Ange's stubbornness is something else. Brighton could easily be up by double figures considering how easy it's been for them to bypass Spurs' defence. 

that young Argie CF I included in my targets scored

Kudus is a beast at both ends

we missed a trick big time I fear

he is even playing as a CF in terms of hold up play at times

If we got him it would be instead of Palmer, so not much of a loss, if it was instead of Madueke or Mudryk would be great.

Good players have poor games. Every single player we've got has had a stinker since the beginning of the season.

Liverpool must be laughing right now.

Arsenal is still short of goal scorers; Gabriel Jesus ain't one and Martinelli's form dipped after the injury.

I always have maintained we could have easily worked both into the team

look at what West Ham does with Kudus and Bowen

But again Spurs could have probably got the 4-4 or even won too the last 15-20 mins.

Considering the players they are missing, the commitment and results based off of the style and the performances with so called inferior players filling in positions they don’t usually play (Royal & Davies at CB in particular) and new younger players with next to no exposure at this level (Udogie and Sarr) has to be applauded lets be honest.

With a few more good additions, similarly like he did at Celtic in his first season in the January, they will get the results to justify playing that way, although you could already argue they have done that. Said it before when we were linked to him and also when Spurs appointed him, he will die by his philosophy but he will improve most players and their team as a whole - as he has done everywhere he has been from Australia to Japan to Scotland and now in England. It’s so clear they are better coached than we are and than Man United are. Irrespective of results - look at the style the patterns etc. Do you think anyone would achieve that by changing their beliefs? Is it really that stubborn? Did Pep change his philosophy that much after an unsuccessful first season? No. Did Klopp? No. Did Mourinho after he came back the second time round? No.

I think this is also why perhaps we have to keep Poch although results have been incredibly mixed/poor. But we haven’t seen any signs yet of what a Poch team usually is which is why I am dubious about how long he should get.

he enrages me playing a potentially WC (in a couple years) left footed CB (Colwill) at LB

drives me bonkers
