His team just aren’t that great. They’ve yet to replace some of the transfer mistakes in recent years and ten Hag hasn’t been the momentous change people hoped for.

Has he not had power over the choices made since he's been in charge? Union haven't been shy about spending the money

isn’t he banned? Either way I wouldn’t say huge success. Wasn’t he involved in hiring and then firing Nuno and then Conte? Last season’s rant was symbolic of massive failure at spurs not success. Is the current coach his signing?
As for the player signings, he might have done better than his time here but hardly a huge success either. They’re riding a high right now similar to Contes first 6 months where they snuck into the top 4 against all odds. The problem with Spurs has always been sustainability. They lull you into thinking they’re a top team and then implode under pressure.

Looks like they gave him too much control over transfers his signings have been largely flops and expensive too.
The toxicity can bring anyone down, but he also seems to underestimate the level of upgrade he needed to bring in to compete. He’s worked with some of the players at Ajax it’s a really poor reflection on his judgment that he thought Antony could be ready for United in the near term. Hojlund might come good over time but again he doesn’t have the luxury of time and should of gone for someone more ready. Good enough for Ajax to then slowly integrate and nurture young players over years does not translate to the United pressure and time constraints.
My read is that he has introduced more discipline and standards in the dressing room which is really good but his squad building is waaay too slow for United

I don't understand why Tottenham played a high line with 9 men when the score was 1-1. Chelsea had a few clear chances to score against that flat defensive line but Tottenham kept doing that. Eventually Jackson scored 2-1 and then more goals to come. I thought a team should play defense if they're down to 9 men. Is that the instruction from the Tottenham coach to play a high line when the score was 1-1?
i kinda watched the 2nd half and thought that even with 9 men, spurs had a chance to win it, chelsea were so chicken shit. spurs could have definitely snatched a point without gifting their own half to chelsea and offer the chance of as many counters as chelsea desired. i generally like ange and his all-in attacking approach, but yesterday he should have had a plan b. defending at the half line with 2 men down is rather suicidal and dumb than heroic.
I agree with Ange up to the line being at half. That was stupid but in general I'd go for offside traps and sweeper keeper instead of sitting in your box. Didn't Klopp sit in his box with 9 men and lost as well?
I don't know if there is a good answer. I actually thought Spurs were doing well for 20 mins of that nonsense but all the way to the half line was comedy.
The high line with 9 shakes the opponent because they have to break all their routines but eventually they calm down and pick a pass. Also playing outside your box lets you foul non stop as Spurs were doing. It allows throw ins and for you to be fouled etc. Lots of time wasting. Less corner kicks to defend.
But once you see your opponent calm down and find a plan you have to stop
