Sounds perfectly in line with what he’s said many times before.
He ain’t changing his style for anyone or anything
The Chelsea game showed us that. Even with 9 men we were still defending on the half way line. Spoke volumes and he said afterwards “we will do that with 5 men mate”
I think people make too much of this.
The guy is just being honest. May be too candid because it will attract raised eyebrows from some.
City do not really vary their tactics. Do they have a plan B. Do they ever sit back and park the bus? No. never really seen them play like Asrenal did in their last 2 PL games. They look to control possession, control the game, keep pressing, probing and attacking the opposition. They score 90+ goals a season.
They may change their personnel a bit, they have players who offer them different options, a different way to play (pace/dribbling of Doku vs possession and technicality of Grealish for example), but really they play the same way at all times.
You could say that Ange's approach is even more attacking than Peps. SO may be the issue is that people do not believe Ange's approach can work.
But Ange isnt going to conclude he way doesnt work and start to ask the lads to drop team and play in our half, park the bus and concede possession.

your taking it to the extreme I dont think anyone is saying at times he should park the bus
It’s kinda admirable and stupid at the same time.

All I would say is, be thankful of the Brentford result and have hope but at the same time be prepared for the worst to follow. Just in case.

it has ever been thus!
I have no problem with Ange saying this stuff, he's clearly a guy who believes strongly in his football principles...... It will also put an end to his tedious " i always win something in my 2nd year nonsense
Ange's Spurs career will live or die by his tactics which he is clearly not prepared to compromise on.
I think we are certainly seeing a bit more subtle variation.
I have noted when Bentancu plays he has held a bit more of a deeper position a lot of the time. Also, and especially @ NUFC and the NLD, a little bit more caution in the way both FBs commit up field.
I think last season we saw a lot the high line, which we still have but almost everyone bar the CBs about 20-23 yards from the opposition goal when we attacked. We are a little bit less like this now I think.
We're currently sitting in 10th position with a mediocre record.
Aussieglue dodged a bullet in the Coventry match. Had we lost it, as we should have, he'd be in deep shiet.
We should have won the Leicester match.
And the Newcastle match.
If we lose the next two league matches (both away matches) he'll certainly be on the chopping block for Xmas.
And I'm looking forward to Thursday with some apprehension.....what team will he pick?
Does he think Europa competition is a candidate for his "I always win in my second year"?
He'd better faacking deliver mate!
Love Ange. Most of you will have read stuff about his old man, his upbringing, his philosophy, his emotion - even though his touchline demeanor doesn't show it. As blunt an Aussi as you'll get - refreshing!
His challenges, his reflections, his successes - all very emotional. It is not so much he has no plan B as any changes he makes are too subtle to be seen as a plan B. If it doesn't work he won't waver but instead question the personnel he has to execute his plan A.
He is great a picking up a team in the gutter. Great at instilling belief. He's probably the ideal man to bring teams up from the championship? He wants hard working, humble guys to mirror his ethos. I suspect the 'Billy big time' attitude of EPL first picks might be less malleable to his approach?
Give him a chance. What would changing managers really buy you?

Have a day off from the misery mate.
Your post above is depressed about beating Coventry, doom and gloom about Leicester & NUFC results, ignores our last game which was a very good performance and contemplates what a shiiit situation we will be in if we lose the next couple games, how his job will be on the line and how we should all be bricking it about a home game vs Qarabag.
I hope you have someone looking out for you because you sound like you'll be watching tonight's game, ready to jump if it all goes wrong.
