Sacking Ange would be final Spurs move
Writing in to answer to Jim Sokol from the day long past by’s mailbox.
Jim writes ‘Ange’s refusal to evaluate opponents and not change his (opinion A, same as Contrivance B ways) are getting stumbled on out within the head league, as I knew they would.’
Now not if truth be told distinct what Jim used to be looking at for. Interestingly after 50 PL games Pep won 36, Arteta and Klopp each and every won 26. Ange has won 25 from 49.
(If truth be told, Arteta won handiest 21 of his first 50 PL games – Ed)
All three managers started at golf equipment in similar positions if truth be told. We are in a position to argue about relative locations, and IMO Liverpool and Arsenal were in a runt bit better form as they hadn’t had the Jose and Conte messes before them.
Attain I deem Ange will mosey on and construct a Klopp, or like Spurs as a positive 2nd best within the league? Doubtlessly not (virtually in fact not). But that would be Spurs punching miles above their weight, and even with Spurs bearing in mind abet to their dreamboat Poch – even he managed to construct third in a two horse rush and totally turn to water within the Champions League remaining (as a Liverpool fan, thanks for that Poch).
For some context. Spurs like not won the league since 1961. The FA Cup since 1991. League Cup used to be the relaxation trophy safe in 2008.
Since Spurs remaining won a trophy, Leicester like won the Prem, the FA Cup and I could throw within the Charity Defend as nicely, suitable to atomize it 3-0. Spurs are not a trophy a success club over the relaxation 60 years or so.
So Spurs fans. What would you delight in next after interestingly looking out for to sack Ange? A “serial winner” that plays pragmatic football? Tall thought, that worked nicely the relaxation two times.
A left field option that’s starting to drag a form of play together and keep a squad out of the shambles that used to be there before? Yeah, you like that now and also it’s essential bin him for usually not being Pep.
Sacking Ange now after suitable over a year within the gig and starting to alter issues would suitable be wonderfully Spursy. Possibilities are you’ll presumably presumably also handiest high that by going and hiring Ten Hag or one thing.

Dr Tottenham or Mr Hotspur?
Upright reading the supervisor rankings and caught but every other reference to Dr Tottenham, I wonder if we are at the level after they’ve honed their expertise and are if truth be told so completely real and surgically shapely of their pursuit of perfection, that they must quiet be promoted to, or like handed the final tests and are fully qualified and as such must quiet now be referred to, as all surgeons must quiet…. Mr Hotspur?
Upright opinion..
Why is nobody reputedly talking about Antonee Robinson for a left abet – Seems as upright as anything else I if truth be told like considered for 2 seasons. Has he obtained a 5yr Fulham contract. I’d like him in a heartbeat!
Al – LFC (defend going Arne, I already deem you would possibly defend or change Trent and Mo whichever you like! Amazingly my belief levels after 11 games are insane)
(We’re talking about Antonee Robinson – Ed)
Pep staying? Salvage in
Pep Guardiola extending his contract is unheard of news for all Metropolis fans. So so so happy to love him responsible for even longer, even supposing I did deem it used to be at risk of happen as I wrote remaining week.
And I look forward to seeing him dominate League Two and exhibiting your Barrows, your Newports, your Bromleys what’s up.

