The guy has more personality than any manager we’ve had since Venables.

This manager has won at every level he’s been at and is only just over a year in at this level. Arteta and Klopp had won fuck all at this point.

Least he knows it was unacceptable.
Was a little concerned that he'd come out and say we were unlucky,or should have won it bar a couple of lapses.

"It was disappointing and I’m absolutely gutted with that," said Postecoglou.

"It's an unacceptable second half - we were nowhere near where we should be. Maybe we got carried away with how we were going.

It’s a terrible loss for us, as bad as it gets, and there’s only one way to fix it and that’s my responsibility.

"We lost all our duels, we weren’t competitive and if you're not competitive, irrespective of what you do tactically, it is not going to work."

Super words in truth.Should have been emphasised at half-time.

It's a collective failing but it falls mostly on Postecoglou. That's just how it is.

If he thought that the team lost all their duels in the second half then perhaps he should have changed things before the 79th minute which was a full 13 minutes after we went 3-2 down. Zero sympathy I am afraid

coventry really was probably a disaster, potentially killed our season by keeping him too long, got a dream run of games against a pile of absolute shit and a united team thats been the worst its ever been. now we go into another international break and hes got a bit of credit before hitting overdraft because of some wins against some utter crap that even his celtic team would of beat.

today should of been an easy win, but hes come up against a 31 year old and an average brighton side that have schooled him and given him yet another reality check. second half all he could do was look gormless on the sideline....hes out of ideas on how to fix things because hes never been at anywhere near this level before and its all new to him that his kamikaze shit doesnt work against competent sides.

i actually thought maybe weve turned a corner, the 2 10s, the FB's not getting in the way as much in the final third now and johnson not hugging the sideline being completely useless...but one thing that hes never going to learn, is how to adapt to in game to situations quick and fast in this league. hes got to be the worst manager in the league, plays one way and doesnt know how to wrestle back momentum once its clearly slipping away. hes cost us today, weve gone to play a brighton team that probably costs a 1/4 of what our squad does, and his lack of nous on how to see a game out or wrestle back momentum with superior players has cost us.

"its who we are" useless cunts who get exploited and embarrassed when we play any semi competent side.

I can’t disagree with any of this. Sadly.

its never his fault. thats why he stands there looking gormless shaking his head like the players have let him down. the players that have run themselves into the ground due to his caveman kamikaze shit.

I think he simply wants to see how his big players react to adversity during games, hence why he often delays more than we'd like. What today showed was our big players often go missing when it really matters and we're fighting an uphill battle to get a result.

I don't think he can do anything about it, he sets the team up to play one way only.
If the other team, gains the upper hand like today, he is unable to change anything.
 
Common sense and proffesionlism tells you at 2 zip up at half time away from home in the toughest league in the world is you take the win not go out and try to win 5 or 6 because your ethos is that off p.t fucking barnum wanting to be the greatest showman....fuckoff .
