Players don’t have the right mentality. Ange clearly cares about what he’s doing and the players think they’re better than they actually are. Also, Bentancur shouldn’t even be playing. I do kinda have a soft spot for Spurs. Tanashe with a beard 🔥
It’s the mentality of the club, both in its players and its fans. It’s been going on for years. They talk about and maybe even see themselves like they’re a top side but their attitude is that of an underdog. Ange’s reaction to Spurs fans wanting to lose to City to prevent Arsenal from winning the league said it all. They have a defeatist mentality, plain and simple. Conte and Mourinho, who are serial winners, left Spurs as broken men. They tried to instil their winning mentality onto the Spurs culture, and failed. Ange is struggling to as well. Really love Ange, I think he’d be capable of winning trophies with a lot of sides in the Prem, but it’ll take a lot of time and energy to fix the defeatism at the club. Hope they can turn it around.
@@sebastiano728exactly my thoughts after watching so many spurs games. No wonder they don’t have trophies and people making fun of that. There is a reason for that. This Brighton game, once the first goal from Brighton came in, I already know spurs are going to bottle the lead and even lose. I was so calm seeing Brighton coming back and topping them. It is just a joke. Why do I already know they are going to bottle, because they have attitude issues as a CLUB! Yes, it is the whole freaking club. The mentality and attitude is just complacency, lack of passion and drive. Because it is the club issue, they attract certain kind of players and even managers. But seems managers never the problem as they all raged and left. People should not be soft towards spurs as it is the integrity issue. Look at man city and the morale of the players is evidently at high level. Tactical or technical issues are never the issues. This club is just disgusting.
@@sebastiano728This is such a stupid statement. Spurs were playing for nothing during that city game because they had just lost 4 games in a row that all their fans wanted them to win. Why should they care about a meaningless game? Blaming the fans for the clubs failures is ridiculous
I feel if the stats were actively bad, but the points arent there yet, it will balance out over the season. Last season after 12 games we were top but our stats showed us as midtable. I'm not a stats freak but I feel like these things do balance out over time. This result wasn't an Ange system problem, it was our players losing their heads

Based on individual talent, Spurs easily fit into the top 4 of the league. The thing is, talent is not enough as there's a big problem. I know, I know the style they play is pleasure to watch at times but.. it lacks something and that something makes the difference between talented players and winners. All the great coaches know that sometimes, you just have to be ruthless to get the win. That means anything can and should be sacrificed if it increases your chance to win. Mourinho - 3 champ leagues won mostly through ruthless defensive efficiency. Last spring, Ancelotti let City have the ball at home, they received 3 goals but... everything single time they reached the final third on the counter they were very, very dangerous. So they too scored 3 goals and later on qualified with a bit of luck. You do what you have to do win. Arsenal vs City - same thing. Arsenal vs Spurs - same thing. Despite the lack of trophies, Arteta is becoming a great coach, winning something big sooner or later feels inevitable. The big problem for Spurs is Postecoglu - he is too inflexible, perhaps too old to change his ways, to adapt. His players were finished in the second half, they had no steam, they just couldn't keep the relentless press going. He should have seen this and he should've prepared a plan during the break. Unless he starts adapting, unless he prepares a real Plan B, Spurs will continue to be plagued by inconsistency and, eventually, he will get sacked.
I hope so. Inflexibility and a lack of humility at PL level. Yes you've won everywhere you've gone, mate. But you've not gone anywhere truly world-class. And yes...he's too old to learn I feel. We need a young dynamic manager not an aged flower power football hippie. It's just not cricket.
@@judebachelet7822 like stats and metrics aren't more often used to illustrated falsehoods. When you're long enough in the tooth, your "vibes" are usually correct, son. Been watching coaches come and go since the 80s. You learn to spot patterns.
4:11 as a brighton supporter i can't tell which team is said to be better defensively between those two. Both of them made egregious defending mistakes against us, some of which were eerily similar. who do people say has the better defense? Tottenham? honest question
Please take sponsorships, man I love you, and if you do the membership thing, I will be the first in line on it with bells on But I'm poor and can't promise I would stay on
It's always frustrating when your team plays horrible, but I like to step back and look at the overall picture. I think spurs are progressing in the right direction and with more signings and the young talents like Bergvall, Grey, Mickey Moore and others, I'm excited for the future of the club
To be fair ,every team looks exhausted ,even those that are winning ,the pace of games can be painfullly slow ,or fizzle out into one tean defending their box and praying for a corner. Will there even be another cycle of football?
