That Spurs win was a bit of a tease in the end. Luton could've scored and drawn the game as the Spurs defence just played around with the ball too much. Bit lucky Ange.

Couldn't be happier for Ange. Would be good to see what his loudest detractors for the Spurs job are saying now. There will be a loss soon and there's a good chance there will be a big loss, but there's no doubt that as a manager he belongs in the EPL. The connection his team seem to have and with every player playing their role and trusting each other to do what's needed is very Richmond 2017ish.
As an Arsenal fan I hope the spuds get relegated, however having watched quite a few of their games this year they are playing the type of football that can challenge Man City for the title if not this year but next year. Not only does Ange belong in the EPL, he is currently bossing it.
Yeah, depth is the issue. The starting 11 is great. They need a big striker to complement Son, Richarlison won't cut it I feel. Son is great but he may get injured and he's not going to nail a big header from a corner.
Muscat rumoured to be in with a shot at the Rangers job - he did play at Rangers and he's a good manager, doing well with Ange's old side Yokohama F Marinos.
And we could have been 3-0 up inside 10 minutes. That's football.
It didn't come down to luck. it was a very professional performance with 10 men. Luton were barely a threat in the final 30 minutes.
Arnold was offered the Hibs gig and turned it dowen. He's 60 now. He'll never get the chance to coach in Europe now. As @AngryAnt said, Kev might end up at Rangers if they are willing to wait til the end of the J-League season (last game is on December 3).
I think the front 3 need to be more dynamic. Son, Richarlison and Johnson can all play wide or centrally. Kulucevski plays central midfield for Sweden. They should be switching in game to be more unpredictable. Its another layer Ange will no doubt adopt at some point.
Didn't know that about Kulucevski, I did know he's run more kilometres than anyone else in the Prem so far (data from a week or two ago). He was outstanding playing up front and holding the ball in the last third of the match.
On the front three yes - Ange tried Richi in the centre and that failed, then Son got the job done. Brennan is another option when he's fit. They talk about Bryan Gil as an attacking winger but I haven't seen him play, thoughts Ian? Also Betancur to come back soon.
I've never seen Gil (pronounced Hill) play. he was out on loan last season. But in the pods I've been listening to, he is more of a traditional left sided winger who likes to stay wide and get in behind (as opposed to Kulucevski, Son and Solomon who are more inverted wingers).
Bentancur has started training with the main squad, but is still 3-4 weeks away.
Yeah, Ange has been 'a bit lucky' all season.
Where are all the punters who bet on Spurs being relegated and Ange losing his job gone?
Bueller? Bueller?
You were lucky Neto missed that sitter. As for home turf, you’re only travelling 20 minutes from one of Wolverhampton’s disadvantaged outer suburbs !

He didn't have too many detractors for the Spurs job. Bucket loads for the Celtic job though.
Nah, had plenty. Most from Spurs but also the English media.
The usual insular English mindset that anyone outside the big leagues of Europe are no good.

Juist do a search on Twitter for #NoToPostecoglou who a lot of the Spurs fans were driving when his appointment was imminent.
there was definitely a bit of that, but not as bad as Celtic.
no, he had plenty of Spurs fans and commentators who predicted he would fail, although they are all on the Ange bus now.
The Prem is not the Scottish league don't ya know.
I reckon those Mad Scottish fans would be more of a concern then EPL fans for coaches
Now they sing songs with his name in them but when he was appointed

hahaha... yeah well I haven't had a chance to watch the game yet but Villa usually needs a bit of luck.
Hey 'there's no place like home' is more than just small talk.
