This aged well…

It'll happen again tonight. We'll concede from a set piece.

Jordan defends anything Spurs and his mate Levy

Chelsea SCORED 2 Set pieces tonight fyi

Simon is spot on, he gets it!

Simon’s defence, of Levy and anything Spuds, is so solid he’d win the Quadruple.

Culture my backside... What's more spursy than conceding three goals in the first half to ur biggest rivals. Conte's words still ringing true!

Nonsense, every successful team can defend and has a good defence. Hogwash

Ange has had an ok first season. Spurs playing their most attractive football in several years. Proven to be stubborn and naive in first managerial job in the Prem. The honeymoon is now over. If spurs don't hit the ground running next season, the knives will be out.

06:00 Pep also had an open checkbook and no 'real' financial regulations

Spurs just need to get their recruitment right, and they will be in the mix. It is on the recruitment team to identify players that are undervalued and can be improved by Postecoglou's coaching. Even Man City rarely buy galacticos (Haaland and Grealish being exceptions to the rule): they have a profile of player that they look for, that they can plug into the Pep coaching machine and add +£30m in value.

business of winning? winning teams defend and attack set pieces with consistency

People forget Spurs took 18 games to concede a single goal from a corner. 23 games until the 2nd goal conceded and it started being a thing in the media.. There was originally a lot of praise for their defending at set pieces, but it's easier to just look at recent form. There's obviously been a drop off and teams are targeting that since the second Everton game, but Ange is right not to overreact and panic his squad/staff into doubling their time training set pieces. If they get better at controlling games more generally and get a couple stronger aerial players in, it's very quickly not a huge issue.

Honestly, does Simon have shares in Spurs because Ange is immune to criticism apparently due to Ange ball mate.

Ange has concided 3 corner goals in two matches

Postenoclue thinks defending is not his style. It’s a critical requirement “mate”, not an optional thing.

Ange will focus on finding players who 1. who make strong defensive decisions 2. who make fewer defensive mistakes 3. players who can play as an upfield defense 4. players who create and convert scoring chances.... and all with a winning mentality..... running until they drop... preseason is gonna hurt big time.

Is Simon a Spurs fan? 😂

Ange has not raised the bar, Spurs will never win anything with this guy, any manager who believes they can play the same way, same tactics, for every opponent or plays a high line with 9 players or believes set piece defending is not important, 60% of goals come from set pieces, is delusional, get rid

Sir Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber 💯 Facts

SJ said the Truth. Ange is a WC manager who will win nothing with the Spurs 👌

Simon, he had 15 days to prepare to play against spurs’s arch rivals. Arsenal played 4 games in that time. His not silly. But he’s certainly stubborn and slightly naive. You cannot kick on without a Plan B.

Simon has it pretty well spot on here, I hjave watched Ange teams play over the years and that is the best analysis on AP teams since he has come to the Premier League

So many bots

Imagine Simons response if Arteta had lost at the weekend and said that? Simons on Levys payroll 100%

Can you guys finally agree this guy works for Levy. Please don’t take his views on my club ARSENAL seriously. Goffy!

If you can’t defend from set pieces and concede goals you will not win games in this league. Set pieces are so important nowadays and the childish reaction that he doesn’t have any interest in that side of the game is a joke just ask Celtic fans. The man has one way of coaching and that’s why he will never reach the top of the game. Martin O’Neill, Brendan Rodgers, Neil Lennon and even Wim Jansen all done exactly the same job in Scotland as Ange so let’s not make him out to be something special which he clearly is not, he will b at Spurs another 18 months and then he will be sacked and we will never hear of him in this country again.

Simon backed Chelsea for top 4 haha. Shows how much he knows about football

Postecoglou is the MAN

Simon will always defend his Daniel Levy.

Of all players he's doubting Pedro Porro the guy doesn't know anything about football 🤡🤡🤡

Simon you are wrong. Ossie Ardiles had the same philosophy, we might let in three or four but we will score four or five. IT DON'T WORK!!!

Well said back the Gaffa 👍 If he fixes the spursy mentality he will become legendary 💪

Great commentary Simon! Ange is definitely changing the culture first! Then success will follow!

