Didn't Ange say Year 1 is just the fundamentals of the system only and Year 2 incorporates the resr (or something like that) hence year 1 is the struggle.
isnt doing the basic things right so makes no sense, which is what fundamentals means, still hasn't addressed the goalie issue on corners, still hasn't addressed how bad we are defending set pieces, still isn't bothered about getting champions league, when u get champions league u attract better players, still isn't bothered about exploiting the opposing teams vulnerabilities , and so on...
How come ANGELA IS THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS WORLD THAT THINKS TIMO WEINER IS A GREAT FOOTBALLER ...????? ANSWERS ON A POSTCARD TO THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM. N17
Timo is pants so is richy we r doomed

😂😂😂😂
Bang on being adaptive mate. I suspect ange knows this. Strategic tactics are required for 2024. Welcome to the PL
To be fair to Ange, both Jose & Conte said they had real problems with the players being unwilling/ or maybe just incapable of executing their game plans. This seems to be a recurring theme.
You've nailed exactly how i feel on our situation. I don't see how this system stops goals. We've gone from 11 men behind the ball to charge of the light brigade going forward. Don't get me wrong , I've enjoyed the majority of this season more than the last few years but going forward like this isn't a league winning tactic. It just needs reigning in some. I don't want us to be a 1 trick pony that can only play 1 way.
it's like a modern version of Ossie's football - hoping we score more than we concede... that works if you have clinical finishers and top notch defenders - on Sat we saw the opposite of that 😞
Yes! We’ve gone from one obstinate manager to another - just that one was defensive and the other attacking. There’s got to be a happy medium.
@@guamie The inverted FBs are not Full Timers defenders. There are only 3 defenders in this Team- Goalie + 2 CBs. One only when the 2 CBs are upfield/
I can see Calafiori putting Destiny on the bench and covering for VDV too. I think he'd be a great signing.
We need someone to control the play better from midfield, thought that was bissouma at the start of the season, but he’s not been the same since returning from Afcon
Playing high line you need a lot of energy from the players which is currently our huge problem. Watch the like of Bayer 04, how effective they are defending with their frontline or just compare our team right now to our first 10 games. We are too slow moving as a unit, pushing or retreating, lacking of movement as we used to ran like a mad men as well as the fear of playing risky pass, they don't want to lose the ball because they're too lazy or too tired to win back the possession. You can blame Ange for this reason, but we all know the quality of the squad we have is not there yet.
Sean, the problem isn't the defenders. The problem is the system. The line is far too high. We need to drop back 5 or 10 yards, still playing a high line. The halfway line is not a good idea because it gives us little chance of getting an offside. Just my opinion
With the exception of Saturday we have only conceded 2 goals from the break on our “ high line “
Exactly, we have a world cup winner, a centre back who is the fastest in the league, and as backup another centreback bayern were trying to sign. The system is the problem, not the players.
For Isak's first goal it was 3 on 2 in our favor and Udogie was in possession, but lost it. Porro was jogging back waiting for the transition instead of getting behind the ball. This is not the system this is just poor defending, poor positioning, poor effort. The second was a straight up mistake from Porro to gift it to Gordon in the box. The third goal was the only on attributable to the high line but we're two nil down chasing the game at that point. Poor defending is not part of the system.
@@guamie Exactly, it's just not balanced, it's like a more cultured version of Ossie's system in the early nineties. And it's so easy to play against, soak up a bit of pressure for 10 minutes, then the gaps will be exposed for you to play balls into and be through on goal with a few passes. Sometimes you can get away with it because you have much better players (i.e. the Forest game, which at times we still looked like we could lose, if Chris Wood scores that second, who knows), but against decent opposition it's a problem. When our manager is getting easily tactically owned by Gary O'neill you have a problem
With Calafiori… I think his versatility to play as a CB and LB (even his style of play is suited to an inverted LB role) would be huge for an Ange squad.
26 points from 10 games at the start and 34 points from 22 games since. We've been a mid-table team since game 10. Conte's first season we turned from a mid-table team after 10 games into a top 4 team and were until the wheels came off. I still trust in Ange but at the moment we're only being saved from mid-table reality by those first 10 games.
And if you look closely. We got away with a lot in the first 10 games.
2 goals against Sheff Utd in last minute and VAR mess v Dippers
@@grahammerry7031 You can prove/disprove almost anything with such a tiny sample size.