I appreciate the analysis, and I agree we have some defensive frailties that we need to improve on. However, despite the embarassing choke I don't think Brighton is a great example of that, and I believe is maybe counter to your point of not relying on stats to make a judgement (the scoreline in this case). 2 or (you could argue 3) of their goals came from individual errors, rather than being a wider systemic problem. Additionally our lack of cutting edge in the first half kept Brighton hanging around. We didn't take our foot off the gas and continued to carve them open at that point but couldn't take those chances. All that's to say I think from a tactical perspective Ange coached what could have easily been a 4-0 win on another day, but that's the way it goes sometimes, tactics only get you so far, you can't always legislate for the variance of football.
On the American football side of things it's been engaging to do a channel group for match pick-em. Starting off episodes with "40% of you thought New York could beat Seattle" or whatnot. Bragging rights certainly drive engagement. Love the vid!
I am not surprised that spurs are as effective this season, they have a core of players that are very good there for a few years and have added only extra quality in the first team and excellent young recruits with a lot of potential for the future, excluding the sale of harry kane which IMO was a great deal for spurs and I am not so disappointed as he left for personal reasons after being offered an extension. And I am doubly not disappointed as we are scoring from everywhere and even if we don't have a world class 9 that is breaking records and setting the bar higher and higher every season we can still be successful. There is only one harry kane and because we don't have him also means that only one club has harry kane and I think that he was poorly supported by a floundering and ageing Bayern Munich attack that was out of its depth in Europe against a mediocre however well organised Aston villa defence. I am never disappointed being a spurs fan but I do find it underwhelming to be so near to major titles and see them slip through our fingers time and again. I think if Ange is seriously going to compete at this level he needs to be more involved in what is actually transpiring in front of him on the pitch. From the touchline he has the best position to direct the game as he sees it. I am aware that he is somewhat distracted from the players and probably expects them to understand his philosophy and so if they are failing it is because they are out of sync, lose concentration or do not maintain focus on the pitch. That is a fair assessment to expect from your squad , I am not going to argue they should shirk responsibility and switch off. The problem with ange-ball is that when it is maintained to the greatest degree and manifested by total domination on the ball it is extremely effective when you have good talent up front however inferior to the previous personnel. There are two major flaws in this philosophy. 1. It is almost 100% certain that a player will lose the ball and we suffer an overloaded counter where we are scrambling to get back and cover from an advanced position or we lose it deep and our high line is flat, meaning we are easily breached even with more defenders. 2. players will always suffer lapses or tiredness, expecting the team to play on in such a high risk fast tempo while completely comfortable and in charge in games against high quality is not only 'greedy' as you say, but it is also naive from the management to hard wire the team in order to keep up the pressure. I know Ange has managed at big clubs in smaller leagues but the premier league is a shark tank of some of the best talent in the world and I am sorry to say that his game management and strategic stubbornness cost us that game, We beat a good MU team in Old Trafford two weeks ago and to be honest no disrespect to MU I sort of expected us to beat them, not so easily or comfortably but the odds were stacked in our favour. Unfortunately we went to Brighton and although they are competitive they appeared out of the tunnel and immediately wratcheted up the pressure and pushed us onto the back foot. If Ange wants to succeed at more than Trying to play his way then he needs to start learning quickly that his game plan is not foolproof and as we are always outnumbered up front or at the back there is a higher chance we score less from more chances and concede more from less given chances. That is the simple arithmetic of the conundrum. If we had instructed to drop off and contain the onslaught we are also capable to play that way. Ange was overconfident in his plan, he didn't suss the danger, complained that we were too casual and in an absurd and bizarre substitution he brings on a defensive midfielder to shore up the rear after we go 3 down. This is when we need to go in to top gear and batter down the gates and not at the beginning. It's as if he is pathologically ignoring his own stupidity and reasoning we have lost our minds and need to batten down the hatches to escape a thrashing. Sarr should have been on at the start, or at least half time when Brighton were plotting our downfall. Bentancur is a good player in attack or with an accomplice in the middle, But he is not going to hold the line on his own against a rampaging Brighton. I admire his bravery of selection and it paid off handsomely in the first half. However I think we need a more measured balance to our game structure either intrinsically or inherently to manage these erratic seismic shifts in scorelines. He needs to be more involved from the dugout and question his own problems because if he believes that he is not responsible and has invulnerability because of his success at lesser leagues where the volume of talent is not as high and with all due respect he was at the most successful and biggest club in Scotland who have won probably more titles up there than he has had hot dinners where success is a fact of life year in year out. We seen Celtic get demolished in Europe by an average side from a league a notch below England with more competition than Scotland but easy enough for the few big guns over there. Is he unable to learn or does he believe he knows it all already a victim of his own success , and if he fails at spurs and blows his big chance in the premier league by failing to adapt to and realise that you cannot bluff your way to the top and you will be punished mercilessly and remorselessly by greatness.
