After today, as an outer, i'm not even angry at him like i was after previous matches. He adapted, he tweaked things. Udogie played a lot as almost 3CB in possession, we werent that much exposed. This match was different than it was vs Forest, Bmouth, CP, Ipswich and so on.
Both 2 wolves goals - not clear chances, very good shots (2nd one was mostly about that beautifull pass from Ait Nouri). Forster almost had nothing to do except for goals. We also didnt screw that much with playing from the back, we went long when needed
Think we could win if Johnson would be still at RW for those couple counters. Guys are definitely lost though in final 3rd, no patterns, we rely only on Deki/Solanke individually. Our attack is mess generally.
Kudos to Ange for trying something new. At least he is not that mad as i thought.

Conte had prime Kane & Son.
I'd be stunned if that were the case. What will happen is, is that we'll get in a couple of loans to cover the 'freak' injury crisis because Levy and co. will argue that once all the players are back, we'll have a bloated squad.
Club is a shambles and quite frankly I've become fairly numb to it the last few seasons.
Why is it funny?
He should have learned this last year. It’s too little too late. Fair play and what have you but what, it is supposed to be “in your face” after 18 months or dog shit?
And even so - we don’t even know if it’s him doing it or the players just doing it. We will find out shortly.
Whatever happens over the next couple of days.. If I see one more article after a disastrous result where the club have briefed that they're not thinking of doing anything "knee-jerk". I'll feel ill.
If you want to sit on your hands and accept that the results and standards of the actual team is secondary to whatever other sponsorhip or real estate chicanery you have going on. Then whatever. But at least stop announcing it every 5 fucking minutes.

Yes now think what he could have done if that cheap bastard backed his man.
Yeah, but our problem isn’t the players not running around enough. Our persistent running has burned up the team, and we just don’t have the team for a more pragmatic approach right now either.
I’m not sure what a new coach offers except to just stop the feedback loop of negativity.
There's a universe where the Mourinho-Tottenham hold on against Liverpool, too; or the Akanji foul on Vic is given or Son doesn't give away a penalty when he's asked to play LB...we can't just blame the injuries - AP's tactics have not helped one bit. Richie fair enough, but the others...no, they've not been helped by having to complete so many sprints (and long sprints if your LB /RB/LW/RW) or VdV having to cover the defensively invisible MF and a wandering-Romero.
Tbf, I was just semi-quoting Redknapp. I should have said: 'play with a bit more structure and composure - possibly also some in-game management'.
Negligence is reason enough for me to want him out.
We need to feed them some sticky toffee Car, that shit is giving me energy right now. That’s my professional managerial opinion fyi.
Not for long. No matter what coach comes in, it will somehow turn sour one way or another. No matter what style of football they play, the team selection will not include a fan favourite and the tactics will be too stubborn with no plan b.
18 months MAX, things will turn negative
I agree with you it’s just ironic Udogie also goes off injured today ! I’ve never known a injury crisis like this , absolute madness
It’s done the opposite for me, I feel heavy and bloated now
yeh - I've explained the poorly executed Redknapp reference elsewhere.Mate we run around too much.
It’s why all the quads and hamstrings have torn.
(Ooh, we still have the old smilies - been away a while).Yeah, I especially agree with the need for more composure. The system, even when it’s working well, is inherently a little chaotic, so it requires consistent mental composure from the players.
Exactly
I don't think the majority of fans appreciate how average this squad is. That's not an excuse for Ange, but moving forward once Ange has gone and the new guy is in people will see that not much will really change. We might be a bit higher in the table but forget about being anywhere near the top 4.