Klopp as coach> Klopp as man
Nearly spat my espresso this morning after I’d read it and who’s aware of if we defend discontinuance all reports as truth, but did Jurgen Klopp if truth be told behold Antony fit to interchange (the then presumably departing) Mo Salah? Blimey… our same beloved gaffer who wanted Julian Brandt over the Egyptian king before he’d reach in, and wanted that heaving pile of Brazilian uselessness after, bless him.
Unlike David Coote I’ve nothing but like and a trunkful of fond memories for Klopp and his reign. Additionally don’t know what his recent remit will be precisely, presiding over the Red Bull umbrella, but on our runt patch thank god for the return of Michael Edwards (and the installment of Richard Hughes). Whereas there’s runt debate Klopp used to be an shapely chief and one consistently in a position to doing the most with the least, he had huge blind spots when it came to recruitment. And we paid dearly now and then with quite about a alternative prices.
As well-known as I enjoyed Thiago, he used to be an inarguably glum signing for us and one Edwards would’ve by no system sanctioned on his comprise. Same also can be acknowledged of Darwin (and though the jury’s quiet out, it doesn’t study colossal). Naby Keita wasn’t essentially glum recruitment, but he used to be woefully short in robustness and repeatedly lacked the fitness profile to geggenpress eight days weekly. There are more examples I’m distinct, but suitable looking out for to gain to what I’m asserting…
Which is merely that I’m on board with Arne Slot and Michael Edwards. It’s the upright setup.
I’ll forever omit Klopp on the touchline and any Liverpool supporter will be ever grateful he came to us, but dare I order the club would possibly well presumably be in better fingers now going forward. More prudent, more sustainable fingers. Much less emotion. Klopp used to be the ethical man at the ethical time; I’m convinced nobody also can’ve reach in to wake the slumbering huge as he did. But from the put we are if truth be told, the put we also can mosey, I deem FSG like obtained it ethical all as soon as more… by striking the upright of us in situation to gain it ethical, all as soon as more.
Eric, Los Angeles CA (Additionally suitable my notion but I don’t deem shifting Kane into a roving 10 aim for England is the answer. Kane must quiet sit. Rooney shared many of Kane’s attributes whereas in decline and shifted abet, but at that time England weren’t spoilt for preference in that station as they can be for 2026. Kane also can be devastating off the bench from the 70th, as wished, and as a 9.)
Autos: A genius
Unbelievable evaluation of Lee Carsley from Funster Andy. My handiest gripe is that he assumes it’s unintentional, it’s not, the guy is more gleaming than we give him credit ranking for.
As a participant, Carsley in centre midfield for Everton used to be the driver behind our run to fourth abet within the day. He repeatedly knew the put to be and when. It’s quite comical must you deem Precise Madrid bought Tommy Grav for defensive midfield when it goes to quiet’ve been Autos all along (all bald white males study the same it looks to be)
So yes, I’d want to behold Autos abet again for the head job some day. Plus I’d want to thank him for bettering our play immensely and hope that he’ll be abet after the most modern capitulation.
Beefy Man (He also broken-down Tommy Tuuuuuchels patented 4222 formation within the main match in opposition to Greece….)
Diminutive info sets and marginal losses
Something that repeatedly fascinates me within the football media is how well-known weight is placed on the discontinue outcomes of 1 sport. Even a corpulent league season is a runt ‘info’ pool on which to atomize a call, so why would we crude so well-known on one sport?
As an instance, doing a ‘what-if’ round Watkins vs Kane, by implying that Watkins also can by no system like made the pass to Bellingham Kane made, thus proving Kane is the better participant.
There is runt doubt Kane has been a colossal participant, the ask is whether he can proceed to be and he used to be definitively stumbled on attempting at the relaxation Euros, but the actual level is that the sport would not like unrolled the same device if Watkins had started. Who’s aware of, maybe England would like been 1-0 up earlier through a Watkins aim or the go up front permitting a crew mate dwelling to compile that Kane can not construct anymore. It’s a moot level.
It’s delight in the postulate of marginal positive factors. We exercise time talking about marginal positive factors and how one or more runt enhancements, in a extremely official and competitive sport, can originate ample advantage to safe.
But what about marginal losses? Indisputably the choice must be upright. Whereas Kane has been a colossal asset for England and in fact believes in exhibiting up, at the relaxation Euros he used to be in fact off his best. If he’s handiest at 90% of his best, must quiet he not be playing? Was as soon as he carrying an hurt, not recovered from an hurt or used to be it Father Time catching up? Either device, hadn’t he become a marginal loss that detracted from the final crew performance?
The belief that that Watkins isn’t that well-known younger than Kane and there must not any future forwards of Kane’s ilk can be moot. We handiest play one match at a time, so we’re handiest focussed on the subsequent World Cup. We are in a position to difficulty about future forward skill later. Besides, few groups at global level like a forward of that level and loads of that construct, both don’t qualify (Norway), or don’t like the crew to atomize the forward (Poland), and so forth, that it presentations it’s a ways more crucial to love a balanced aspect with a centered procedure than like in mind the best technique to exhaust, not to express optimize, for one participant.
In opposition to Greece in Greece, England were balanced and conducted with freedom, which we by no system seen in any sport at the Euros. Tuchel is pragmatic and is aware of he can’t and won’t rely on one participant – as he won’t know who will be fit or available when the finals reach round. He’ll prefer a balanced squad who can all play to a system.
Carsley has performed nicely and supplied Tuchel lots of background he can leverage when though-provoking on how he needs to play. He must be stoked to love gain admission to to the form of colossal pool of skill and, I dare order, not being English, won’t like the distress English managers like about losing. Plus, being handiest signed to at least one match won’t must difficulty besides-known in regards to the media through calls to be sacked and so forth. Upright study at the best device the media in fact harassed Carsley – which I believe totally influenced his resolution in attempting the aim.
It’s suitable too sinful we focal level on the negatives, the can all of them play together, who’s better than Kane, is Kane any upright, and so forth, than the truth we like got an incredibly talented scheme of avid gamers, and the long term looks distinct.

…The object that I despise about social media, and the media on the final in at the present time and age is the truth that the total lot is unlit or white, there would possibly well be no heart floor.
As an instance, the sizzling debate about Harry Kane looks to be to characteristic on whether he must quiet play for England or not. Attributable to this truth, you would possibly handiest deem that he’s both shapely or rubbish. There can be no in-between
Sadly, it’s a ways not that straight forward. Thomas Tuchel must weigh up his thought on the crew as a complete. What’s the best aspect England can build out to present them a chance of a success the arena cup? As used to be evidenced not too long within the past you would possibly not build your complete best avid gamers on the field and quiz them to gel together delight in its Football Supervisor circa 2008.
This takes me abet to the Roy Keane argument about Ronaldo. Keane’s thought used to be it’s essential quiet gain a technique of fitting Ronaldo into the crew because he scored 25 targets remaining season, the opposing thought used to be whereas Ronaldo would possibly well even like scored 25 targets the crew over the route of the season scored much less and created fewer probabilities. You suitable can’t merely up the sport of the choice 10 avid gamers to accommodate one.
Tuchel has to weigh up is Kane playing at center forward going to be better than Watkins with Jude Bellingham within the number 10 dwelling that Kane drops into. Additionally is Watkins more at risk of compile with two wingers hitting the touch line.
Is Harry Kane England’s best striker, in fact yes. Nonetheless, will the crew play better without him?
I don’t know the answer to this, you don’t know the answer to this, and “white van man” who shouts down the phone to talksport presenters unquestionably doesn’t know the answer to this. No one does but that’s why Thomas Tuchel is getting paid a hell of lots of cash to test out to set up this out.
Kindest regards.