Didn't disagree with anything here. The funny thing is Ange is doing a great job for what he's doing. Spurs are the 2nd best team in the league with the ball for my money, what he's limiting them too is working - he's just not being a manager. There's stubborn & stubborn, you can be principled & still make compromises, Guardiola's done it every season since he came to England. I've got no doubt they'll continue to be a more than decent & very pleasing team on the eye with him, but they'll always have a ceiling he'll never break. They'll all see it eventually, some Spurs fans will take longer than others to get it, but in time they'll all come to terms with him being the obstacle in their way of meaningful progress.
The only thing preventing Spurs from being successful is that they are Spurs. This will always be the case with them even their fans know it deep down.
Tottenham is where you go when you are and professional footballer and you are ok finishing fourth. They would probably finish second without man city, Liverpool or arsenal
Fun analysis, great content (as always). Off topic: where did you get the poster from? The night over the mountains? I love the style. Can you let me know? It's awesome!
This is just a reflection of our ownership, we are commercial club not a footballing one. Thats why Mourinho and Conte got sacked. Ange is just Levy's yes man.
This Spurs side is an all-or-nothing prospect - to win, they need to manage a high-energy suffocating press to protect their high line and they need to convert a good percentage the many-but-often-not-great chances they create. When they fail at either of those endeavours they're very vulnerable. This is compounded by having a squad without enough players of the right profile and quality to allow for frequent rotation, and the decision to buy young players for the future over this past transfer window. So, they probably won't be consistent achievers until they bulk up their squad depth and bring new players up to speed on Ange-ball. Until then, they're only a few injuries or spells of exhaustion away from embarrassing losses. That said, when they're on it, they're great to watch and hard to stop. If I were a Tottenham supporter I'd be much more confident of fixing the squad depth issues over time, than of believing that the team are playing a system that can never succeed.
I’m no where near any Ange out allegations, but while I want to give him time, and I think he is hammering Spurs for mistakes with their high line within the next few seasons after a squad that’s his I need to see that the problem is just players getting used to the system. It’s complicated to play a good high line, and it takes years of signings so I’m confident but I need to see progress.
Spurs from 2005 to 2025 are at a position where Liverpool was from 1993 to 2013 or so. Although Pool at least had one miraculous UCL during that time but even Spurs had one memorable UCL run
No, just no! 4 League Cups, 2 FA Cups, a Uefa Cup, (1 of each in one season) a UCL, a UCL final defeat and 4 actual title challenges. Spurs 1 league Cup, one title challenge and 1 UCL final. Maybe not our greatest period, but we lap Spurs in the periods you're comparing, dude.
@@wdredhe's talking about pre-Jurgen Klopp Liverpool the dates are right there mate, the banter era when Liverpool were mid table fodder. The miraculous UCL title mentioned is the 2005 Istanbul triumph over AC Milan.
@wdred A year prior to Pool, Porto won UCL. that 2003 to 2005 span was open for anyone to win. What 4 title challenge? Pool had one 2nd place finish in that entire 20 year span. They had brilliant teams but struggled to compete in league. Winning FA Cup isn't even a big deal. Last year ManUtd won. who gives af. Even Portsmouth and Wigan have won in last 20 years or so. Main thing is winning a PL and Liverpool SUCKKED throughout that 20 year span even after having some great players
I think obviously, they are great Pressing and they need to keep that and simply work on defense. May be temporarily score a couple goals early then switch to defensive play until they can get real defenders!
