While you turn on Ange, remember that the Goons finished 8th under Arteta in his first two seasons, and they wanted him out as well.

Yes indeed. Set pieces are the problem! You should have known before NLD. I’m getting tired of his witty excuses.

Yes! Set pieces have been an issue the entire season! Too late to realized we are rubbish in set pieces.

At least he’s not denying we were bad at set pieces. The ref was terrible as always in this league

It feels like a lot of fans just don't give managers/head coaches a chance now. It's not good for anyone being so reactionary as the club just ends up paying out for the manager anyway whilst also paying for a replacement & players are constantly having to adapt to entire new tactics & philosophies.

I don’t think this manager is up too it.

NO ANGE NOT YOU LEVY NEEDS TO HIRE US A SET PIECE COACH

110% ange posto-fraud had 2 weeks to prepare knowing ben white wud sit on vicario? So what did he do in training to counter act that? NOTHING ZILCHO NADDA !!!! Hes a championship coach? plus how easy is Arteta's job knowing exactly how spurs are gona play exact same way every game !???

Pull your finger out ange, we have weeks between games but show NO improvement on our weakness what are we doing with that time ?, our keeper needs to man up and get used being harrassed, they know your weakness - what you gonna do about it ? Not impressed Ange !

Our set piece coach is a scrub and needs to be fired immediately!

Yeah they are the problem i knew the corner was going to go in before it was ever taken the marking is a joke they all look lost

I mean, we know Arsenal is really good at corners. We also know that we re extremely bad at defending corners. Why not put Van de Ven in place of Ben Davies and bring Dragusin as CB, that way we have better aerial defense. How about training Vicario on how to deal with players harassing him in corners as well. We definitely lost on set pieces, 2 weeks and 0 strategy on how to prevent something so obvious.

"If", the hell are you talking about, do you even watch the games? Set pieces are half the game, if you're good at them, you might win games that overall you're not good at.

We have no mid week games and still flopped

How can you not see that corners are a problem? We concede from corners nearly every match!

For a club that doesn't have European games or cup games with so much time to prepare, it's simply not good enough. Also I disagree that we controlled most of the game, maybe we define "control" differently, just passing it in the middle or at the back is easy. It's what happens later that matters the most and in offensive phases we go out wide and labor, players have nowhere to go coz the attack is dead so they pass back time and time again.

What do you mean IF set pieces are a problem? Vicario is bullied at every corner. Protect him.

Please put your energy in Australia not Premier League. Get out from my club!!

Why no Dragon? Very puzzling for a defence that concedes nearly 3 goals a game!!

There is always a player trying to interfere with the goal keeper during set pieces like a lot of modern football teams do these days and yet we've done NOTHING about it. The ENTIRE LEAGUE figured us out MONTHS ago and we've made no adjustments whatsoever. It is BLASPHEMOUS to plug in Ben Davies and expect him to play the same role as Udogie. We don't have a single midfielder who can possess the ball in tight spaces and make creative passes through the middle nor do we have a crack on either side of the pitch who can take their man one on one consistently although Johnson looked threatening at times today. Teams are happy to sit back and give up possession in their own half knowing that we aren't threatening when they do so and we are vulnerable in counter attack. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS FOR GOD'S SAKE ANGE.

Ange stop making the same excuses,and tell us what's going on behind the curtains

Same crap, Ange! Sick of the same speech about " knowing where we are as a team " - not buying it! Any neutral fan who has watched Spurs this season know we can't defend set pieces!

It's not rocket science put a man on each post and attack the ball. WE need a CB to take command of the defense, at the moment at defending corners it's like "um um um what do we do oh to late they've scored ". Also teach the defense the rule of offside. Davis has been at fault too many times at playing to deep and playing opposing team on side which again he done with Saka's goal.

We can't defend set pieces for life and other area to improve is when getting pressed like how Newcastle and Fulham exploited our inverted fullbacks with very high and intense press..

In our first game against aston villa I saw John McGinn constantly backing Vicario into the goal. I thought, what’s going on here?? Amazed it took so long for us to finally put a body to protect our goalkeeper, and then we make the same error this game!! Don’t think it is a matter of putting all our time and effort on defensive set pieces but surely getting a set piece coach can’t be that difficult.

Ange says he wants us challenging for the title next year wr are far far far away. Sorry ange you have been sussed out mate

Chill out fanatics the squad is not finished yet it progression takes time next year if we are not competing then you can whing!