For example Spurs had a dead cert penalty not given against Sheffield United before they scored a goal from out of nowhere, which had it been given would have led to Spurs strolling to the win.
Yes we got away with one against the scousers, but on the flip side we had a penalty given against us at the emptycrates that should never have been awarded.
@aaronbeat1136 We got torn to shreds at the emptycrates as Haaland had an off day.
I'm happy to stick with Ange and fingers crossed Levy backs him with some new blood
@@grahammerry7031 When I said the Emptycrates I was talking about the emirates, where we were certainly not torn to shreds.
As for the citeh game we were decimated by injuries at that time, and they still only had 4 shots on target.
The game was also sandwiched between the west ham and villa defeats, both of which we were clearly the better team, but they both did a classic smash and grab.
@aaronbeat1136 When we define " better team" do we mean had most possession? or do we mean had most goals or most clinical finishing?
Against Newcastle we had most possession at about 70% but we're easily drubbed 4-0.
The game is about all facets of play.
Structure, tactics, application, concentration and energy.
Sometimes bring the worst team gets results.
Take Leicester City when they won the league. They had the least amount of possession of any champions but had a way of playing which paid dividends.
It's the goals scored verses the goals conceded, always has been and always will be.
Jose at Chelsea has the record amount of points and lowest goals conceded and scored well over 100 to win the league.
Possession isn't everything
Agree on Dewsbury Hall
We need to stop the easy goals. Why not play Romero as a CDM and bring in Dragusin as the right CB. So play a 4 1 2 3 formation. Romero would be the perfect number 6 and we can even drop to back 3 if under pressure
I don't know if Romero would be the perfect #6, but I'd be happy to see Ange try it out for a game or two this season
BAP is like a chef that refuses to make an omelette when he only has eggs in the kitchen but insists on trying to make a steak pie.
Ange has already clearly stated that it is playing ethos first followed by strategy and tactics once that ethos is ingrained. This was always going to be a potentially painful season. Yes, Saturday was painful, and it truly was. I hated every second of those 90 mins, but I have to believe that it will only get better next season with some further additions and some tactical maturity. This performance was about the players (all of them on this occasion) having a shocking day at the office! After 60 years of support "In Ange I trust!"
Spot on,all these negative Nancy's can't seem to grasp the facts. either there to lazy or stupid to understand the process.
I believe that Ange is doing a great job considering we lost Kane.we went to Newcastle and had most of the possession, and we’re creating a lot of chances.when he brings in more quality players next season things will be better.Coys.
You are banking on Mr.Levy playing his part....
Whatever quality we bring in, our rivals will bring in the same level or better. What we need is a manager with a balanced system who doesn’t need the world’s best players to play it, aka the Potch era. Thats why I suspect this system will never really be successful, and we will just get found out more and more, and once the players lose confidence it’s all over
What a load of crap@@leesmusic1
@@terrymeddings5563 Is that all you got? Come back with constructive arguments, what are you 7 years old? "thats crap, waaaa!!", you're better than that I'm sure
Totally agree with your concerned thoughts around the One way is the only way with Ange. It does appear that proud stubbornness is leaving a huge flaw to be exposed with ease.
I don't think we can persist with Porro at Right back, great going forward, clueless defending. He rarely is aware of impending counter threats, leaves huge space on the flanks, if he gets back invariably he is too narrow and effectively it makes us wide open
In point of fact I believe this inverted full back game is our biggest problem and needs to be changed. Destiny looks a player who can develop more his reading and reaction to counters and improving his defensive game, but unless we get a better defensive right back and cut out the inverted full back tactics or scrub full backs and play 3 at the back then we are always going to be prone defensively
You are spot on that we shone early in the season before teams sussed out our game, but as much as injuries affected us it rather hid the fact that it wasn't so much the injuries as the fact that teams were finding ways to counter our attacking threat and take advantage of our defensive frailties
But it's not just that we are too slow to move the ball out from the back, Vic great shot stopper is constantly looking for the short pass out the back and then it goes to Romero who stands still or ambles along and then finally passes across the back to Mickey or a back and forth to Biss or Hoj and meanwhile again we play into the oppositions hands by allowing them time to get everyone behind the ball and organised
There are lots of weaknesses in our tactics and the way we play and unless we move forward quicker have better defensive balance, learn how to deal with high balls into the box, improve our passing and find ways to carve openings instead of pass the parcel we are going to suffer more not get better
I don't think the issue is having plan B's or C's -nice to have options and there will be games where plan A isn't working but our current plan A is flawed and Postie needs to change it, change the balance of defence and attack, the PL is not the SPL hopefully Postie is starting to realise that what might have worked well there isn't the answer here. Of course trying to change things at this stage of the season has it's own risks although some things need to be tightened up on, but if he doesn't change things in summer and wants to continue with his current game plan I really don't see him being here at the end of next season, which would be a shame in many ways, but not if he is overly dogmatic
By far and away the best Spurs CZcamsr at the moment and has perfectly summed up the situation that other Ange supporting channels seem to be ignoring, who are working on the premise that everything will work out fine without considering how that will happen. We have never had a better set of defenders and GK since Potch but we still concede a huge amount of goals, without a corresponding number being scored the other end.