I'm a tottenham supporter. I've read that spurs are the worst kind of bad team because they're almost good. The team has disappointed me time and time again but this is my club and I'll continue to support and hope beyond hope that we'll be a great team someday. Tottenham till they kill me, tottenham till I die. COYS!!!
Spurs has always been run as a brand rather than a football club. That’s the simplest reason why they don’t win trophies. Would you rather finish 6th and win a trophy or finish 4th and secure extra money even though you’ll still win nothing next season? For Daniel levy, it’s an obvious decision
Don't forget the time when Spurs were down to 9 men against Chelsea but continued to play an extremely high line nonetheless, and everyone applauded them for their naivety. While I appreciate Ange for being a purist in his football philosophy, not being able to adapt to the situation (tactically and mentally) is not going to win you any titles at the highest level. Even the high flying Spurs side during the Poch era knew how to dig deep and defend with their lives when the situation calls for it.
Everyone please kindly keep the comment section clean, not everyday that he could comfort himself from the fact that United is united in the last decade.

You consistently upload great videos. I've been following you for a long time and you're one of the best people I've never met, whatever meaning that holds. As a fellow United fan, your videos make me cry and keep me sane at the same time. Keep it up!
You're by far my favourite football TH-camr!
0:29 ya Manchester United 1st ten Hag season
Fantastic videos back to back Tinashe,
This is the 2nd shout ever for a membership offer I have ever actually been interested in, and while I would love to... I am but a broke first year college student 🙃, so unfortunately 😔 I have nothing to pay with. I promise, the day I do have an income, you will be my second ever online payment of sorts for anything. Your videos are that amazing. Thanks for the double upload this week btw
Great vid again. I think you should do the membership thing. You make the best football content ive seen on the app, and many fans of the channel would love to support you especially if it means more content
you're awesome, keep making these vids and we'll all be right behind u :D
Oooo, id honestly be down with the pole idea for premier league games. Allowing comments for people to banter and defend their vote. I’ve been watching you for a while and would love to support any ideas you have for more viewer engagement. Keep up the good work man, loving the videos 👍
Quick question. What happened to the wolves? I mean yeah they were never top of the league, but no wins after 7 games...
They have Gary O’Neil at the helm
I picked them to go down before the season. They keep selling their best players without adequately replacing them. Neto and Killman this summer
Theyve had to play arsenal, chelsea, liverpool, villa, brighton and newcastle already. That doesnt help
It's far more that 7 game if you add last season,not help that they sell their best player and buy nobody decent to replace them
Based on individual talent, Spurs easily fit into the top 4 of the league. The thing is, talent is not enough as there's a big problem. I know, I know the style they play is pleasure to watch at times but.. it lacks something and that something makes the difference between talented players and winners. All the great coaches know that sometimes, you just have to be ruthless to get the win. That means anything can and should be sacrificed if it increases your chance to win. Mourinho - 3 champ leagues won mostly through ruthless defensive efficiency. Last spring, Ancelotti let City have the ball at home, they received 3 goals but... everything single time they reached the final third on the counter they were very, very dangerous. So they too scored 3 goals and later on qualified with a bit of luck. You do what you have to do win. Arsenal vs City - same thing. Arsenal vs Spurs - same thing. Despite the lack of trophies, Arteta is becoming a great coach, winning something big sooner or later feels inevitable.
The big problem for Spurs is Postecoglu - he is too inflexible, perhaps too old to change his ways, to adapt. His players were finished in the second half, they had no steam, they just couldn't keep the relentless press going. He should have seen this and he should've prepared a plan during the break. Unless he starts adapting, unless he prepares a real Plan B, Spurs will continue to be plagued by inconsistency and, eventually, he will get sacked.
I hope so. Inflexibility and a lack of humility at PL level. Yes you've won everywhere you've gone, mate. But you've not gone anywhere truly world-class. And yes...he's too old to learn I feel. We need a young dynamic manager not an aged flower power football hippie. It's just not cricket.
what a yap sesh, no stats or metrics only vibes
@@judebachelet7822 like stats and metrics aren't more often used to illustrated falsehoods. When you're long enough in the tooth, your "vibes" are usually correct, son. Been watching coaches come and go since the 80s. You learn to spot patterns.