I agree simon you right mate ❤❤❤❤

Simon Jordan is living proof of some clubs having their media (paid) voice. His defence of incompetent cowboys from Chelsea (Boehly) and stubborn Levy from Tottenham is just ridiculous.

These guys in the media talk outta their back sides. When Arteta said there were times he thought about subbing a GK they all said blah blah blah. Now it Ange and they are like he doesn't really mean it that way.

The mental gymnastics from Simon to justify a dumb comment is astounding

In a way Ange has exceeded expectations. The expectation is that Spurs never win anything but often get past the first few rounds of the domestic cups, and Ange has exceeded that by going out of both early.

"hes not a silly man" and "i dont care about our record with set pieces" Mutually exclusive

Can you imagine Pat Jennings struggling with set pieces back in the day? It just wouldn't happen, he would organise his defence and command his goal. If things continue like this at Spurs, there's only one outcome I'm afraid.

Villa have conceded more goals from set pieces than spurs this season

Setpieces will always be part the game, and if teams are getting stronger at them then pretty silly to rule them out

Daniel Levy’s media mouthpiece in full swing here

You do know the Real Madrid zone marks defending corners and does not put someone to assist goal keeper ???

Simon one minute defends levy next week he will be saying he doesnt spend enough.....bottom line is levy needs to invest way more money into the team /squad with 250m plus his summer ....we will see all on levy now

The set piece situation is really just Vicario. He needs to deal with it.

Gangho it is then Ange 😂😂😂😂 Ange clearly isn't going to change or adapt to the EPL, he's going to force his style of play on opposition teams.... The only question is how long he will last doing it at Tottenham...🤔

Agree with simon, but I really hope the behind the scenes that he is working on set pieces and he does see it as problem. I do get what he is trying to do is create winning culture.

Ange will prove everyone wrong,like he’s done years after years.He’s a proven winner and I actually think the only thing that could stop him is Levy not backing him in the transfer window.COYS.

I never saw so much passion for Arteta who in his first job ever as a manager has to turn around a football club that was in total shambles with bang average players rotting the squad at the time. But we all know he has a kind spot for Tottenham. It’s too bad it’s biasing his opinion on Arsenal.

Ange is everyone’s best mate down the pub. If he wasn’t he’d be given a hard time.

Tino Werner catching strays 😬

Angeball 💯 ❤

Did he say Spurs were glamorous? Make it make sense.

Arteta took time, even Last year with a really good side they folded like a cheap suit… give him a few windows.

Simon should set up a separate Spurs apologetics channel....when will Daniel Levy release his grip hold on talk sport

It's like saying I'll raise my GPA to 4.0 but refusing to study math

For anyone who thinks ange isn’t good enough. Look through his record as a manager in Australia, International team manager, Japan and Scotland. This exact conversation on his tactics was said 20 years ago, repeated year after year and he’s made everyone eat their words since. I hate spurs but he’s built different and will change English football. It’s just like how Australians and even Kiwis have had to change English cricket, Australians have just taken longer to get to the PL table.

Spurs have won so many trophies this season

Imagine if it was arteta said what that Spurs manager said I guarantee you Jordan tune would be different

Remember people laughed when Pep says he doesn’t coach tackles

Guaranteed Chelsea win tonight. Tottenham will just about fall over the line for European football next season.

This discussion is a waste of time. Need to focus on what Ange thinks he needs to fix first. Clearly set pieces are important but it's not a priority yet for Ange.

Simon defends anything Tottenham. I wonder why? Nothing to do with his BF Mr Levy

Course he does. If it was arteta he would waffle on for days

Well done you 'Five - minutes - into - the - future - commentators - and - fans.' Ange is looking years into this VERY challenging Tottenham project in the best league in the world (apparently). Tottenham fans are SO quick with the knives. No wonder your trophy cabinet holds a lot of dust. Hang in there Ange these fans are bi-polar.

Ange has the experience and the words, he also understands the vicious nonsense......leave him alone......stop with the cowardly bile.....let him work on his team.....

Ange is not interested in getting 4th and not interested in defending set pieces. What's next. Not interested in winning? Spurs really found a manager that matches their history and DNA.

