goon It's another study in contrast with Arteta, who was happy to use ideas other than his preferred ones for a couple of seasons before obtaining his "specificity".
Big Ange is looking a rube in the public sphere of a bigger league with harder challenges. He's blowing the karma he accumulated backing himself against promising early results with this slew of wasteful, clueless Spurs performances, backdropped by his attitude which till now has seemed cavalier.
So all of a sudden he's in the confession box telling the judgemental public half his squad is bound for Hell.
The calls against Postecoglou are coming now from Spuds fans not haters, notably on this issue of his hand-picked defensive coach Jedinak failing to organise Spurs for set pieces. Postecoglou must adapt and be humble, or win: there are no other roads to survival. And that means adaptation, because any victories are a long way off.
Arteta went through worse though. Half of OMITT wanted him guillotined for crimes against football at one point.
