Even though this post wasn't directed towards me... it felt like a personal attack....
REALLY interesting line to me in that was:
That didn't feel like a throwaway line. Question is, which staff are feeling like they have the luxury of not buying in? If they have been here since before Ange, get them out the door rapid.
I've heard from a friend that works in Finance there that they all love Ange. Whether that matters much I have no idea.
Who loves Ange? The guys in finance or the players???
We've got 3 good centre backs and 2 solid wing backs when fit. We should at least give 532 a go.
But we wont because he doesnt know how to change his style

I don’t put anyone on ignore. I’m certainly not a happy clapper but every single post lately is a personal dig at the manager. Fair enough you don’t like him but not every one has to be derogatory you fucking ugly cunt
Fully understand that team improvements and progression are not always a linear process and the trajectory can go up or down. But in most situations like this I would always expect things to be messy at the start and then show clear lines of improvement. How this has happened in the opposite way is hard to comprehend.
At the beginning of the process there might be players not up to it in training or on the pitch, players that don’t or can’t get it, the manager’s message not sinking in or the coaching not achieving what it should. At some point, sooner rather than later we would hope, we would expect to see some green shoots, some steady improvement and signs of real progress. For whatever reason it has happened the other way around.
The difficulty I have is because going out of the cups so early, essentially playing one game a week, should have at least allowed the principles of what was trying to be achieved to become embedded and for them to be visible to us fans, albeit with some of the jigsaw pieces missing. I’m really not seeing it.
Sticking my neck out here, but I’m fine to give him the chance of continuing and seeing if he really has got what is needed and can actually turn things around. My worry is that with the team buggering off to Australia at the end of the season, then the Euros and holidays etc he will have little if any time to instil his methods to even any marquee signings (lol) let alone any of the current crop who remain.
Winning is hard.

and 0 good wide forwards, yet we use 2 and play a system that they become the focal point in when it comes to attacking.

far more solid than what we are watching. should create chances for the front 2 that side too. drag massively helps with set piece issues.
Totally agree and that’s what forums are for. I’m just in a cunt of a mood like us all but don’t have to get personal in every post. There’s people at the club that I don’t think should be there and are poor players but not every post is constantly slaughtering them.
I’ll flit between both if that’s ok
Probably keep the chocolate for last
Mate, that's not who we are.
We are a team that's really easy to beat now everyone know's who we are. Mate.
Fair play mate. You’re more optimistic than me
We were just found out. Deep block and counter is how to beat us.
If this system is to work we need to create and take early chances to get the other team coming forward.
Therefore giving us more space.
We seem out of ideas on how to do this. Or too afraid.
We need better quality at both wings, someone who can beat their man with good technical ability, vision, and courage to find the pass/cross.
A solid DM also to cover the back 4.
Oh, and a new striker.
