And Spence who has been our best player since Jan yet he has been dumped for the EL games now.

Spence has started to fade over the last few matches, horrible mistakes against Bournemouth and Fulham shouldn't mean he would walk directly back in the team and besides our original back 5 when they are all fit actually play well for the most part...you can't tell me Porro and Udogie deserved to be dropped over the past few weeks.

What's this back 5 you're talking about? The last time I checked Ange uses a back 4.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Conte's 3-4-3 with our current group of players. We've definitely got the wing-backs now and our CB options are a lot better too.

United won it, they got worse.
Chelsea have won it and it did nothing for them, they aren't the perennial title winners they once were.
For me, the foundation of a great club is the league. Solidify that and cups should follow and breed more success.

Chasing the top4 has not worked out for us over the past 15 years with only qualification for CL to show for it. We need to change course. We had many years in top 6 but it never led to trophy success because we kept rotating our best players in Cup games and going out to inferior teams.
If we were say in the Top 6 today, we would be playing our strongest team at Anfield and as a semi again on Thursday but they would not be fresh and we would not get the outcome we need.
We have not got the balance right this year but we also did not get the balance right in previous years when we won nothing.

In the Poch era we were a few points off 2 titles and 90 minuted away from a league cup and a champions league win.
It convinced all our best players other than Walker to hang around.
It helped bring in players we probably wouldn’t have signed but for that period of upper league finishes.
Don't tell me it didn't do much. Cause look at the fucking state of us now.

Again and again the same.
Do not compare seasons with Son and Kane with the ones with Werner and Solanke.
Sunday for example. What would the score be if (everything else being the same) Kane was our CF?

We'd still have conceded shitty goals due to shitty tactics.
Forest would still have dropped deep.
If Kane did what the idiot coach told him to do, he'd have been stood around waiting for a cut back all match.

Ange is shit.
We are shit because Ange is shit.
If you came here because of Ange, then hopefully you leave because of Ange too.
 
Nice little freebie for Levy

Leeds ponder shock Farke dismissal​

Leeds United are weighing up the possibility of dismissing manager Daniel Farke, despite the German having just guided the club back to the Premier League, according to reports in the Daily Mail.

As well as taking Leeds up from the Championship, Farke has also twice led Norwich City back into the Premier League.

However, the Canaries finished bottom of the table with just 21 points on the first of those occasions, before being sacked in the early November of his second campaign.


3 promotions from the championship makes him more qualified for the job than a walk in the (Celtic) Park and some non league football in Australasia

It is but that should be the target and not just a high league position. I know we won the league in 1961 & came 5th last season because it is the latest but could not tell you how many times we have been 2nd, 3rd or 4th etc because it was not memorable. I can tell you each & every one of our cup wins since 1961 & was present at all of them from 1971-1991 inclusive. Those victories far out weighed any league result during that time or since.

To be absolutely honest, I would crave watching a Spurs game playing under Conte compared to the shitshow being served up by this Aussie twat.

I don't think he'd be a good fit, however I did watch his post match interview after Leeds demolished Stoke.

He is a very articulate manager, and talked about his team and certain players that he had brought in and improved, such as Bogle who i think has had a great season for them, and Solomon who has been superb.

Top scorers in the Championship, playing some outstanding football, but if Levy was to look to the Championship then he should look to Parker.

To manage a team and only concede a paltry fifteen goals so far is quite incredible in any league.

For sure the PL is different gravy, but could Parker possibly lose eighteen games for us if he was a Levy pick?

But that's home all over

He's only 19 so you can give him that, but even so.....he's not really given us any incentive to make his move permanent.


But they've all been shite so how can we possibly tell how much potential he may or may not have in this calamity if a shit show season.

May be but why not give some of these minutes to say Moore , Dane or adeje. We have nothing to lose and how will we know if they have the potential. Last season Ange didn’t give any of our academy players a chance. This season they have only played when we have been missing players. Yet Tel can come in an unknown for who we paid good money for loan and get plenty of game time. He’s only just over a year older than Moore.
