I was out yesterday to watch the match with a load of mates including a couple of Spurs fans and they were saying pretty much what you are saying.I think he's got to be given some time. It's his first season, and he's taken them from 8th to 5th which they would've taken at the start of the season.
Klopp and Pep didn't have stellar first seasons and were both accused of being inflexible in different ways. Not that he's on their level, but still the point stands that you need to be given some time and probably more transfer windows to ship jokers like Emerson Royale and Ben Davies out of the club. They also need to seriously freshen their forward line up. Son is a fading power now, Kulusevski has some quality but no speed and no tricks to get away from a man out wide, Werner's speed and nothing else and Richy has his qualities but is very limited technically. It's just not a great set of options.
Having said all of that, it's fair to criticise Ange for being inflexible and a bit naive at times, and I know some Spurs fans who still very much support him but raise the same questions about him. He'll have to adapt and improve to work out long term in the job. I'm quite sure he realises that, whatever he says in the media.
Give him time because they really do not want to change again.
They think he can take them forward, but he has to adapt, you can't keep playing the same way, and cant ignore the fact they are regularly leaking goals from set pieces.
I will admit i'm not sure about him.
I will also admit i was mildly irritated at the hysterical over hype after the first ten games, and fair play to my mates they never got carried away with it all, saying they hadn't beaten anybody of note only the shite and that was because of unbelievable incompetence of the officials
