Premier League

Id give Ange another season. They sacked Jose before the league cup final and they might soon sack Ange after winning one - its very spursy. As he said himself the club needed a trophy far more than it needed a 3rd place finish.

Amorim has said repeatably that he won't change his formation and that the players must adapt to his style of play and formation otherwise they will be not playing

 

Well then, they won’t be winning much again either.

I very much hope Spurs keep Ange and United keep Amorim. Two very tactically inflexible managers who will continue to keep both teams mired in mediocrity at best.

End of the day football is (or should be/was) about winning things.

So fair play to Ange, and Tottenham fans will remember Bilbao far more than those glorious 4th place finishes…

Indeed. I wonder how many Wigan Athletic fans would trade their FA Cup victory for having stayed in the PL that year...

[chaddyrovers]

Farewell to Gary Lineker presenting Match of the Day. Done a great job and he will be missed by me.

we see, If he signs players that fit into his formation and how he plays then it may works. It will be interesting summer at United with some players leaving like Garnacho, Rashford and Anthony but who they signed.

Let's see how he gets on next season, if he's given the chance. Flexibility over the long term is much more than just "defend and counter attack" for the odd cup game.

Meanwhile one of next season's PL "Champions" League representatives loses their final game 4-1 at home to Brighton, completing a season of domestic humiliation. Took a look at the Spurs forum and they all seem to want Ange gone. Give 'em hell Chadster. 

and during yesterday with the Spurs Stadium they were signing Ange name 

Tottenham fans have made their feelings on Ange Postecoglou clear

Well Spurs fans at the stadium sounds like they don't want him gone and that why I am wary of reading too much into comments on fans forum.

Football fans are as fickle as they come. I recall some posters on here demanding the sacking of Ismael after only a few games, but then after a couple of good results their tune had changed.

Give it a few games into the new league season and if they continue to get embarrassed every week, Spurs fans will soon turn again.

Ange has technically delivered a trophy and champions league football to Spurs, so really they should stick with. If next season follows the same pattern though, they need to be sacking him pretty quickly. I can’t see how they will be successful in both the PL and Europe, so one will likely suffer.

I see the plastic scousers are out in force in Liverpool today.

I really do detest that club.

For me they don't come into the same category as the Red Scum along the M62 but how many times are they actually going to celebrate winning the title?.

Sky made us sit through a couple of hours of cringeworthy celebration, including Slot singing, after the match where they clinched the title (Was it Spurs?) so I assumed that was it.

Then, seemingly, same again after yesterday's game. THEN an open air parade today.

Talk about overkill.

Ref as Incompetent as our owners.

He should never be allowed to ref again.

Rather harsh on both counts. He made a split-second decision and from where he was stood it looked like a foul. VAR rules prevented a review. 

Referees are easy targets. I've not seen one comment on the stupid decision Martinez made to get himself sent off. Hojlund wasn't going to score, he never does. Playing more than a half with 10 men cost them more than a refereeing error. 

In the wider picture Villa won a league game on October 19th. They then won 3 out of their next 11. Blame that drop in form, possibly because their squad was tired from weekly European games, for not qualifying for the Champs League, not a referee.

That’s the problem. He shouldn’t have made such a quick decision. 

The guideline state

• Delaying the flag/whistle for an offence is only permissible in a very clear attacking situation when a player is about to score a goal or has a clear run into/towards the opponents’ penalty area.

Yes, he made a mistake but I think in part the post to which you are replying was in answer to the ludicrous suggestion that the referee in question should never be allowed to referee again.

maybe he can only coach that style and formation? Amorim has been 3-4-2-1 formation head coach since he started his coaching hasn't he? 

He had a one off game against an abysmal opponent with the reward being over 100million which he would have received most of in order to buy the players he needed to make his "system" work. He chose to stilck with a system, style and formation that he had evidence was a disaster against English sides. Ange, changed his tactics and won the game. 

I think this Amorim has demonstrated contempt for the fans, the club and his profession he is an absolute disgrace. I also think he stuck with the formation is because he was shit scared of winning the Europa League with a formation other than his own and might come under pressure when it all goes tits up next year.

I really hope they keep him they all deserve each other.

Half of it was. The other half was about the ref being incompetent, which he was.

Footage is circulating. It does seem to turn to plough into the crowd unfortunately.

(no one post it please)

[Gav]

Seen the footage, very strange, car didn’t seem to be going at any speed, but it certainly targeted people.

Hopefully nobody is seriously injured.

my prays and feelings are with the people affected and people of Liverpool
