Keep thinking about how Conte and Jose, these supposed guaranteed winners rocked up and just complained about everything. The club isn't built for success etc. Ange turns up, backs himself, tells the club what winning a trophy will do then goes and wins one. Thats a winner.

Couldn't give a flying fuck about CL qualification. Its a European Final to win a trophy.

Not having this narrative that Frankfurt aren't up to much. Third in Bundesliga, winning experience and nous, unbeaten at home in the Yurop this season. They didn't play well because they weren't allowed to. Spurs individually, collectively, tactically on it. Right subs right time. Deserved.

I've a feeling Spurs are in for a sobering managerial search this summer.

Very sensible handling of Mikey Moore. This is the sort of insight that is lacking that usually allows for terrible takes to fill the gaps
Postecoglou was asked for an update on Son's contract situation and why Mikey Moore hasn't been getting any game time recently. www.football.london/tottenham-ho...

This season has been a mess but Lucas Bergvall is turning into a fabulous midfielder. Always so positive and fearless on the ball. As he matures, if those lapses in concentration/decision making fall away he's going to be an elite player.

Thomas Frank would be my choice for next Spurs manager. Its time ownership stopped bringing in managers who either require elite players or specific system players as they wont give the manager what they need. Frank is smart, pragmatic and at the level Spurs actually are

All of that isn't to excuse Ange, he has faults with both his system and reactions at times but don't hire a system specific coach and not back him and at what point does a human reaction to things become expected?! Its so bad from so many angles.

This is Levy's masterpiece. Bring in a manager who galvanised the fanbase, plays the football we want to see. Then don't fully back him, leaving squad with clear gaps. Those are exposed in a horrendous run of injuries. Take ages to bring in players in Jan. Season now drifts away. Still in Europe

If I have a take on Tottenham and what kind of coach they need, I think it's secondary to the reality that the ownership style will always expose whatever flaws exist in a candidate.
There are good ideas and nice theories, but whomever is in the job will only have part of what they need to do it.

I absolutely loved Pochettino's Spurs but the fact he went to Chelsea showed he wasn't the messiah we thought he was and the reasons he didn't win trophies at Spurs are all still going to be a factor. Not least ownership.

That Bergvall pen is just so clear I'm amazed VAR didn't overturn that. The whole "he dived earlier" argument is mute when VAR is there to review decisions.

This is not a knock on Gray,Danso,Dragusin as I like them but nothing shows just the gap in class between a Romero and VDV partnership quite as much as when you see the difference in the same game. Spurs were in complete control with Romero and VDV. Getting them both fully fit before 1/4s is crucial

Vicario, Porro, Romero, VDV, Udogie, Gray, Bergvall, Kulusevski, Johnson, Solanke, Tel
Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Spence, Bentancur, Sarr, Maddison, Son, Moore, Odobert/Richarlison
Until I can see a run of games where this is the options for Ange, I can't yet throw the towel in on him.

The latest episode of Severance is just a ridiculous flex in pretty much every aspect of making a TV show. Unreal

They're going to act like beating City is an incredible thing aren't they? Despite half the league beating them this year

Sincerely hope I'm wrong here but it feels to me a matter of when Ange is sacked over the next couple of weeks. Not if. He's been seriously let down and the lack of movement or urgency in this window is staggering from Levy. Make no mistake, this isn't a scouting issue. It's a money one.

This is one hell of a thread and some really interesting analysis. It's also quite depressing that this level of analysis is absolutely nowhere to be seen in the vast majority of the football discourse, across all mediums.
Ah yes! Another Monday afternoon on our gradual trudge into the future…
Which means we notice! And today I’m noticing something that has maybe gone largely unremarked at Spurs given the general misery of things recently… but Postecoglou has been evolving… [thread]

Very much looking forward to watching the Conference Championship games on est time next weekend, sat in a bar. Rather than a Sunday night at home.

For all the talk of "Ange needs to change his style" i actually can't remember the last time we looked like an Ange team. Man City away? Increasingly we are a team trying to just survive these games. Than stamp our authority on it. Largely because we haven't the fitness or depth to do either

Given how quickly we saw players throw managers under the bus in the past. This is telling. It probably won't matter as Levy is gonna Levy. If Ange was working them too hard, forcing them to player injured or out of his depth...he'd have been binned off by the squad long ago.
Whatever happens these players have never quit on Ange.
Sadly the signs are all there but I think that's worth remembering.
