    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Van de Ven has no competition, and he knows it. So he'll play as many games as possible. Ditto Vicario. But I would hope we bench Romero and start Dragusin for a few games, on his favored right side. Ditto Spence over Udogie. But Postecoglou does seem to have his 'favorites/untouchables', and...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    That has always been the case though. Every single game, Porro is tucked narrow so the opposition left winger has the freedom of the city to waltz into that quadrant. I don't know why we set up that way, but clearly there's a reason why we do it all the time.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I woudn't say he has fewer tools to work with. Brighton have spent an absolute shedload to back him - aren't they the highest spenders in all of Europe this season? But yes, whatever Hurzeler said at half time floored us, and Postecoglou was absolutely outcoached in that second half.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    After the third goal, Hurzeler jumped out of his seat and roared his players on, pointing this way and that to where he wanted them to be. Postecoglou stood there, hands in his pockets, face frozen, just like he did for all three goals. Didn't bring on a single sub until we had already thrown...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    That issue has predated Postecoglou, and predated Conte, Nuno, Mourinho, Poch, Sherwood, AVB, Harry... ...off the top of my head, I cannot remember the last time we had a really vocal leader on the pitch who openly tells some of the others they're hiding. Even the ones who are famed as leaders...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Suggest we all calm down, and take the rough with the smooth. We all enjoyed the last couple of weeks where his strengths were on full display - now a day like today comes along and reminds you of his glaring limitations, too. As I've always said, we will win roughly more than we lose. We will...

    OMT: Mighty Tottenham Hotspurs vs Brentford - Sat, 21 Sept, 3pm

    As I discussed with @Bedfordspurs the other day, there's always tradeoffs to going for a second choice on grounds of him being cheaper. In Vic's case, we gain a slightly better shot stopper than Raya, but one with much, much poorer command of his box compared to Raya, who is generally assured...

    Johan Lange - Technical Director

    Agree with most of that, but I will just point out that there are multiple ways you can do data-driven signings. If a player is a superstar and all the metrics point to him making an impact in the side, then he's the data-backed candidate, even if he costs a lot. The way we seem to think of...

    Cristian Romero

    Welcome to the modern game mate. You can complain about it, or you can meet the players where they are, because they now expect these things as standard. Mourinho complained about modern players and their demands and needs for constant support and validation. Got him nowhere. The game has...

    Cristian Romero

    Edul also says he was feverish, which if true would explain the slow passing/delayed reactions. As for why he deleted/un-retweeted it, that's possible. Or he just doesn't want to get in trouble with Postecoglou or the club, who knows.

    Johan Lange - Technical Director

    Absolutely it's all Levy's fault. Nothing to do with losing to Arsenal though - as my fan club on here likes to angrily shout about, I say the same thing every month, and have been since roughly 2014. ;)

    Johan Lange - Technical Director

    To be fair, not like Paratici was incapable of making those signings. He was the one who brought in Udogie - he was also the one who brought in Bryan Gil originally iirc (one of his first signings), though that one obviously didn't work out. Also bought Kulusevski who was, what, 20 when we go...

    Cristian Romero

    That's your opinion mate. Not fact, and clearly Romero disagrees. There must be a reason every other club flies their players back while we let them figure out their own way back - we're not being smart by being the only ones not to do something everyone else sees as standard. Edul suggests it...

    Cristian Romero

    Yes. Gaston Edul says we are the only Premier League team to not bring our players back ourselves, and this is in part why Romero is unhappy. Tom Barclay above also confirms - "...but some clubs do organise private travel at their own cost to get their players back quicker. Spurs generally...
