    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    We may see things slightly differently but that's football, I would pursue success ahead of an ideal playing identiy. For clarity your No.2 above is not where I am - I think we should have given Conte time becuase he is a proven winner in the Prem and Serie A so he knows what it takes at this...

    Probably right!

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Hopefully there is nothing wrong with me apart from being a bit bemused. Many fans state this is a long term rebuild project in probably the most competitive league in Europe (if not the world) and cite Klopp & Arteta as examples of why Ange needs time. Maybe you think differently*, but for...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Stats suggest otherwise - I was there and Son and Kane had good chances first half and we could / should have had 3 goals in the first 20 minutes of the second half, Kane, Kulu and Sessignon. Watch the extended highlights back.

    Team for Chelsea

    I think the fact that many fans have different thoughts on team selection game in game out, says a lot about where we are currently - look back to the Chelsea home game and there would be much more of a sense of agreement surrounding the starting 11. Injuries, form and results unsettles everyone...

    First half yes, second half no.

    That should apply to all managers.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Last season we lost 0-2 at home to Woolwich, we had more shots (17-14) more shots on target (7-5) and edged possesion (51%-49%). Were poor in the first half and good in the second under a coach deemed negative and boring!

    Don't worry -we will have fixed our defensive issues by the City game - you can bet your bottom dollar we keep a clean sheet!

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    It is deliberate - if the fans, players, managers and pundits don't understand the rules then the officials and PGMOL can make it up as they go along. Posted weeks ago, refs give a lot of decisions based on their mood, not on the laws of the game. Having said that, it's not why we lost today -...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Some suggestions; He cannot see the problem ( I doubt it) He is coaching the set pieces but the players are not competent enough to implement (possible) He believes in the zonal system ( seems clear to me) and is giving the players time to master it (unlikely) He is waiting until the end of the...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Not saying I disagree with you - but do you honestly think that Mourinho or Conte got who they wanted? We know they weren't given the time.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    The attacking system is pretty box to box - but then it dies a death more often than not.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He doesn't need massive money spent to achieve what? If we don't spend massive and don't win anything under Ange is that ok? Is he still a good fit? How many managers have won the Prem without spending big - Ranieri in a 5,000-1 season, which is hardly a blueprint. I am not judging Ange and if...

    Arsenal

    I didn't say they would throw the game, just don't see there is an incentive for them stopping Woolwich, unlike the Chelsea players in the Battle of The Bridge who have since stated that there was extra motivation in stopping Tottenham's pursuit of the title. I think it is human nature.

    Arsenal

    Not sure why Utd would want to try to stop them and likely hand the tile to City or Liverpool?

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He was sacked from Chelsea and that is a fact that we know of because of the court case that followed. Inter was due to their financial situation and cost cutting proposals.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Could that be fairly summed up as if he does not get what he wants he would not want to be here?

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    That's a fair shout and IMO the crux of his departure lies in what you have posted. Maybe he was promised things he didn't get and just 'rage quit' / refused to sign a new contract, maybe he wanted to stay but after the Southampton outburst Levy wanted him gone, maybe he relaised that fiannces...