LEVY OUT ALWAYS !!!!

Yes we are terrible at set pieces. But - ‘VAR wrongly disallowed Van Der Ven’s goal and spurs should have had a penalty before the Saka breakaway goal’ - Ian Wright

Apparently we can control most games but we can't control losing them. Every team now knows Spurs weaknesses are the high line, set piece defending and a goal keeper who doesn't like being physical and prefers to punch rather than catch the ball. In his defence the fans wanted attacking football no matter the risks.

Sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing at this stage. If you can't see that opponents have been targeting us at set pieces since the Man City cup game, why are you managing at this level?😮

Isn't King Ledley still knocking around in the background somewhere? I don't care if he has his coaching badges or not, give King the keys to the defensive coaches room ASAP!

He's gone the other extreme of Conte and Mourinho, there is another manager out there that will have the perfect balance if we can find him. Still, it's best to give him another half a season as the team look exciting going forward. Feel sad to see Sonny not delivering leadership in these crucial games, he seems to have been drained emotionally by the Asian cup. Cuti showing real captain quality.

Seeing a slight change in ange’s tone which is encouraging…wonder if he still thinks we are putting a title challenge next season?lol

Just admit you were wrong man! Geez! This stuborness is going to cost him his job sooner rather than later if this continues.

Regardless all teams need to defend corner kicks. Ball gets drilled to the corner of the six yard box, just have your tallest cb in that position. Arsenal players position themselves on the blind side back post, them make the run to the front post.

This guy is unprepared and very naive! This ain't no scottish league Ange! Wake up and analyze how top teams play!

Ben White interfered with Vicario for both set pieces without the ball. Those are clear fouls and should not be allowed.

Vicario needs a weights training program in the off season to not be an easy push/block at corners. And Ragusin needs to play to help defend Vicario with the corners.

I am glad he admit the he needs to work on defense and set piece. I raised this issue 3 months ago. Love from South Africa

Arsenal scored from 1 in 3 of their corners today and it cost us the game. Really disappointing considering how long this issue has been going on for.

‘If’? We knew that Arsenal are so good at corners and yet we looked completely clueless at defending them.

PLEASE STOP the goalie passing to a defender....just throw or hoof the ball to a player......the repeated Vicario/Romero pantomime error created the corner kick AGAIN!! which resulted in their first goal......WHY WHY do this every time....WHY ????????.

This excuse for a manager is clueless.He fails to inspire the team and he has nowhere to go apart from the bald controller's compost heap of decaying past managers.

Set pieces a problem and we don't know how to adapt, hence why we not good at the "details"

Good game.Lets have more up and under mate..Lets go again.and again.

Romero van der ven porro and son the rest are shit , i was so happy when we got maddsion but hes been useless all season

Gooners are exceedingly good at corners and we are exceedingly bad … what the hell do we do in training 🤷🏻‍♀️❓

This is where he loses me. How can he say that?

Did he not fire our set pieces coach and put his mate in there,

What happened to mark a man at corners and don’t lose the battle!?!? Half our team just marking space and trying to defend when half theirs have the run on us! It’s literally insane defensive set-piece tactics!

set pieces are not the problem. playing out the back and putting pressure in our own half and then putting it out for corners anyway is the problem. just boot it long ffs, we dont have the players to play out the back for every attacking phase of play

Plan A(NGE) isnt working...he won the league in October,TigerCup in Singapore......manager of the year....trip away to Australia at end of the season...the 3 competitions bottled is the way we are mate!

When has zonal marking ever really worked , mark your man it’s simple football.

If a guy likes ke PEH can't stand goalside to defend his par...no coach in the world can change that, whether it's Mason or Vio. Blaming a manager for what a player does or does not do is ludicrous.

Do please put all your time in defending set pieces please, we will not progress otherwise

I said one comment that sets up the game is why cant cant we play in the first half.

Who is our set piece coach? Warwick Davis or Tom Thumb ?

Comment makes no sense. Championship winning teams do so because of defence not attack.

Set pieces is just one of many..

