He can take responsibility all he wants it’s not going to magically improve when you have the same players trying to fix the same issue…

The responsibility was on people above ange to sort out the issue in the summer and they’ve given him just 1 first team player to do that, when it was clear we needed a lot more .

Magically improve seems to be what most people are moaning about tbf.

Improvement isn’t linear and it’s always a bumpy ride.
 
His gruff ‘charm’ isn’t going to work anymore. It’s boring and overplayed.

He’ll need to spank Everton as it’s Newcastle away and the Scum after that.

And the worrying thing is when they equalised , I would imagine a good percentage of us supporters just knew it would happen

I had that ugly feeling at half time to be fair brother.

I loved the first half, dominating having some 8 corners, 10 shots ( 5 on goal ), etc, buuuuut going in at only 1 nil , I just felt it.

Sad state of affairs to be honest. We needed to bury those maggots in the first 45.
Made it worse by being a 5 am start down under.
 
The annoying thing about last night was we absolutely destroyed them for an hour, our passing was sharp we gave nothing away at the back and then we drop off give them a sloppy goal and we lose the plot for 15 minutes or so, but the underlying problem and it has been for a year now is we do not score enough goals when we are on top. We should have been 4 up at least by half time and 6 up by the time they scored. Ange was spot on with his analysis we need to be much more ruthless in front of goal
 
My concern was the last 3rd of last seasons results and performances would just bleed into this one. Seen it with Hoddle, Ramos and Poch. We either needed to adjust tactics or change 3 or 4 of the first team and we've done neither. I think after 2 pre seasons you expect to see an improvement. Of course there will be blips along the way but we've not been great since January. No one is saying sack him after 1 game, but i'd expect to see a pretty big improvement in the next 10 or so. Managers are judged on results you cant get through solely on force of personality.

looked vulnerable twice in 90.mins.

We are an attacking team that throws bodies forward and takes risks. Twice in 90mins is decent.

But look just how vulnerable it was! Schoolboy error. That should not be happening with a top team with title ambitions, yet it has in one form or another since November. And I haven't as yet seen evidence to convince me that it will stop occurring.

Despite what Ange is saying, we don't not have title ambitions. The target is 4th. Don't kid yourself or allow yourself to be fooled.

Eh?

Not taking chances is a system issue?

If the system creates chances then it’s working.

No team goes through a game against any opponent without giving up chances. We gave 2 chances today and conceded from 1. Because we hadn’t taken one of the many we created we paid for that with 2 points.

As for luck and exceptions to rules, I genuinely have no clue what you were saying there. It was like reading a sentence from a Joe Biden debate

Yesterday wasn't a systems issue although i don't like some of the things our centre backs did and that could possibly be because of the system.

During the first phase of the Leicester goal Romero had no business rushing to the Leicester player on the left hand side where Porro looked like he had the situation under control. All it did was cause Romero to be out of position for the 2nd phase which evidently resulted in the goal. Now this can be down to Romero himself but Ange needs to be making him aware that it wasn't necessary.

Agree, i mean for all the bluster thats Tottenham now, hoping to nick 4th. Trouble is we've won 4 of our last 12 league games, Luton, Forest, Burnley at home and Sheff Utd away. Even 4th looks a long way off at the moment.

Mate, I got myself into a positive mindset with a new season. Don't get me started again.

We did enough to win yesterday, and should have. For me I saw more that was reminiscent of our start last season than in the subsequent two thirds.

He's got to get us being more clinical or we (and he) will be in trouble. We have to score multiple goals to guarantee the win. One isn't enough for his system.

Agree. Romero wasnt at his best for the goal at all.
