Nah, I'm just calling you out for what you are, a poster puts a perfectly reasonable post and you just reply 'embarrassing'. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

You contribute literally nothing to this football club, you admitted you don't go to any games under ENIC's ownership and they've been in charge of how many years? You're one of the biggest critics of the way the club is run, lack of money spent etc even though the money that goes into the club goes into team etc.

I'm happy supporting the club the way I do.

You'll never be happy, if we sacked Ange tomorrow I guarantee you would be on here moaning about the next manager.

Ask him what he likes about this club
 
I don't think Ange can be let off for the amount of injured players when it's his system that is largely responsible for that.

They were talking about it on whatever channel I was watching yesterday & quoting the Scottish paper that pointed it out while he was at Celtic . It can’t be coincidence, that said I do think VdV is made of glass , Romero too unless it’s an international game , obviously
 
We have a coach who spent last season on a “we’ll just cop it!” posture

It made many of us on this board furious. As we knew what was coming

Ange hasn’t a clue. Really

Yeah it was not a great way I think, I do wish he'd have a real rant sometimes.
Yet I don't think we would get any better outcomes if we behaved like classless cunts like Klopp and Tony Arteta.
Something also tells me we would get examples made of us if we dared to speak out like they do.
 
Different when C/Bs are edge of box or thereabouts and oppo are within a metre or two ready to press .
When your Midfield receiving ball are either side on or back to player then oppo always got chance of nicking it if got any nous.
Thats when you need one of or both full backs when tight in middle to offer the option
IE.you go wide and if oppo shuttle over,you then have opened up options of forward pass,back to C/B or keeper or even a dink over the top amongst others.

No C/B whoever it is wants to thread balls through a needle or play around with it on edge of their own box .
Its about keeping a clean sheet ist and foremost,winning every battle and giving it to players in team asap who make things happen,
Also the old “One Two” which i personally love but dont think is fashionable anymore.


somehow….
Fullbacks are there to open the park up when going on attack at right time not to be defacto midfielders…
I do understand the thinking behind it, which is to not hoof the ball upfield so the opposition can immediately launch the next attack
But if the team play it out under control it becomes the next wave of attacks for us. Sarr and Bergvall coughing it up on the edge of the box, leaving the defence flat footed doesn't do us any favours

Blaming Ange for everything is the "go to" barrel scraping of the mindless.

Particularly when people start making shit up about him injuring his own players, when the real problem is working the same ones to death with an inferior squad that unable to give him viable alternatives

Hanging Ange out to dry isn't the answer, Levy and his puppet master are the problem.
 
Hindsight is what you use to learn from your mistakes.

We don’t learn from our mistakes.

That’s the problem.
The best lesson to learn from mistakes on the pitch is to stop playing the people that repetitively make them.
But Levy won't arm the managers with sufficient good quality players.

That's the problem

You, and people like you, are trying to sack the wrong person.
 
Liverpool at home was a good example of this too. We pulled one back against the run of play when one of their players made a mistake; a nice finish by Maddison, and it's 1-2 just before HT. So slow the game down, take the sting out of it, keep the ball for a minute or so before the whistle. Instead we tried something reckless and all of a sudden there's a break and we're 3-1 down just before HT, it's lunacy.

At this level against quality opponents it's vital you manage these moments more effectively than we've been doing.

It’s basic football. Just like the keeper not passing the ball to a centre back when he’s facing his own goal and can’t see any of the pitch behind him.
 
A huge stretch?! Pal, we've lost 10 games already. Still 18 games to be played, we'll drop another 5 at the minimum, probably 7 or 8. You lose that many, you're definitely a relegation candidate...Everton (15th) lost 16 last season, Brentford (16th) lost 19, and Forest (17th) had 20 defeats.

That's Ange's true level to be honest. Most of that squad belongs down there too.

You misunderstood my post, I meant I’m making a huge stretch in hoping it’s because we are being sold!
 
It's the actual rule, shit rule but been for a couple of seasons now.
Sure but they could have just as easily decided Joelinton arm was behind his body and he moved his hand to the ball. Because he did.

They’d have been perfectly justified to notice that the goal was against the logic of the Sport and used their interpretation of the law to rule it out.

But this week they decided not to. We all know that would have been different if it happened to Liverpool or whichever team they decide is getting more “respect” this season.