I clicked for a hate watch
Stayed for the analysis🔥
Ange is a great coach but his stubbornness may become his downfall
woo hoo 🎉🎉
Back to back videos.
Awesome stuff bro
I like the idea of week to week stuff. Love the vids man!
Best find last year was this channel
We've defeated city and villa since
4:11 as a brighton supporter i can't tell which team is said to be better defensively between those two. Both of them made egregious defending mistakes against us, some of which were eerily similar. who do people say has the better defense? Tottenham? honest question
Please take sponsorships, man
I love you, and if you do the membership thing, I will be the first in line on it with bells on
But I'm poor and can't promise I would stay on
Waiting for the Chelsea video…plus new channel format seems nice
Another banger from tinashe I'm a Arsenal fan but I appreciate what you do content wise regardless of outcome of matches
It's always frustrating when your team plays horrible, but I like to step back and look at the overall picture. I think spurs are progressing in the right direction and with more signings and the young talents like Bergvall, Grey, Mickey Moore and others, I'm excited for the future of the club
Tinashe is a top bloke, great content too of course
To be fair ,every team looks exhausted ,even those that are winning ,the pace of games can be painfullly slow ,or fizzle out into one tean defending their box and praying for a corner.
Will there even be another cycle of football?
I AM DEFINITELY LOCKED INTO THAT SHOW FORMAT👀, can’t wait to see what you can provide in the future 🙏
Love the soprano cameo
We care Tinashe
really enjoy your content man
I appreciate the analysis, and I agree we have some defensive frailties that we need to improve on.
However, despite the embarassing choke I don't think Brighton is a great example of that, and I believe is maybe counter to your point of not relying on stats to make a judgement (the scoreline in this case). 2 or (you could argue 3) of their goals came from individual errors, rather than being a wider systemic problem. Additionally our lack of cutting edge in the first half kept Brighton hanging around. We didn't take our foot off the gas and continued to carve them open at that point but couldn't take those chances.
All that's to say I think from a tactical perspective Ange coached what could have easily been a 4-0 win on another day, but that's the way it goes sometimes, tactics only get you so far, you can't always legislate for the variance of football.
On the American football side of things it's been engaging to do a channel group for match pick-em. Starting off episodes with "40% of you thought New York could beat Seattle" or whatnot. Bragging rights certainly drive engagement.
Love the vid!
This intro!
Iconic.
I am not surprised that spurs are as effective this season, they have a core of players that are very good there for a few years and have added only extra quality in the first team and excellent young recruits with a lot of potential for the future, excluding the sale of harry kane which IMO was a great deal for spurs and I am not so disappointed as he left for personal reasons after being offered an extension.
And I am doubly not disappointed as we are scoring from everywhere and even if we don't have a world class 9 that is breaking records and setting the bar higher and higher every season we can still be successful.
There is only one harry kane and because we don't have him also means that only one club has harry kane and I think that he was poorly supported by a floundering and ageing Bayern Munich attack that was out of its depth in Europe against a mediocre however well organised Aston villa defence.
I am never disappointed being a spurs fan but I do find it underwhelming to be so near to major titles and see them slip through our fingers time and again.
I think if Ange is seriously going to compete at this level he needs to be more involved in what is actually transpiring in front of him on the pitch.
From the touchline he has the best position to direct the game as he sees it.
I am aware that he is somewhat distracted from the players and probably expects them to understand his philosophy and so if they are failing it is because they are out of sync, lose concentration or do not maintain focus on the pitch.
That is a fair assessment to expect from your squad , I am not going to argue they should shirk responsibility and switch off.
The problem with ange-ball is that when it is maintained to the greatest degree and manifested by total domination on the ball it is extremely effective when you have good talent up front however inferior to the previous personnel.
There are two major flaws in this philosophy.
1. It is almost 100% certain that a player will lose the ball and we suffer an overloaded counter where we are scrambling to get back and cover from an advanced position or we lose it deep and our high line is flat, meaning we are easily breached even with more defenders.
2. players will always suffer lapses or tiredness, expecting the team to play on in such a high risk fast tempo while completely comfortable and in charge in games against high quality is not only 'greedy' as you say, but it is also naive from the management to hard wire the team in order to keep up the pressure.
