Well, after 10 games, other prem teams figured out that playing Royal and Davies as our center back pair wasn't very good - bit still managed a 3-3 draw away at City.
We went on another decent run when Romero was back from suspension and Richarlison was finally fit. We won 11 out of 16 games, only losing 2 games to Wolves and Fulham.
There is no shame in losing to Liverpool, Woolwich and City towards the end of the season. They are better than us and all were playing for the title. Chelsea and Newcastle are could have gone our way, but the players on the pitch shit the bed with individual errors - not so much the system.
There is a long way to go before we can compete for the title but turning around 2 or 3 results next season with squad improvements is easily achievable.
I do, it means finding out how to outplay, outthink, and outmanoeuvre your opponent tactically to achieve victory.
Yet here we are, on the precipice of finishing 5th.
If you're a known quantity and can be solved as easily as picking an apple off a tree like some on here are making it out to be, then how the fuck are we 5th?
Nobody can answer that.
We've lost to last year's top 4 sides in the run-in to try to push for top 4. We fell short. No shame in that.
Problem is Ange created by being a moaning bitch.
“Oh no some people wanted us to lose against Woolwich. I don’t understand. I’m a winner. Australian mate. The foundations are weak. My mindset has to change blah blah blah.”
Should have kept his thoughts to himself and moved onto Sheffield United.
Instead we get this rigmarole. He’s created this drama for no reason.
You reap what you sow.
Yeah cos they weren’t moany Karens before the City game.
Like clockwork, I think his eyes genuinely light up when there's even a hint of a chance to do it
Indeed after initial success - other EPL managers seem to have found out how to “outplay, outthink and outmanoeuvre” Ange’s tactics.
In the last 10 games, we’ve lost to EVERY ONE of last years Top Four sides with a minus 9 goal difference and lost to Fulham 3-0 and Chavs 2-0. But we did draw West Ham! And at their place!
So that’s 6 losses and 1 draw against Top half sides (and Fulham 14th in the table). If you don’t think that’s a shameful (or at least very vey concerning) run of games - then we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Maybe you take more comfort in beating relegation fodder - Forest, Luton and Burnley than I do.
Were they moaning about this shit? It’s fucking everywhere because he can’t handle his emotions like an English man would.
We need a manager like Jacob Rees Mogg.
Stiff upper lip time. Not lemons, not Italian histrionics, not Aussie mate bollocks.
Someone who is calculating and knows how to wear a tailored saville row suit. Or maybe a waistcoat.
You know who I mean.
Yet you conveniently left out Villa.
Fine ONE WIN 1 draw 6 losses with minus TEN (not 14) goal difference against the Top half + Fulham in last 11. Hmmm still not inspired by recent results …
Oh sorry plus 3 wins against relegation fodder with a DOMINATING plus 4 goal difference.
Obviously I hope Ange succeeds but I genuinely don’t understand why some people are so confident that we won’t be mid table come December. If you’re in the fearing the worst - hoping for the best camp with me - then fine - but to look at recent results and be anything but really really concerned is puzzling (at least to me).

I believe 5th is as decent a platform as you'll get from a manager in his first season who lost arguably the best player in the league over the summer and wasn't replaced coupled with the 3rd worst injury crisis in the league.
Yeah, I'm fully onboard with Ange.
Because that's not how football works, people can see the issues. it needs time and recruitment to sort out.
Agree to disagree it is. Hope you’re right and I'm wrong … but I fear the SPFL with Celtic may be Ange’s his level.
We played beautifully against City and with the injection of some quality players we’d be contending for the title next year
Somewhat.
I think most fans will simply ask him why it took so long and in that game of all games to change things round.
Then he goes on the attack.
His press conference on Friday will be very interesting as will the line-up.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs project is a magnificent act of misdirection | Jonathan Liew
There is no shame in losing to the champions and Tottenham manager has made the same failure taste much better

Worth a read.
Not all affected by key injuries or suspensions or inadequacy of front line etc.?!Have you actually watched us since the Chavs raped us on 6 November ?
The football has been shite or can’t you tell the difference?
We’ve lost 6 out of the last 7 and just scraped a win against Burnley ffs who nearly beat us?
Are you blind?
When was the last time we kept a clean sheet?
Come back Nuno all is forgiven
yes a good read, hopefully more in the media will question ange,
Yes great first 10 games, but since then what?
yes up until christmas we had to use many second 11 players, so had to expect some poor results
but since the new year our results have been poor
trying to come back from 3 or 4 nil down WHY are we 3/4 nil down is the question to ask
this lack of changing play when we don't have Richy or our LB shows madness to me
Why put Royal or Skipp at LB when the best change was VDV & Drag as CB
Son as CF he has never played well as CF just doesn't like being bished & bashed, so play without a CF
Finally Ange changed against City we for me we look miles better than we have for a long time
Its OK when Ange says CL is not important or sign of progress But when we choose Stopping the gooners above CL we have it wrong,

Conte valued experience over anything. Hence why we signed 4 players unsuitable for his system . He also has always relied on a DOF to build his squad and at Inter he trusted their team president and his DoF to do that. Conte does nothing t come with lists but he pushed for Lenglet over players like Lacroix and Badishelie.