We have got worse as the season has progressed as teams have worked us out. The problem Ange has is that he has boxed himself into a corner with his "this is the way we play" mantra and is unlikely to change. I would be amazed if he is still there at the end of next season.
A tall and physical defensive midfielder and a tall physical centre forward
Guirassy from Stuttgart is the Kane replacement we need, 25 goals this season, second best striker in Bundesliga this season. I think his release clause is low too.
And how it that going to counter us playing with defenders on the half way line and a ball over the top?
Spot on, every word. I’ve been saying this for a while - we’ve not improved during the course of this season. We’re getting worse the longer it goes, if anything. I’ll “trust the process” when I see some actual progress and that we’re starting to solve some very obvious problems.
If we had a better quality of player in certain positions, we'd be better at things like corners and other areas that we are weaker at the moment.
Ange is trying to drill the players to play his style. Once they get that he can start to flex it according to circumstances
Hasn't Ange addressed this himself? I'm sure he said this year they've just been working on their setup and once that's bedded in we'll start to look at exploitative measures.
Sean, we aren't who we are yet. He's addressed the defence now the midfield and forward line needs work. Brian Clough didn't do tactical work until the team were on point with how he wanted to play. When the team are on point with the philosophy then the tactical tweaks will start. It really isn't uncommon. You think klopp and pep are running tactical sessions all week?
I'd LOVE to see you to have this exact conversation with Ange and get his reaction to the excellent points you're making.
The tactics and team set up are an issue - How can a team, we the GK and back 4 we have be conceding the volume of chances / goals we do. Ange needs to adapt otherwise it will not work
Ange WILL change next season
Great Vid!
If Ange plans to stick with his system all the time, then the only way to stem the goals is by keeping the ball even better and recover more quickly when we lose it.
This can only be done by signing some really top class players in the summer.
A proper DM who can screen the defence, LCB/LB for cover, and two attacking players who can bring 20+ goal contributions are a must.
I also wouldn't mind an attacking midfielder who can pick up the ball on the halfway line and carry it 30 yards before smashing it into the net.
Sean this topic and this video is a prism through which to view the whole dilemma about Ange and his philosophy. You’ve hit the nail on the head….. he won’t even consider the possibility of hiring a set piece coach. The man is stubborn to the point of being obnoxious
I stumbled upon your daily walk posts and just from a football fan POV I do enjoy them. This one though is a whole other level of thoughtful ponderings.
As a Villa fan, I have stood back in admiration observing the metamorphosis that the club, players and the fans are going through under Ange. Especially as there are parallels with Emery and his effect on our club. Maybe this is too fanciful for some, but in this cynical age of too much money in the game Ange, like Emery has given the joy of football back to their fans.
Like many, I've been fascinated by Ange's philosophy, his stubbornness and how that has translated to the football field. I've enjoyed your football and the challenge you pose to your opponents. So imagine my surprise at your comments that Ange never considers tactics or opponents 😮 It actually made me lol in surprise mostly as its literally the complete opposite to Emery, who meets with his squad daily, sometimes more than once to go over theory, tactics before putting that into drill practice on the training field. The results of which are seen every week as I have never seen a manager improve so many players (ALL) in such a short period of time.
But its not all rosey. Two examples, the yen and yang: you have the tactical masterclass that beat Arsenal (twice) and ManCity to then the tactical overthinking he is known for, the out-of-the-blue tweeking of team formations. Changing things so much the players lose their focus, fluidity and cannot execute. With the result that we get spanked by a brilliant Spurs performance or Liverpool earlier in the season. Other losses like letting in 3 Brentford goals in 9 mins is just pure lack of concentration and almost laughable. As fans we are a work in progress so accept these odd wacky results as we implicitly trust Emery and his vision.
