Is that Yang? Asking for Bentancur.
 
Lose against the Man City kids during the week and Villa next weekend and we’ll ’fingers crossed’ see the end of the Ange experiment. He reminds me of my manager - lovely person but miles out of their depth
 
I've always agreed that no manager is ever as safe as you think they are.. People didn't expect Nuno to just be only the one game away from the sack before the Man Utd game. But, the reality of being on the end of defeats is worse than the prospect of it.

However, Nuno didn't have the cult of personality support that this manager seems to have. Fans didn't take to Nuno from the off, whereas the current manager has all previous poor performances washed away after a few wins even if they are against lesser opposition in cup competitions.

The worst thing that was allowed to happen was this adoption of phrases like Ange-Ball. Are we the only fanbase that mythologises managers to this level before they do bugger all for us? A lot of other clubs actually wait for the manager to be successful or at least show promise of success before the hero-worship.
It's very hard to disagree with anything you've said here....but I want to maintain my position as a cultist of ange-ball, and that when we inevitably get relegated under him and come back up to the PL a season or two later with a new manager, I'll continue to infuriatingly refer to any moment we play excellent attacking football, as well as suicide defending of course...as football inspired by my beloved Ange-ball. :ledleylick:
 
A lot of over reaction in here, I still believe Ange is a good manager

And before anyone says it, no this is not Mrs Postecoglou

Ange is a “good” manager. 100%.

We have had Poch, Conte and Mourinho. 2 of the greatest managers alive today working in the game. And a lemon obsessed mad man.
Nobody can argue with that.

They couldn’t crack the Tottenham job. Ange is getting paid a 1/3 of what we paid Jose and Antonio. What should we expect from him. As much as those two? They didn’t achieve fuck all!!

hes not a good premier league level manager. he might be "good" in leagues where you can get away with giving a 'any given sunday' speech before a game because the standards poor. this is a big boy league where you need to know your shit, he hasnt got a clue.
 
Remember that we played a lot less games last season and we struggled then. Now in his second year, weve regressed even further, we’re 9 games into a season and weve got more games to play this season in total. Weve struggled against a club odds on to be relegated and we simply got outplayed and even gave them their first win of the season. Soon the players will be completely deflated and lose faith in Anges “tactics”

It’s going to get a lot worse

How comes he finished 5th last season and we are currently unbeaten in Europe and top half in the premier league then?

Managed and won trophies in various leagues.

If he’s they bad we would be struggling to do anything. Which we are clearly not doing.

He’s a good manager. You don’t get to this level at his age being shit.

we finished 5th because of the new manager bounce and games pre chelsea, once he exposed himself in the chelsea game weve been where? 10th?

weve beaten a load of shit in europe it hasnt even begun. weve played championship level sides! we are only 10th because the quality of our players its fuck all to do with this clown. hes dragging us down. if he took control of a squad that should be finishing 10th hed get them relegated.

managed and won trophies in mickey mouse leagues. whats he done of note? fuck all. the ony reason we are the mugs that took a gamble on him is because levy is desperate after conte failing.

hes a 'good' manager in scotland and the other shit leagues hes been. here hes shit! its basically a new sport to him here.
 
Except it isn't true. Loads of clubs get carried away. Everyone is creaming themselves over Slot and has he even bought anyone?

Well done on not including your usual applause gif though. You're growing.
Difference being whoever the Liverpool manager is seems to have a working relationship with Fenway Sports Group, whereas the problems between Levy and anyone unlucky enough to manage us are well (not fully) documented.

Well said, but sadly It's just the modern fan for you and isn't just us. The internet was full of "Slot ball" before the cunt even polished his head for their first fixture.
The same people that brought us heat maps, XG, take ons and all the other bullsheeeet

Think his biggest problem is consistency, when we play well the football can be amazing at times.
But like we have seen today and against Brighton, when it goes wrong or doesn't work, it's as bad as I have personally ever seen.
I don't know if, he is going to be able to get it right, these defeats and bad performances cannot continue for long, I don't think he will be here at the end of the season.

We're tacking all over the place in the PL which is why we're currently mid table. Not a disaster but hardly a success so far either.

Europa's going well so far. Still got to face those noisy gits at Galatasaray so that's going to be interesting.

Nothing if not an interesting season, but Ange has got a distance to go to prove his style works at this elite level. 'Inconsistent' remains a fair assessment.
Think his biggest problem is consistency
Absolutely.

Finishing 5th with early cup exits with Spurs is not a fucking flex. That’s like a default finishing position.

The longer he’s actually had with us the worse the team has got. We have progressively fallen off in terms of results.

Unbeaten in Europe? Come on mate. We’ve played the guys who work for the farmers. Top half in the PL? Are we just memeing now? I’d expect Mason to achieve that.

He’s an alright manager but that’s it. He doesn’t level us up at all or give us any kind of edge, we are essentially exactly what you’d expect.

what does he need to do to 'get it right'? his answer to problems is to chuck as many attackers on as he can. its clear as day now that he needs to be fucked off ASAP for the good of the club. the longer we keep hold of him the harder it is for us to clean up the shit after. any rational football person would adapt to what they have, this clown still plays a high line without VDV, never seen a manager commit so many football suicides in my life.

its got to the point now where us losing the next 2 is a good thing if it gets him fucked off, thats something to actually be excited about. maybe we have something to look forward too and can maybe do something this season, because we aint doing fuck all with this idiot. we wont win any cups and we wont finish in european places either, so it kills not only this season but fucks us next season too. get him back to mickey mouse football where he belongs ASAP.

Our team is better than what he is currently getting out of them.