Have to disagree with Ange here. Of course it's not the main thing that will bridge the gap with the top teams but at the same time when it is clearly an issue, has been going for all season and is costing you goals, you have to work on it and fix it. It might not mean we'd win the league, but we might have been further up the table and had more points. The same with making the most of attacking set pieces. Sure we have other problems, whether it's playing far too slowly, turning back too often when we are in advanced positions and just passing the ball back or tip tap 5 yards passes out wide going nowhere, being left too exposed at the back if we lose the ball, not shooting enough etc, but set pieces can be worked on as well, changing from zonal to man-to-man marking is one thing that surely has to be implemented.

It’s obviously a problem, we conceded more than anyone else.

Play Dragusin,ffs,what more proof you need.!

Imma be real, really hard not to be skeptical about Ange at this point.

The negative comments I'm reading here are extremely short sighted and not coming from true supporters. Yes there are still things to be fixed and that will still take time. The good stuff however is as good as anything out there and that is what excites me. Arsenal are a class act at present and they were on their game today and save for some concentration issues we more then matched it with them. Just a little luck and the score was in our favour. I loved the comeback. This team will do us proud, they have the spirit and the talent and Ange will bring it through. Support your team if you are a true supporter.

"Set pieces is not the problem"😮 man you are done.. a shame bc we like the rest of your game

We were never beating them with Davies and Hojberg starting abso;lute garbage players who should be nowhere near the club, soon as the subs were made we actually looked like a team with Sarr and Bissouma and Johnson playing on the left with Richarlison upfront, we were just putting aimless balls into the box for Raya to catch with no focal point, as for the defending we need a defensive coach ASAP.

I don't understand what the fight, effort, victory and excitement were for when we were recruiting Radu. Was just for the sake of beating Bayern Munich and have the pleasure of keeping him on the bench? A top Italian league defender? The injustice to the emerging talent is devastating!

This whole recycling the ball back and side ways constantly looking for a perfect pass that no one ever goes for is really pissin me off. Its like no one ever wants to take a chance we are always trying to score the perfect goal its getting a bit silly now. Maddison needs to get himself closer to son start finding the little spaces in between the lines tottenham are fucking tiresome.

Jesus! He cannot see the problem is set piece and passing around instead of shooting?😢😢😢😢

Put Brian Dagul in goal. Can't see many players getting away with what they do to Vicario. 🤣

It’s is our problem; it’s been the problem for years. The annoying party is the quality of defenders has improved this season. With some of the defenders we’ve had in previous seasons conceding from set pieces pretty much every game was a given, fans hated it but expected it. With the quality we signed it should be getting better.

He's had a while to put things right. Maybe he'll do a runner.

Still refuses to accept that set pieces are an issue. Absolutely baffling.

I did not see thee full game , team selection was not one with this game plan, with that team and not changing accordingly too the teams spurs play will always let them loos

Start dragusin and lo celso next game

They have been a problem all season

It is

He’s on denial…wearing blinkers. Dead man walking…out of his depth in the EPL

He doesn't have decent tactics. Overrated manager.

IF??!!!! What the fuck has this man been watching this season!! He’s really starting to worry me with this dogmatic belief in playing. He needs to start adapting to the premier league

Get a set piece coach then!

Its been a problem for a while

Going forward we are poor and we can’t defend with this system. Same old spurs.

THEY ARE THE PROBLEM

As an Aussie I'm not surprised in the least. This guy is so stubborn and has delusions of grandeur. You're not in the Scotland farmers league now mate. Getting your pants pulled down on the world stage!😭

Dead man walking :(

We need Sonny back on the wing! Werner’s fast but he doesnt dribble in or can shoot.

63 points that’s what will finish on

Ange is really starting to annoy me. The way he fails to show any passion after any game, feels like he's speaking in PR language. "Were set pieces the problem today?" "well games can be tough and i like to play the high loyne and aspects of the game and bluh bluh bluh" get this PR fraud out of my club.

Interesting apparently he can't work with the team on drills AND set pieces aka walking and chew gum at the same time.

Let's be honest we lack communication. Only Romero had the passion to win or draw the match.

Is this guy blind?

No the whole team is trash

Give ange time. That's it. These players arent what he decided. In the beggining of the aeason he said he knewnthere would be tough times and we still need to support his role at the club. We have it in us to do what we need to... After all, our xg was way higher than arsenals today, so its not about the system, its about menatality of the players, and that hopefully can be fixed over time COYS and big up big ange

The Mikes have disappeared again.

Delusional

Do us a favour Postecoglou and go manage Australia, your out of your depth at this club.