Sorry, this is sooo long, if you are still with me, bless your cotton socks as my Nan wld say🙏 I do agree with your concerns. I think your squad is a level above ours in some areas which in retrospect has given him this fantastic base to work from. But to expect them to be able to hit a ten level performance, flat out for 90+ for ALL matches isn't sustainable. You have to have the ability to adjust tactics before and during a match while still adhering to Ange's philosophy surely. Perhaps this is the hard lesson he has to learn as the Prem will take great pleasure in teaching him some humility.
sorry this is going to be unpopular but Romeo is the problem, he slows the game when the opposition are out of formation and allows them to get back. Drop him to the bench bring in the dragon. This is the only thing that has not been changed.
Imagine osimhen at spurs, timo loaned back ,Pedro Neto,eze and a nice replacement for udogie so two people can fill lb role
Or Antoine Griezmann at spurs
If my memory serves me well😁. Ange has said a few times that, he is concentrating on improving the club mentality by pushing forward attacking possession based football, which we have lacked since poch. I think next season he will have a proper plan B, at least I hope he does😀. So this season has been mostly a psychological battle, next season we should see the improvement squad wide...
We keep the ball better at the top end of the pitch to help us at the back. City and Arsenal also play high lines, to suffocate the opponents.
🎯
Yep we need to stop losing possession so easily. Most games our possession is passing it around sideways like a LVG team. We need to maintain possession better and in a 4-3-3 we need an Elite number 6. Our pressing from the frontline hasn't been as good either. City, liverpool, and Arse all try to win the ball back quick and maintain possession in the opponents 3rd of the pitch. We don't do that so well at the moment.
It's interesting what you spoke about concerning our overall approach to defending. Think Ange has to adapt where in possession we have an effective back three (between the CBs, a 6 and a FB) where one full back drops back when the other is forward. Also where that line is drawn can't just be the half way line when the opposition can just get the ball and ping it forward. The lack of a quality fwd is breaking our build up play and costing us chances. Son just can't play if he doesn't have space to exploit and Richy doesn't have a delicate enough touch to pass effectively.
Think we have improved overall but like you say, teams have figured our style and we're not adapting. Won't work at all next season.
Our ball possession doesn't equal controlling the game 😢
Really interesting video Sean. I share a lot of your frustrations. I think Ange is focusing at the moment on the basics and fundamentals of his system and then in preseason will move to tactical variations and focus. I’m aware he has said he does this usually at clubs. I kind of understand this view because I think the way we have played for 2-3 seasons has been so different. At the end of the season I guess we will see if Ange should have integrated tactical tweaks, changes or direction in sooner than after one whole season as the PL is a different animal. I’m staying calm for now but If I haven’t seen any difference in preseason I will be concerned.
Regarding recruitment, Lloyd kelly and KWP would be my only defensive signings this summer as I think we need to better squad depth with players more suited to the system. I take comfort in knowing that Ange has already stated he knows what he wants and we are reportedly getting a DM and a striker. I just hope they are of the appropriate quality and are close to elite or have elite qualities. I said before I’d like Ange to experiment with a 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 with Son and a new elite striker playing off each other and Madders or MGW (convinced he would be perfect for us) playing a Bellingham like role just behind them I think that could be a good option.
Part of me thinks Ange was reluctant to make tactical changes at half time because he has done that so much already. Within his book, Ange speaks about playing without fear and I think that he wanted to give the players a chance to show that they shouldn’t be fearful.
I hate to say we’re going backwards and it’s like watching conte and mourinio sides all over again
Tottenham also need to hire a new set piece coach!! we don't score enough from them and we concede too much.
I like the 6'2" lightening quick, Leipzig rb/cb Simakan. Football seems now to be an arms race of sorts for tall and robust players in certain positions, and I like Simakan considering this.
Or just don’t play with ridiculous tactics that other managers find a joy to play against and be a bit more balanced or at least have a plan b.
Basically we need Harry Kane!!! LoL!!!
ok, what major qualities has he got? imo heading, ball control, efficiency. we had 70% ball possession, and with newcastles press had one on one players upfield. If and a big If we had one or two extra high ball dribbling attackers, we'd break that easily. Most of our attackers are NOT ball driblers, they are good passers and they may be quick, but in the end that falls short. I still think that our attack is our weakest part of the team. Hence our midfield can get us to the other side of the field, and there we stop.