I know Ange has managed at big clubs in smaller leagues but the premier league is a shark tank of some of the best talent in the world and I am sorry to say that his game management and strategic stubbornness cost us that game,
We beat a good MU team in Old Trafford two weeks ago and to be honest no disrespect to MU I sort of expected us to beat them, not so easily or comfortably but the odds were stacked in our favour.
Unfortunately we went to Brighton and although they are competitive they appeared out of the tunnel and immediately wratcheted up the pressure and pushed us onto the back foot. If Ange wants to succeed at more than Trying to play his way then he needs to start learning quickly that his game plan is not foolproof and as we are always outnumbered up front or at the back there is a higher chance we score less from more chances and concede more from less given chances.
That is the simple arithmetic of the conundrum.
If we had instructed to drop off and contain the onslaught we are also capable to play that way.
Ange was overconfident in his plan, he didn't suss the danger, complained that we were too casual and in an absurd and bizarre substitution he brings on a defensive midfielder to shore up the rear after we go 3 down.
This is when we need to go in to top gear and batter down the gates and not at the beginning.
It's as if he is pathologically ignoring his own stupidity and reasoning we have lost our minds and need to batten down the hatches to escape a thrashing.
Sarr should have been on at the start, or at least half time when Brighton were plotting our downfall.
Bentancur is a good player in attack or with an accomplice in the middle,
But he is not going to hold the line on his own against a rampaging Brighton.
I admire his bravery of selection and it paid off handsomely in the first half.
However I think we need a more measured balance to our game structure either intrinsically or inherently to manage these erratic seismic shifts in scorelines.
He needs to be more involved from the dugout and question his own problems because if he believes that he is not responsible and has invulnerability because of his success at lesser leagues where the volume of talent is not as high and with all due respect he was at the most successful and biggest club in Scotland who have won probably more titles up there than he has had hot dinners where success is a fact of life year in year out.
We seen Celtic get demolished in Europe by an average side from a league a notch below England with more competition than Scotland but easy enough for the few big guns over there.
Is he unable to learn or does he believe he knows it all already a victim of his own success , and if he fails at spurs and blows his big chance in the premier league by failing to adapt to and realise that you cannot bluff your way to the top and you will be punished mercilessly and remorselessly by greatness.
Tinashe generational run🗣️🔥🔥
If they figure it out, it’ll be with Ange. The players mentality will be fine in the long run, still worried about levy though.
Make a Brighton video bro, your analysis is very good 🤘
Didn't disagree with anything here.
The funny thing is Ange is doing a great job for what he's doing. Spurs are the 2nd best team in the league with the ball for my money, what he's limiting them too is working - he's just not being a manager. There's stubborn & stubborn, you can be principled & still make compromises, Guardiola's done it every season since he came to England. I've got no doubt they'll continue to be a more than decent & very pleasing team on the eye with him, but they'll always have a ceiling he'll never break.
They'll all see it eventually, some Spurs fans will take longer than others to get it, but in time they'll all come to terms with him being the obstacle in their way of meaningful progress.
The only thing preventing Spurs from being successful is that they are Spurs. This will always be the case with them even their fans know it deep down.
started watching the PL 3 years ago and just randomly picked the Spurs to be my team. I quickly learned about the memes. All i know is pain
Yah, pre-match analysis or polls would be great👍
Tottenham is where you go when you are and professional footballer and you are ok finishing fourth. They would probably finish second without man city, Liverpool or arsenal
Or if you want to showcase your talents before going to a better club
Fun analysis, great content (as always).
Off topic: where did you get the poster from? The night over the mountains? I love the style. Can you let me know? It's awesome!
You're good my man a really insightful video
“It’s who we are mate”-Strange Postacoglu
I actually fell to my knees at " snatched defeat from the jaws of victory"😂😭🤣
Waiting for you to make a video about Chelsea's resurgence
Spurs need to get rid of daniel levy 😂😂
This is just a reflection of our ownership, we are commercial club not a footballing one. Thats why Mourinho and Conte got sacked. Ange is just Levy's yes man.
