I’m sorry? We played like shit against Luton, Forest and Newcastle too, who are far from the best teams in the league.

We have played absolute wank since the wheels came off against Chelsea. In that time we have picked up points, but the performances have been super sketchy at best, and fucking woeful at times.

And that's with everyone back. We only have ONE first choice player unavailable. It's fucking awful.

Nobody is asking to sign Potter as manager. Though I think he’d actually be good for us if we can simply learn to lower our expectations to LEVY/ENIC reality.

Potter is a good manager (I keep repeating myself). But we have an equally good manager (if not better) than Potter, and people are starting to turn on him (just like they did against Poch, Jose and Conte).

Again, not talking about results, results have been fine for most of the season. I’m talking about football we played.

We don’t have the attack to play how he wants. His system needs wingers who link and take on players as well as a CF who can link.

We had Kane doing all of that for years. We don’t even have anyone who can link to the level of Bowen let alone Kane.

No he does not- we made that mistake with Mou and Conte, and will probably make it again with Ange. We aren’t signing elite talent and we aren’t a club that can realistically hope to win with managers needing certain special rosters.

Ange being coach next season will result in a mid season firing and we’ll lose at least either Romero or VdV the following window.

The two players who are actually behind him no doubt, if we sack him you're more likely to lose them in fact.

Romero is well behind this project he's already come out and publicly backed the manager, he understands, shame our fans don't.

The good thing is though that he's earned himself another year at least so you're just gonna have to get used to it, you need to relax man, things will improve.

Poch had lost the team, as had Jose and Conte.

The football was terrible at the end too; just under Conte and Jose it was almost always terrible, it just got worse.
 
I really like Ange but, I have been worried for quite a while now that, his football won't win in such a tough competitive league.
In the Scottish working mans league and or the Aussie league, yes it can work because the quality to punish you isn't available.

When will people understand that it's not the manager, but the players, and most importantly, the mentality of this football club? We keep signing mid-table Premier League players like Johnson hoping that they come good. Sometimes it works (Vicario, Udogie, Van De Ven), and sometimes they're a waste of space (Gil, Solomon, Emerson)...

Do you have solid evidence Ange did not sign Brennan? Half of this team is his..don't forget that. His post match interviews just so a complete ignorance and stubborness. BUT he gets another season. Sacking another guy. When do we just stop and give someone time

Ok ShadyDan- look you’re entitled to your opinion and I’m not mad at you for it. We’ll just have to see how it all plays out.

Romero is vice-captain and can’t be reasonably expected to do anything but support the manager. So that bit is a bit of a red-herring.

I don’t even agree that Ange is strictly better than Potter. Potter at least won’t throw his players under the bus like a little bitch.

Did you see the game today? Or against Scum? Those performances are all on the players. There's no chance Ange is coaching them to mess up a 3v2 by passing backwards.
Newcastle away was on Ange. Those 2 other games weren't.

Well according to Neville teams defended more centrally against us as the season went on meaning our wingers and striker needed to link more to break them down which they aren’t as good at as they should be.

Sure, so our players are so hopeless that even the manager can’t even find solutions to this.

A good coach, a real coach, a real teacher and a real communicator make all the difference in being able to get through to the players, prepare them, and properly motivate them.