It frustrates me to see us playing horse shoe football so much, this system can only work with players that are willing to take risks. Our mentality is all wrong, PEH is the only player I see recently trying to play a killer pass. Even Maddison is playing it safe now. Why are we playing the easy pass so much?
A striker, Winger and Number 6 are a must buy. Isak showed on the weekend how important a proper striker is, with good holdup and movement. Son should not be playing in that role with his back to goal. Proved that under Conte so we shouldnt insist on it.
You don't need a winger, you need a centre-back, a defensive midfielder and a striker.
Sonny will start no matter what. He's too valuable to the marketing men
@@TshepoKotelo What CB starts ahead of VDV and Romero? Depth is all well and good, but we need to fix the first team
@@grahammerry7031 Needs to be outwide
@LPConde Agreed. So who's CF?
I don't say this often Sean I agree with you and I'm worried ange won't change going forward.
It's not all on him his system may work better if the midfield could maybe pass or win back a ball that and forwards who take their chances
Sean ...this manager needs to adapt his tactics (If he's got any) this high line with no midfield Ball winning is killing us😮..All teams sre doing is running straight us😮😮
It HAS to change...the manager has to adapt his tactics for the opposition or I don't think he'll last much longer 😮😮
The squad needs a solid no6 to protect is a step in the right direction. Need to sort out set piece situation we look so vulnerable
Hiya Sean. I Totally Agree With Your Analysis Of The Defensive Issues We Have. In Short, Without a Plan "B" We Are Looking Tactically Naive Which In All Honesty, Has Come Back To Bite Us In The Arse Far Too May Times This Year. Whilst I Appreciate Ange Has a Game Plan For Our Development, It Doesn't Appear To Include a Plan "B" Teams Like Newcastle For Example, Have Our Number And Now Know Precisely How To Exploit That Particular Weakness Which Also includes Defending Our Goalkeeper In Corner & Free Kick Situations. We All Know There Are Some Key Weaknesses In Our Team And I Genuinely Hope Ange Does Something About it Before He Becomes Another Managerial Statistic. That Would Be Such a Shame. He Just Needs To Include Another String To Our Bow And Provide Us With a Different Way Of Playing Against Certain Teams. Anywayzzzz, Keep Doing What You're Doing Matey And COYS. 👍
Spurs pass the ball round and round at the back in every game they play at home or away instead of clearing the ball up the field getting it away from danger.This also gives they opposing team time to get back and reorganize their defense.
Totally agree Sean. Ange is not a tactician just a motivator.
Players need to be told what to do, and have strategies to implement when 'PLAN A' doesn't work.
The players are just left to their own devices and have to figure things out for themselves.
Teamwork needs a manager who is like a general who can tactically change things up at the drop of a hat. We are just lucky that Micky and Cuti have struck up a good relationship, and Vicario has turned out to be a great goalkeeper.
Luck doesn't win you anything when you are relying on it all the time.
We have good enough players, but the players need proper systems and direction for different scenarios. For me Ange isn't the one to provide a confident team structure. He just hopes the players who get the nod will be sufficient to get the job done, and that's about it.
And that is why a lot of the substitutions don't make any sense. It's all flying by the seat of the pants stuff.
This is why I also make the comment that I believe Ryan Mason deserves a proper go at the top job. He has seen the best and worst of many managers, so he will definitely know what will work and what to avoid.
What a load of horse shit.you can't be that stupid can you?
Perhaps one way to defend better is to put more CB in the lineup like MC does. Imagine playing VDV in midfield and two other CB cover the ground behind him.
Tapsoba is still missing from this defence , or Todibo. We need the next defender to be able to put one of these on the bench to up the standard. Newcastle alone exposed our overestimation of Van de Ven
Hi Sean. The back 4 can be improved by raising quality of Porro and Romero or adding to squad. It's the midfield that aren't strong enough, not enough fight and too many mistakes. Same can be said for the forward line. Apart from Sonny and Johnson, just not strong enough. Biss, Bentancur, Lo Celso, Hojberg are not fit for purpose. The first 2 are squad players. Nothing wrong with plan A if everyone gets stuck in.
Will agree with most of what your saying Sean and yes Ange needs a plan B. Perhaps a 3-5-2 but for that we need a monster 6 and a top class 9 to pair with Sonny. Out best 3 CBs, with our current L&R backs as wing backs, no.6 - Bentancur with Sarr/ madders with Sonny and Santiago up front. Would love Kiessie as the 6.
