Ange has to answer for the set piece defending. It cannot go on like this.
It's so bizarre as it's completely independent of the style of play. Like he doesn't have to compromise his philosophy for them at all? He needs to make a big call and change up the staff if it's blatantly not working - and that might mean having to make tough decisions on certain people he has close relationships with.

Yeah this is completely on Ange, because we've been alright in many aspects but if you've absolutely no confidence in defending set pieces what chance do you have?

I fucking love Sonny but a serious conversation has to take place about where he's actually going to play long term. Anonymous upfront, past his best on the wing. He can still score with the best of them but I don't know where he plays for us anymore.

Yeah I agree. Absolutely love the guy but without his pace he's not much use unfortunately.

Calm down. There's 1/2 a game left. It's time for Ange and the senior players to make their mark. We can still get something from this game.

I'll be honest, we don't even play good football. People are still remembering the honeymoon period and new manager bounce.

I am bored of us, every chance we get on the break we turn back and pass backwards and then sideways. The lack of defensive structure in game and at set pieces says everything for me. You have to make the most of everything and Ange is naive and stubborn.

Eventually he'll figure out what Guardiola has now - you need big strong defenders in the premier league. Playing tiki taka on it's own won't win you games.
We e got some big defenders, but we’re set to play musical statues not football when the corner comes in

I'm convinced my local team in 4th league would score a goal or two against us. We aren't much better in attack either

No matter what happens this last games, I won’t be Ange Out till next season. But today Ange lost a lot of my goodwill. Since I became Tottenham, no matter how shit we were, I have never seen we get battered by scum at home like today. They scored every time they stepped into the box, with every corner they had. 2 fucking weeks just training and all you have to show for is transpiration. No evolution upfront or at the back. Same defensive mistakes for months, and now this humiliation. I’m fucking pissed.

Pushing both fullbacks up every single time is just a really stupid move. We never vary it, just do the same thing time and again. So easy to coach against, it's why we're getting destroyed regularly this season.

Add to that the fact that no one has the stomach to defend set pieces and it's glaringly obvious why the season has crumbled.

I think Ange is the only manager in the league who would’ve played him alienated through the middle against their pair today.
