Manager Ange Postecoglou

Ramos won a Cup.
Nobody is really questioning the fight. It’s whether the manager is good enough. I’m sure they love him.
But regardless of personnel it’s not good enough. Hasn’t been good enough the whole time.
Can't wait until the Ange nightmare is over and we hire a professional for the role.
I wouldn’t go as far as calling those defending him a disgrace—that’s a bit heavy-handed, to be honest.
However, I do believe many are indulging in a bit too much optimism regarding his ability to turn things around.
That said, I’m in full agreement with the rest of your post.
the biggest problem this teams has imo is in attacking and defensive wide areas
Full backs need to get out to their man and close down the ball aggressively but it just doesn’t happen. We give opposition wide players so much time, space and options. Look at the difference the other end. How many times Kulusveski, Johnson, Son, Werner hit the shins of the defender when trying to cross or dribble or they are forced to recycle the ball.
A lot of the attacking stuff is to do with a lack of quality, not being able to manipulate the ball to work their own space but defensively it’s nowhere near aggressive enough.

That's a fair opinion and the results back up your opinion. The jury is 100% out on Ange and even I need convincing. I just don't see the point in sacking him mid season. Let's see how this all plays out and then go for Iraolo/Frank in the summer of we do just finish midtable and win nothing. I don't think bringing in a new manager now and dividing the camp is going to swing this season
The man said we should use the league to "rotate players" and its tottally irrelevant and he apparently has a "clear head".
Our form is that of a team that will be relegated. You know what "rotating players in the league" and not going full strength will get us? trips to West Brom and fucking Derby County.
All hail great poster with the world's most defeatist attitude.
I'm starting to understand now
Wasn't someone earlier saying "BUT WHO ELSE BEAT SOUTHAMPTON 5-0 AWAY????" as a defence of Ange?
Well Brentford just have.
4-0 at broken City and 5-0 at the worst side in Prem history keeping the fat tub of lard in a job.

Well something has got to give as you can’t be charging £100+ to watch us , we are literally charging premium prices to watch a team with a 3rd choice GK and finish the game with no recognised defenders!
It’s a hard one as we can’t keep changing the manager and hoping we get lucky again like we did with Poch , I understand rebuilds are painful but I don’t see any progress on the pitch, I like Ange he is a likeable guy but the team doesn’t look coached , it’s just “go and play football”
We’ve gone from "we’ll win the league" in his first season, to "it takes 6 months to rock-n-roll", to "just wait until everyone is back from injuries", to "second season is gonna be explosive just watch", to "league is tight, we’re only 2 points off 2nd place", to "we’re only 3 points off top 4", to "we’re only 5 points off top 6", to "look at the players they’re fighting for him" and ultimately "Ramos had a similar PPG to Postecoglou and he’s won a cup so it must mean something". 
So Southampton sacked their coach and still got humped 5-0. Great success that decision then.
This is delusional.
They are lunaticsWe’ve gone from "we’ll win the league" in his first season, to "it takes 6 months to rock-n-roll", to "just wait until everyone is back from injuries", to "second season is gonna be explosive", to "league is tight, we’re only 2 points off 2nd place", to "we’re only 3 points off top 4", to "we’re only 5 points off top 6", to "look at the players they’re fighting for him" and ultimately "Ramos had a similar PPG to Postecoglou and he’s won a cup so it must mean something".
Wish the team could defend like these losers defending this shite
Maybe five or six points........but the football would be boring as shit.
If Ange is still here in 3 weeks it proves that Levy does not care about results.
As completely nutty as ever.
