What you can say is Ange probably has more depth than any of his predecessors. Add in the players out on loan and he does have a bigger pool of players to pick from.

Spot on! I remember that as well. There always a few making excuses like scheduling. It’s all the bloody same and some times we get a bigger break than the oppo and we’d still lose. I recall on game week where we had to wait 10 days betw matches. Think it might have been v goons who had two leg CL ganes in betw a d they still whopped us.
It is?
...that loses...
...but have now realized that he can't because if he could then he would have by now instead blaming all and sundry as deflection...
...and actually doing it competently and winning all the while.
We were shit before the injuries, BC...say it with me, we were shit before the injuries...it's not the injuries. And if he genuinely did think it was the injuries then what accommodations has he implemented?
Maybe doesn’t but at least we will look like a properly coached professional football team.
It’s beyond cringe.
Although Tbf is it Porro or Ange’s tactics?
Strange how his only started coming out with all the injuries BS since we have been knocked out of both cups. Was it only the other day he was saying we are in 4 competitions not sure what the 4th was abd he’d rather be involved than watching on TV. Also one of those was just getting to 4 th round after just about beating Tamworth. Yet he made out it was some amazing thing that we were still in all the cups and it was a big achievement. Further it’s not been 2.5 months since we lost most of our players. Solanke, Werner, Johnson who all stank the place out v Tamworth only got injured mid Jan.
Quite.
Yet people think we will get everyone back and it’ll be like that again. We’ve got them back twice already and it hasn’t happened.
February last year and the start of the season. Practically fully fit squads. And in that time 50% losses lol
I think Postecoglou should go but the constant ins and outs makes it difficult for the team to have any fluency. Players that play together regularly develop an understanding that can't be coached on the training pitch. So its not just about having the starting eleven available, they need to play together in matches and they need to do it week-in, week-out. The entire Postecoglou period has been unsettled.
We're pissing away next season essentially. Next coach will have too little time to assess the squad and get them up to speed with (hopefully) new tactical ideas. These things take time and ideally you'd do it now when the season is gone to shit anyway. At very least see if anything at all can be done with this fucking midfield that after two years no one knows who's job is what, who is playing and for what reason. Ange made such a mess of it, he hates it himself hence chopping and changing and pulling them out at half time so often.
All he needed to do to was tell Porro not to go marauding up field straight from KO!
Tell the whole side to keep it tight for the first 5 minutes and quieten the crowd!
Anything but that shitshow
But no one has criticised the players. What has been is the tactics, Ange’s decision making, choice of players, etc.
In that press conference the media’s line of questioning was trying to solicit a negative comment from Ange about the players performances hence him defending them and saying be critical of him, not the players.
Our first choice back five have started 16 games
W 12 - D 1 - L 3 -GD +19
Just under 25% of AP games in charge
One more look at the beautiful horizon before the great white shark drags us under to end it all ….
Trust me ; I think Daniel’s doing this to us for fun .
If this makes any sense.
In other words: completely agree with you .
He kept banging on about a 21 yr old GK. well he signed off on him. We had Austin who he could have played but won’t. I think Fraser is fit now as well. He chooses to Toni ahead of the other then complains his playing a 21 yr old. Ffs couldn’t make it up.
I really don’t get why he couldn’t have thrown Ajayi on for a few mins v both dippers and villa. Other teams will put on some youngsters. What is there to lose? I really don’t get it. He complains about not being able to rotate and sane players have played for 2 months. Well on Sunday he could have played gray CM, reg LB, Davies CB and Spence RB. But he choose not to that is on him.
