He was poor earlier in the season and then got injured for 3 months. But all his performances in the KO stages of the Eurpa League were elite. He was way too good for that competition. He is genuine world class and it'll be sad to lose him. He starts for any team in the world.

No they weren't.

He was good.

That's all.

I won't be joining you in your re-write of history.

But carry on, if you wish.
 
Nabbed this from Savva's stream.

You weigh it all up and consider the road ahead, this guy absolutely must go asap.

if it's never to be forgotten why the need to remind us just 5 days later?

i think he's gone but they'll wait a week to announce it to let all the emotion drop down post bilbao. unfortunately ange will likely keep commenting and we'll get more of these itk's to get people up in arms on both sides but in week or so i'd bet he's gone. of course levy is always capable of completely fucking it up so we'll see.

Don't let your arse friends hear this, but winning the Europa by absolutely downing tools in the PL isn't hard.

Don't ask me why it hasn't happened more often like you don't know.
Nobody has ever, to such an extent, thrown away game after game after game in order to win it.
Actually, that's wrong West Ham did in the conference league. That is closer to the Europa than than Europa is to the Champions League.

So let's not act as if he's some sort of messiah. 3rd, 4th, 5th best teams from 1 or 2 team leagues are nowhere near top half Premier League sides.

Newcastle won a trophy AND finished 5th.
Palace won a trophy and finished on the most points in their history.

We won a trophy and had our worst season in our 143 year history domestically.
 
Am I misremembering this or did Cuti, earlier in the season, say that he fully backed Ange, only to subsequently, openly entertain the idea of going to RM?

Maybe I've got that wrong, but it feels familiar.

i'm not so sure they do. i think the players are like fans and are caught up in the emotion of a dramatic big win and wouldn't speak out against ange or do anything but celebrate in the immediate aftermath but they know he's out of his depth. i still don't see any strong statements in his support anywhere and i think as the afterglow fades the consensus will be he has to go
 
Don't like the way journalists are still reporting that his future is up in the air. Tells me that Levy still hasn't got a clue. This needs a resolution this week, no time for the usual ENIC dithering.

I don’t think it’s as easy as you say and is so incredibly risky. The whole campaign can blow up with a single odd goal getting through. Based on where our season was when we apparently decided to risk it all for the cup, we were in a very different situation than many other clubs in that our season was already likely over.

I don’t think we strategically sacrificed the league to the degree Ange has maybe suggested. I think it’s a cop out now that we won. We didn’t bench swaths of starters in league games to rest for the cup. More often than not we played our strongest team, and the only exceptions was integrating returning players a little slower. Ange is deflecting and trying to take the blame for the poor season off him and the players.