Ps would love to hear you discuss this with Dave and Johnny
Our fans keep pointing to Klopp and Arteta's first seasons. Thats fine to compare. But if you look at the defense and GKs they had in thier first seasons compared to their best its much changed. Spurs current backline is "set" if you ask most Spurs fans. Unless Ange is planning on replacing or upgrading some of the defenders, I dont see how we stop conceding so many goals using the current tactics.
No system of play is air tight and bullet proof, especially when individual errors and poor execution happens during a game. I believe there will be an improvement in what Ange is trying to do by him recruiting the right profile of player and good old fashioned hard work on the training ground.
Ange has said that this year is all about the boys learning his system. He wants it to be natural to them before he introduces any changes. This makes 100% sense to me because it’s a totally new system than what they’d all been used to before. Do something well first and then add on. He will take into consideration who he’s playing against once they are fully versed in Ange ball.
32 games in and they are still learning a system??? No they look all over the place because the system ange wants Judy doesn't work in the premier league!!
Id say we can improve at RB and LB. At the very least we need people to challenge and provide depth at both positions. Agree with Striker concerns, Im starting to think Toney (Solanki?) might be inevitable. Home Grown players are needed.
I think it's just about the adaptation and the willingness to change from ange rn. Every team has at least 3 players staying at home to prevent counters, and we only have 2. Ange's philosophy is attacking at all cost, trying to score more than conceding. Our attackers are not sharp enough, so the defence will have to take all the consequences of attackers not finishing chances. And many managers now have the flexibility to set up his team depending on the opponent, and it is what ange might lack atm. I dont want to say this, but ange might be a little arrogant and believes in himself too much. He thinks epl is just the same as spl, where he can play a season with only 1 tactic and opponents didn't figure out. This is just the first season, so hopefully we can do better.
I think if we get another tonking then levy will be getting nervous - plus miss out on 4th and it will decrease the transfer kitty for the summer. We have an horrendous run in to accommodate other teams but hopefully those clubs that are still playing in europe that we have to meet will be running out of gas - possible unexpected good results against the arse and pool will happen for that reason - maybe even the home game against city might produce something ! pochettino is now getting into gear at chelsea so thats a worrying away game - then we are left with burnley & sheff utd - possibly for them the relegation battle will be over and they will be nothing games - Getting 4th will be important to what happens in the summer transfer window in my view.
Sean, thoughts on playing Romero as DM and Dragusin as RCB. I think Romero would be tailor-made for that roll with his on the ball abilities and he's positioning. Also gets the dragon in he's favoured position. I just don't think biss and benty are 6s there 8s
Some things we can do..
Recruit a specialist, effective #6
Do not use both fullbacks inverted at once ( long transition balls to wings bypasses these)
Better pressing by our attackers so unpressured long ball passes are reduced
Get defence of corners sorted
Make sense?
Hi Sean
So much to say on this video. I agree with you on so many points.
But to put it into context I watched Chelsea demolish Everton last night who have had a very good defensive record in the Prem.
Chelsea defended from the front. High press. Three very fast direct attacking front 3 with Palmer playing a free role.
Gallagher was doing all the hard unnoticed grunt work when defending.
If we go to the Bridge and play our way without cover for the back 4 I can see a 5 goal defeat coming.
Interesting that Spurs fans have been crying out for Ounana as a 6. He was so poor last night and was taken off.
Our front 3 is not good enough. Sonny should play on the left or as inside forward off the shoulder of a 9. I was for signing Timo but not now. He can only be a squad player at best as long as his transfer fee is not diverting a bigger and better signing.
For home grown player who might become available Morgan Gibbs White for me.
Re CB’s current 4 cannot defend crosses or corners, free kicks in the air.
Zonal marking is a joke. I would have Sonny up on halfway line to occupy two defenders to stop the second ball coming straight back.
If inverted backs still stays have one up and one dropping deep. Gives Madders more space.
Our possession levels at Newcastle were insane. Too much horseshoe passing. Heard it said that players are looking for CL place and frightened of making a mistake. Ie not being braver on the ball.