Whos here after they've just conceded 2 set piece goals against Chelsea after 70 mins 😂😂😂 mug

Poch in rebuild with players he doesn't want. Ange is media darlin who can't do wrong

We dont care about CL football. We dont care about set pieces. We only play one way regardless of the opposition. God forbid if poch, arteta or ten hag said any of those things 😂

"whether pedro porro is a good enough player" LOL

It’s so naive of spurs not to try and deal with such a hole. It is something all opposition teams will use to win. Football is a game of fine margins to whether a team wins or loses.

Does SJ wear polo necks to hide the fact he has no Adams apple

Simon can never admit when hes wrong. He stuck his neck out by putting Ange on a pedestal, and now its looking like he was wrong again. If that was Olly at the wheel saying these things he would be horrified.

It’s a truly absurd comment, and policy. He clearly means it, Tottenham have conceded 4 goals in their 2 games from set pieces. 30% of EPL goals come from set pieces. Hardly a ‘marginal gain’ Simon 🤦🏻‍♂️

He is tonight losing 2 nil😅

Pinocchio jim is back

Costepoglou

Simon loves spurs

agree, they can work on set-pieces all they want they're still a joke club

VStop the Hate against Arsenal and follow your own process Spursy

As a Celtic fan,we still have problems with set pieces but I do get where Ange is coming from if you buy the best defenders and goalie you shouldn't need to spend a lot of time coaching them how to defend. Where he does need to change in the PL is until he gets the world-class players to play his system he should have a plan B regarding formation changes. He got away with it in Scotland ,he will never get away with it in the PL even with 11 world-class players.

Again,I have to agree with Simon. All surrporters want instant success. It doesnt happen overnight or in one season. Give Poch and Ange a fair go. Surrporters are like virgins in a whorehouse......g>ve me instant gratification!

People still think Spurs can win the league.

Ange is evolving into a Manager that isn't really worth listening to. He's likeable for sure and he's charismatic but his cv doesn't say very much. He seems to change his story regularly. Hopefully, he's not out of his depth...

Spurs will sack him within the next year he’s clueless

Better players is so annoying! 20 months ago with a lesser squad (with the exemption of Harry Kane) was predicted to be city’s biggest rivals under Conte, he flopped so now the players aren’t good enough 🙄

Making a mountain out of a mole hill the media here.

Simon doesn’t follow football or have a clue what’s going during play… he gets his bits off whatever was sensationalised on the day of. Let this be Arteta or Klopp saying they don’t need a set piece coach he will call them arrogant foreigners.

😂 you cant stop set pieces in football games talking rubbish SJ 😂

Well, I'm a Rangers fan who said, "Ange who?" when he turned up at Celtic, and I'm big enough to admit that we all know who he is now. Having said that, he's being unnecessarily stubborn here: it IS a game of fine margins. Just ask all those ex-England managers who scoffed at the idea of practicing penalties if you need proof.

I don't really get the spurs argument...you're angry becuase you're 5th? I mean credit to villa who I don't think have a better squad but are over performing . But can spurs really say they have a better team than Liverpool...arsenal or man city? I assume spurs fans are not delusional so the answer must be no .....so how can you be dissatisfied with being below them ? Or is it not the the actual being 5th or just the losing a couple in the row ? But this is synonymous with being 5th you're gonna lose games . This manager came in ..successfully galvanised a team ...successfully improved the way they play now now he needs time and money to put better players in who arnt good enough to finish in the top 4. Which again spurs must admit there are players in that squad who sre just not champions league level so again how would you demand them to get champions league football. For me I see a team that could be argued to be the 6th ..5th or 4th best team in the league and they're sitting at 5th. Fair enough for a manger who's just come in and hasn't brought in his style of player yet.

Let's talk about city and the 115 or are you to scared now 😂

Simon is daydreaming which player in the world that has won things as he puts it is going to go to Tottenham Spurs.

Simon is an ex owner who shouldn’t be talking about something he knows nothing about ,he’s clearly on the Ange team bus but the man’s not a good manager in the premier league,and it’s very clear.Arsenal forever 😂

Have you had a letter from city Simon? , time to keep your mouth shut.

The way Simon simp for Spurs and Ange is cringy

Ange will fail epically next season if he continues being stubborn.
