Do you really believe we lost because of injuries. If those very same players were utilised better, we'dve won that one. Taking Bergvall off? Playing Sarr instead of Maddison? Bringing Bissouma on? Keeping such a high line despite the injuries? Insisting on playing out of from the Back?

I'm sorry.......ANGE, LEVY and ENIC OUT!!!

It’s almost impressive how some can conveniently ignore the fact that our performances were faltering well before injuries took their toll. It’s like watching someone repeatedly trip over their own feet and insisting it’s only the floor’s fault.

Maybe it’s just easier to ignore the deeper issues in favour of a scapegoat like the “simple folk” hey?

Is that supposed to mean something profound?

If you can't see how having our first choice defence decimated makes winning games an issue, then nothing I can say will help you understand
 
In better news, our Central defensive triangle of Austin (debutant), Spence (RB) and Gray (CM) kept a 2nd half clean sheet!!!

How's THAT not been rewarded up the other end??

Did you even watch the game?

Yes, I've also watched the whole season under Ange. Actually since October 2023, have you?

Because how can you have watched us since then and think Ange should stay? We are a fucking joke. Ange has turned us into a fanbase, where people are happy we didn't get thrashed at home to Newcastle, as if it's a positive.

People are vastly over stating the players we have out missing, as if we are playing under 15s out there.

We had loads of senior players out there today, as we have had every game this season, and we still look so so open.

Yes there was effort there today, and that is it. What else am I missing?

Thought we were alright. But the reality is we are a cup team for the rest of the season. Need to get bodies back and new faces in and go full on assault on the Europa and other cups.

That’s exactly what we are. The league cup is gone because of injuries but the other two are there for us because on our day we can beat anyone. We’d need to be lucky as fuck to navigate our way to winning a cup by playing well in every cup game but it’s possible. My fear is we get dragged down into the group just above relegation. Woolwich and Everton away are not what we need in our next two league games.

The leagues bottom team and a team in worse form than us. That’s your counter to the otherwise abject misery we are subjected to.

And you reckon you aren’t fucked in the head?

Lol it’s the football equivalent of banging a load of hookers then telling your mates how many women you’ve slept with.

Look at the form table for fuck sake. Then go and look at how many games we’ve actually
Lost with his first choice defenders and keeper. It’s more than you think.

Nobody’s beaten Southhampton 5-0 since us. Not Liverpool, not Fulham. What about the City, Villa and West Ham games, were they dog shit? No.

Because we lost .. another game. At home. And are 11th and likely to be 12th by the end of the day. And a few points off 14th with some tough fixtures round the corner.

How is this hard to understand, how fucking shit we are doing in terms of a bigger picture? Did we play OK at times today? Sure. Does it mean much when we are losing every single fucking game? Not really no.

Absolutely baffling that people seem to want positivity after another home loss. We’re on an absolutely abysmal run.

Incredible how some can defend this position we are in. We have all gave the manager time but it’s done.
 
10 defeats in 20

That's the answer to anyone still looking for positives and defending this charlatan

Nothing else needs to be said

No way jose, he would have flourished with Ange ball.
Just imagine, he was PL top scorer under defensive plays of Mourinho and Conte. Solanke is missing half chances which Harry would have scored, we would have won today with HK or someone of his qualities. Solanke is average overpriced PL striker.

If you remember correctly, Harry Kane had won the Golden Boot during José years. People need to understand that we had worse defenders than we have now, so we had to play more conservatively.

What do you think the score would have been today if we had Dier, Aurier, Sanchez, Reggie, Doherty, Davies, Tanganga and only Alderweireld that's good?

Do you think Harry would have gotten a golden Boot if Ange was the manager in 2020-21?

It's easy to say Conté and Jose Anti-football......blah, blah, blah. Truth is that they they managed well with what they had.

Having a Zizzi's so missed most of it, but it looked like we were having a go in the last 15 mins. I was expecting to come back to a bit of a bloodbath tbh.

Tbf, we were having a go for most of the 2nd half... I say 'half' ...it probably was only about 20 minutes of actual play...

The other 25 mins were spent calling Ambulances for all their war wounded little soldiers!!

Shocking blatant time wasting, that only gets punished if WE do it!

Real shame