Just a few thoughts
Words of wisdom as usual from Sean and bugsy Malone
It wass not the players problems . But it was Ange Systems that didn't have Other Options with Only One Tactic and One Game Plan . Ange have to had Severals or at least 5 Tactics And Game Plans Of Attacking Football Styles to cover Every Unsuccesssful Tatics And Game Plans to gives us Consistance Attacking Styles Of Football with less conceding goals in our Leaky Defence . These must be stopped and needs to be regenerates by the Coaching Team's as we can score so many goals without Conceding pretty hafty goals against our defence . Ange must realised that these were not a Sottish , Australian , Greeks Or Japanese Football League , but a Premier Leagues that had a World's🌎Of Football Master Tacticians , mate . COYS.. 🤔🤔👏👏👏
I like Ange and I enjoy watching us playing football, but he’s not perfect. On one hand I recall Guardiola struggling to implement his ideas to perfection during 2016/17 and being mocked for saying ‘we don’t practice the tackles’ before spectacularly silencing everyone the following season. On the other hand, while this is his first season, this will likely be the season where he gets the most time to implement our strategy on the training ground as we’ve not had European football to contend with. Our pressing is inefficient. Teams seem to escape out front players and bypass the midfield too easily and are getting at our CB’s. Most teams nowadays attack with 5 and defend with 5 but we push both Porro and Udogie on so it’s more 6 and 4
Couple things. We need a quality number 6 and the whole team needs to be more disciplined in the system. Our press is a big problem because it’s a reactive press not proactive. If you watch us we press players but only after they’ve got the ball and we give them time to turn and get their head up so it’s pointless
The only way Spurs can do this is by signing a Striker and also sign a midfielder, winger and Centre back
Thank you
I think we need to give soloman a chance once he's fit , the long and short of it is we need a bully of a striker.If grealish is up for grabs go after him . All we hear is the players that spurs are after but we know we won't. Why not get the players in that realistically we know we can get . What about dragusin give him a full 90 minutes and see how he does .
We need a better number 6 to help out defending and going forward to start with.
Re our defence I don't think Romero shows enough leadership at the back, as a World Cup Winner and most experienced defender he doesn't seem to organise the back line in anyway, just look at our continued poor defending against corners surely that can be sorted out in game but the just never react, Newcastle looked like they could score everytime they had one on Saturday. He also often goes missing in games and just appears to rely on VdV to bail him out with his pace.
Morning Sean 👍we let in way to many goals so is our defence as good as we think ?
The Boss man is the real deal holifiled.
It pains me to say this but we are NOT as good as we think we are, quite what has happened to our early season form is anybody's guess, I am still yet to be convinced that SON is captain material and actually it may be effecting his form, Son and Maddison have been nowhere near their usual standard. We have been outdone tactically by two astute managers, not sure how long Ange is going to stay stubborn on this ? I also think dier was telling the truth, we seem to tactically not worry about the opposition - Ange we just cannot get away with that in this league !! I do agree with dewesbury hall he had a brilliant game against Chelsea in the FA Cup not the worst player we could sign.
Teams that win the league generally have the best defence record so there’s a lot of work to be done.I’d play three at the back Romero VDV dragusin
But sean... it's not what we are MATE😮
YES we do concede goals, but under this high line rigid system we're sunk im afraid 😮
Either this obstinate manger has to Adapt his tactics or ultimately be Stacked 😮😮
That grey hoodie looks good.
What a contradiction of wanting players with positional versatility but the system can’t have even an ounce of flexibility. Big up Sean and the whole STS!
in the attacking positions we need more decisive players. A winger who has a plan of action, rather than overthinking and faffing about. Who has a powerful shot on them. And a striker that has physicality, can hold up the ball, doesnt have it bouncing off them like it does for Son and Richarlison due to their poor first touches.
...plus a strong and mobile DM....
I know this doesn't appeal to the reactionary narrative, but most of the goals we concede are due to errors when we have the ball... The game plan wasn't a problem when we were winning and this is the first time our starting back line has been fully punished 🤷♂
The likes of Werner are a nightmare for giving away possession with a nothing pass around the other teams box. With two full backs going into #10 positions and often all three midfielders getting too advanced we're open to getting countered. It leaves Romero and VDV completely isolated when we play one sloppy pass and it's pretty easy to fix if one player just steps back slightly to lead a counter press.
Individual players are taking liberties with the attacking nature of the system, rather than taking responsibility to anchor the midfield and move into better positions to make the system work. Newcastle played well and pressed high well, but when that didn't work they would just sit back in the 541 shape and punish our sloppiness in possession over and over again.
We need wingers that are better with the ball at their feet. As the season goes on it's clear we do need a 6 that is great under pressure in build up, but will actually sit back and manage possession when we're camped in the final third. Fix the errors on the ball and we will concede less chances off the ball... It really is that simple!