There’s a reason why his name is Ange Imposter No Clue
If you are doing a spurs video I know a Chelsea one is coming. I been waiting 👀
This Spurs side is an all-or-nothing prospect - to win, they need to manage a high-energy suffocating press to protect their high line and they need to convert a good percentage the many-but-often-not-great chances they create. When they fail at either of those endeavours they're very vulnerable. This is compounded by having a squad without enough players of the right profile and quality to allow for frequent rotation, and the decision to buy young players for the future over this past transfer window. So, they probably won't be consistent achievers until they bulk up their squad depth and bring new players up to speed on Ange-ball. Until then, they're only a few injuries or spells of exhaustion away from embarrassing losses.
That said, when they're on it, they're great to watch and hard to stop. If I were a Tottenham supporter I'd be much more confident of fixing the squad depth issues over time, than of believing that the team are playing a system that can never succeed.
It would be cool if you made a Discord. I’d join it in a heartbeat. Easily gets the interaction levels you’re looking for.
Also beard looks sick.
I’m no where near any Ange out allegations, but while I want to give him time, and I think he is hammering Spurs for mistakes with their high line within the next few seasons after a squad that’s his I need to see that the problem is just players getting used to the system. It’s complicated to play a good high line, and it takes years of signings so I’m confident but I need to see progress.
If you've played FM you'd know a constant high press against a good team away is a very bad idea
Spurs from 2005 to 2025 are at a position where Liverpool was from 1993 to 2013 or so. Although Pool at least had one miraculous UCL during that time but even Spurs had one memorable UCL run
Nope Liverpool a won europa league, fa cups league cups, Liverpool atleast won trophies during their banter era
No, just no! 4 League Cups, 2 FA Cups, a Uefa Cup, (1 of each in one season) a UCL, a UCL final defeat and 4 actual title challenges. Spurs 1 league Cup, one title challenge and 1 UCL final. Maybe not our greatest period, but we lap Spurs in the periods you're comparing, dude.
@@wdredhe's talking about pre-Jurgen Klopp Liverpool the dates are right there mate, the banter era when Liverpool were mid table fodder. The miraculous UCL title mentioned is the 2005 Istanbul triumph over AC Milan.
@@the2ndhour469 Atleast liverpool at that time actually won domestic cups and a ucl 🤣
Not even comparable at all
@wdred A year prior to Pool, Porto won UCL. that 2003 to 2005 span was open for anyone to win. What 4 title challenge? Pool had one 2nd place finish in that entire 20 year span. They had brilliant teams but struggled to compete in league. Winning FA Cup isn't even a big deal. Last year ManUtd won. who gives af. Even Portsmouth and Wigan have won in last 20 years or so. Main thing is winning a PL and Liverpool SUCKKED throughout that 20 year span even after having some great players
I wish the title was “the” tottenham
I think obviously, they are great Pressing and they need to keep that and simply work on defense. May be temporarily score a couple goals early then switch to defensive play until they can get real defenders!
Bro please do the ucl matchdays videos like before...really liked them
I hope this chanel gets 1m subs
Would be cool to have a transfer or suggestions forum for how managers do for a match
It happened again, it happened agaaaaaaain
I'm a tottenham supporter. I've read that spurs are the worst kind of bad team because they're almost good. The team has disappointed me time and time again but this is my club and I'll continue to support and hope beyond hope that we'll be a great team someday. Tottenham till they kill me, tottenham till I die. COYS!!!
"man u sends their regards" 🤣🤣🤣
I'm up for the Idea personally. If it means getting to hear more from you.
I like the Idea.
"It's who we are, mate."
Once said by a famous Italian:
“It’s the history of da Tottenham”
Can you do a video on Liverpool soon and please bring a poll of top 4 matches of the weekend and whichever wins gets a vid
Bruh get these vids sponsored asap. We want you to get paid so you can make more vids. Much love
Spurs has always been run as a brand rather than a football club. That’s the simplest reason why they don’t win trophies. Would you rather finish 6th and win a trophy or finish 4th and secure extra money even though you’ll still win nothing next season? For Daniel levy, it’s an obvious decision
Don't forget the time when Spurs were down to 9 men against Chelsea but continued to play an extremely high line nonetheless, and everyone applauded them for their naivety. While I appreciate Ange for being a purist in his football philosophy, not being able to adapt to the situation (tactically and mentally) is not going to win you any titles at the highest level. Even the high flying Spurs side during the Poch era knew how to dig deep and defend with their lives when the situation calls for it.
Everyone please kindly keep the comment section clean, not everyday that he could comfort himself from the fact that United is united in the last decade.
