The play up to the final third is really good, the pressing off the ball is good even some of the stuff in the final third is good but apart from Maddison and Kulusveski at times no one commits anyone. Has to be perfect pass snd move combinations to work space in the box.

I’m hoping Odobert offers something in that regard but it still feels like a big issue from last season that has been resolved over the summer, we have to work so hard to turn that possession and territory into good chances.

I didn't see that have any videos anybody?

For me I've thought this for a while, it's the fact we continue to play such a narrow team I don't get it

Sticking to this formation to me is mental even if players don't fit

Werner on the right and Richy on the left when our formation requires our wide attackers to stay wide doesn't make sense

If we don't have the players why can't we change the shape, not specifically the style but shape

Lots of it doesn't make sense. I'm not sure he knows what he's doing..... wonder if David Pleat will pick up the phone from his retirement to point it out to Levy.

Half the forum laughed at me when I said he’ll be sacked by Christmas. People forget just how badly we ended last season. Ange is way out of his depth in this league. We seriously need to start considering who our next manager is going to be because it’s going to happen a lot sooner than people realise

Start a 'new manager' poll / thread, mate. They're always very popular and attract a lot of interest across the forum.
I would do it myself but as I'm on the 'most ignored ' list I'm unable to start threads I think

It does kinda feel that way.

Tactical one-trick pony. Continues to play his favourites despite them not being good enough. Sanctioned some questionable transfers too.

Son & Solanke up top would get us goals

Yes 3 at the back might help defensively, we'd have decent wingbacks supplying the width with Son and Solanke as a front duo. Negates our shit wingers and adds a bit more solidity but doubt we'll see that under Ange.

First time the doubts are creeping in, if we can’t sort out these game management issues it’s a terminal issue for his tenure. Last year it was okay considering the focus was on getting comfortable playing a pressing, front footed, possession based style. Can’t regularly happen in year two though.

We simply can’t be this brittle, it’s clear as day we’re not playing a style that’s tenable to win regularly in the Premier League. It’s far too loose.

Reminds me a lot of Redknapp, though Ange is obviously a much more endearing personality. It looks good when it’s working but is such a house of cards. And Ange doesn’t have the luxury of the best midfielder of his generation pulling strings for him.

Concerning overall.

Agree although Redknapp is some way ahead of Ange (though he had better players).

He wanted players like Gallagher, Neto and Eze if what we’ve heard is to be believed. Yet we’ve only bought him Solanke. Have we done enough to get him the players he wants? Doesn’t look like it.

Just another one stitched up, but then i remember he must have sanctioned the return of Werner and start to lose a bit of sympathy. Open to debate if he'll be good enough but whatever happens i think we all know he isnt the main issue at this club.

What structure are you seeing?

Genuine question.

To me it's often a disorganised mess.

The worst kind of structure; one that’s formulaic and easy to counteract ( even my Championship level players ) . That was the first half.

FWIW : in my view the second half was a “ complete mess “ ; believe me I wouldn’t disagree with you for one moment. It seemed shambolic …if I’m being honest.

I really really hope tonight was just a glitch.

Yeah he really can't be complaining about a lack of quality finishing and being wasteful like he did after the match today and also sign off on keeping a player like Werner.

Levy is always going to be the main issue at this club and is always going to stitch up a manager, that's a given at this point quite frankly but I would also argue if Ange is accepting players he doesn't really want then he is too weak to be manager in the first place.

The alternative is not to sign off then have no players. I think it was Poch who got very annoyed with the N’jie/Nkoudou signings and basically said no but that means the squad just burns out down the line.