Balls to all this 6s and 8s, we need a defensive midfielder who gets stuck in, wins the ball back, has no fear and no scared to have the ball.. as well as a striker and wide men that can actually cross and either assist more or score more
Don’t see how Santiago don’t get minutes the young man scores and creates regularly
I would be happy with them scoring more ...
Divine intervention💯
Except Son, we don't have great players going forward. Other teams don't fear Werner, Richarlison, Kulu, Johnson when we attack. We are toothless going forward.
At the beginning of the season : our system was a huge surprise for every teams + Maddison & Son were on fire. Since then, we lost ALL CREATIVITY.
Meaning, no teams fear us anymore...
Sean it looks lovely there it's pissing down here . We need a DM and a Striker. in. It was just not Mickey the players just didn't turn up. Anges responsibility to look at teams how they are set up that's how you prepare for a game that's rediculous .. Can't defend from corners can't tackle and at moment can't pass the ball. Sorry and we are not scoring either. We need quality players in This shows the top haven't got the AMBITION the supporters want for this club. Sean have a lovely afternoon.
Score more.
Cheers Sean. Frustrating loss but there was always going to be bumps on the road in the first season. The problem with playing exciting attacking football right now is two fold…
Firstly, we leave ourselves far too open at the back on the turnover. Whilst I don’t believe we have conceded too many goals that way, I do think that the approach can be tactically naive and really isn’t conducive to long term success without some modification based upon opponent and the ingame moment etc this is especially so as teams know to put the ball in behind us down the channel and then we can be caught out.
Secondly - we are playing too much huff and puff football. We huff and puff with the ball, we dominate possession but to what end?! We create very little in terms of real opportunities and certainly struggle when teams sit back. We need to find a way to beat this. We need to take more shots from distance but at the right moments etc. we need that spark, we need Maddison from the start of the season back as well as some guile and creativity on the wings.
Can we find that? Well if we don’t this Angeball project will be as short lived as the Conte one.
Do you honestly find it exciting? I find tippy tappy side to side passing as dull as ditchwater.
@@majcas8465 what’s missing is an incisive pass, a bit of trickery. I like us having possession but we need to have a purpose to it and I think that’s what we both want to see. I don’t think we have the players here for that right now. I do think we will improve when Richarlison comes back as he’s more of a striker than Son. Son needs to be on the left, cutting in and with freedom to shoot from the edge of the area as he did before. And then in the summer we need to bring in a top top striker. The kind of player that is at the ceiling for what we can get. Our marquee signing of the summer. And then we can look to push on next season with a player that can hold the ball up plus get into the right positions and take the chances. Hope we get this one right.
You can’t play with just 2 CB with high line away from home, we are being taken apart with ease, hopefully L’pool don’t take it out on us 😢
Also we lost probably the best all round forward in Kane last year.I think we are definitely improving considering everything.
Spurs talk show watch the thomas broich interview and listen to what thomas says
it's just an idiotic way of playing football. You would not see a Sunday morning team concede a goal like our third on Saturday leaving a one on one with the striker who ran from his own half. It's school boy stuff having the majority of your own players in the opposition defensive third and hoping that when the attack breaks down that they don't have the nous to break with quality. Sean is right in that just changing the personal won't improve a crocked system.
😅😅😅😅😅😅
I
ts simply find a number 6 that can see danger rather than one that hides from it
What happened to Sean? A day ago he’s without his hat and today he’s in a parking lot. Starting walking through the countryside again buddy!👍
Have a better midfield and have a fast fullback defending with our 2 cbs
Is that Brooklands where you are filming?
yes it is
I always assumed you would be north of London. Brooklands is just up the road from me. It's great to take the kids on their bikes.
Haven't watched yet, but will.
However just going on the title, I don't agree, not 20 fewer as we'll score more. So it's the goal difference that needs to be affected.
No, Cuti and VDV are probably the best CBs but Porro & Udogie are not the best. I expect more shots and key passes from Porro. Udogie's performances shown the inexperienced side of his game. He's only 21. He has strength, energy, and pace but lacks the end products. It's exciting to see him run forward but most of time he seems out of control. He doesn't know what's do in the final third.
concede 20 goals fewer, get rid of Romero get a top CH who wants to be here Romero never has. And a left back who is prepared to track he runner back that would be a great start.
It’s not the high line it’s inverted full backs leaving acres of space at the wings suspect to simple long balls.
