Agreed.Theres a moment with every manager when you get a result there really isnt any coming back from. They might limp on for a bit but like AVB after he lost by 6 at City, Poch with that Bayern result, Ardiles when we lost 3-0 to Notts County, Mourinho when we went out to Zagreb... you know whats going to happen. Personally think enoughs enough now, look at the fixtures after the break until Christmas, we could easily be 13th/14th. This side is learning nothing and going nowhere.
They've lost 2, we've lost 5 and they're fucking Nottingham Forest with Nuno.Everyone is saying how fantastic Notts Forest are doing this season.
They are currently 3rd in the EPL with 3 points more than THFC.

Best game I've saw from Son this season was when he played as false 9 against Everton. Should stay in that position, fits him really well at this point of his career.True.
Johnson is mediocre PL player, he scores sometimes, but does he ever can past a defender.
Son is probably done as winger.
Werner is our first sub, embarrassing.
Yea, but Ange has better ideas clearly. Stick Son to the left every game. BJ on the right. Mate, he always win something in his second season so how can you question him?Best game I've saw from Son this season was when he played as false 9 against Everton.

Regardless of what we the fans think, I don't think Levy will put up with too much more of this. A cup trophy won't be enough to save his job. That result and performance today was simply inexcusable.
Normally you build a house from the ground up laying strong foundations.I said after the Palace game and I'll say it again - I just don't see him succeeding.
Nothing points to an upward trajectory of success.
It's always the odd good result (e.g. Villa 4-1) followed a terrible one. No consistency at all.
He's been here long enough and it's the same issues time and time again:
We've handed a winless Palace and Ipswich their first victories of the season.
Terrible fist half performances.
Inability to cross a ball properly (must have gone to their keeper every time today).
Comical defending including being unable to control a football or deal with a bouncing ball.
Inability to keep clean sheets and ship goals at an alarming rate.
Relying on individual moments up front rather than creative attacking play.
Soft as sh*t away from home and versus teams who are physical.
Unable to deal with set pieces
Unable to do the basics and braindead decision making
Conceding the same goal from a cross from the left hand side constantly
Anything else i've missed?
All this is on the manager for me.
No way anyone can convince me the team we had out there today isnt capable of beating Ipswich with a better manager.
I always want every manager to succeed but I just don't see it with Ange - no team can achieve success that is so poor defensively and easy to beat.
this mid-table form has run an entire year now. enough is enough. a big club would never allow such shite to run for a year, especially when anyone with half a brain would have had serious doubts a month into it after seeing what he done in that chelsea game. the guys the biggest clown in football.
You have to make a judgement call what gives us ths best chance of a trophy and its difficult to think its more of the same of the vast majority of matches in 2024.Regardless of what we the fans think, I don't think Levy will put up with too much more of this. A cup trophy won't be enough to save his job. That result and performance today was simply inexcusable.
Tomorrow what about NOWI'm starting to really dislike this guy. That we can beat City and other good teams is in spite of having Ange as a manager, not because of him.
Random individual errors is something no manager can control but if it come from the same source game after game, the manager must have the intelligence to spot it. Ange does not! He's thick as fuck. 2nd season trophy? STFU. You haven't done anything but underperforming since the Chelsea game last season. That was because of what Conte had left. The more influence this guy has, the worse we become.
That BJ was his dream signing says a lot about this guy. 50 m LMAO. And he plays him nearly every minute of every game.
Sack him tomorrow!
