one of the better teams in the league.

Agree with this. Ange has a philosophy but that does not mean it does not evolve or alter within the main approach.

Ange and the players will learn more the more opposition tactics we face, and we will have to tweak things in response. But this is all part if a teams development....in the same way a new player often has an impact, once teams understand their strengths that player has to keep developing or they're just predictable and easily stopped.

It is a process and we will see if Ange has the ability to evolve us so that we can play in many ways and find the most effective for each situation.

This.


Our high press has dropped off a bit in recent weeks. Lost a bit of aggression and energy in this area.

expectations are now high but folk have to remember that this is a big change to our approach and we are still in the early stages of development...and in these circumstances doing pretty well.

Most would have taken this position if asked in Game Week 1 of the season.

I've enjoyed this season. Even the games when we were down to the bare bones.

Lots to look forward to still. Ange is on a free pass. I like his stubborn attitude. If it riles a few fans so be it. Our fan base wanted attacking football and he is giving it.

Now some are saying dial it back abit because they can't handle it and because of one loss.

We have lost 6 time this season. Anyone would think we are fighting relegation or mid table the way some on here carry on.

Although I like Ange and the way he wants us to play I'm getting a bit bored of the chaos.

At the moment it seems every game we are either desperately trying to hold on for a win or score a late winner/equaliser. Where are the 3 nil up after 65 mins take off the top boys situations?

Of course it can't be like that every week but if you're in the top5/6 in the Prem it should happen far more often than it does.

I want to see some comfortable victories after this 2 week lay off.

Fans who can't handle it. Exhibit A above.

the reaction to Saturday was very strange. it felt like people were even more frustrated than when we went 5 without a win, yet this loss ended a run of 5 games unbeaten.

If you're referring to me, I can handle it but don't want to.

Why would anybody want chaos over comfortable wins?

What is the correct reaction to losing a game at home?

disappointment, frustration, but an understanding that things like this are going to happen with a young team playing their first season in a completely new style.

not total toys out the pram, sky is falling meltdowns with people questioning the manager

As far as I’m concerned if we don’t finish in the top 4, the season will have been another disappointing one.

Ok, you do you.

Need a squad like Man City to play like Ange wants in the premier league, come on Levy

I don't think that's true at all. Brighton play a similar style of football with worse players and look reliably good. It just shows when a team have played a style for a decent amount of time - you know who's going to be where and when. Our lot are still figuring that out.

Well that ain’t happening is it?

Besides is Levy really going to keep shelling out for players Ange is barely even using?

This club need to stop making excuses and start teaching players that we do not accept losses. We have a young squad, like we did with Poch. But we gave them too many excuses and they didn’t seem to hurt after losses anymore. Kane said so when he left.

We have to finally change the mentality of this club. Board, players, fans etc. I hope Ange went absolutely mental at them after that performance. Not acceptable at all. Smallest bloke on the pitch with a free header even though ALL our players were back defending. Not. Facking. Acceptable. I don’t care how old they are or how long they’ve been out for.

Ange said he wants to win titles. Well how much? How much do Tottenham Hotspur want to win titles? Because making excuses for poor performances and loses is not how you go about it.

Was about to say, a lot of the narrative being pushed is starting to sound like excuses.

But you’ve put it much better.
