Told you what was gonna happen.
Don't do it, people.
Let's just let City handle those cunts and get through the rest of the season and let Ange keep building the squad to his very specific taste.
Start of the season the consensus was that 5th and an improvement in playing style would be a good first season. That is exactly what we’ve done.

the specific taste of someone who doesnt know what hes doing? hes made it obvious now hes not cut out for top level football. we aint playing scottish pub sides every week.let Ange keep building the squad to his very specific taste.
Tuchel will want a bigger club.Ange OUT!
Not a knee jerk. I just dont think his attitude or style of play will make us successful.
Get Tuchel in.
Tuchel will want a bigger club.
We need to go for Poch in summer. He would work miracles with this squad.
5th is far from guaranteed at this point, and I think you cannot ignore how badly we've regressed in the business end of the season, even when all our players are back (there's really not much of a playing style now - can't attack, can't defend).
Myself, I don't really care if it's Ange in or Ange out anymore. All gotten a bit numb now and que sera sera for next season.
People can do all the "feeling" they want, I suppose.
I've got nothing against people wanting to do the fuck-reality-we're-gonna-do-this! thing for this game.
But I think it's actually unfair, because it's confected expectation; not balanced, in the circumstances (recent form, squad deficiencies, no udogie etc.).
And, as I expect, when we keep handing a technically sound, free-scoring team the ball in midfield and letting them run through our high, thin defences all day whilst fiddling about with the ball and refusing to shoot unless it's a tap-in from 2 yards, at the other end, not to mention dodgy zonal marking at corners, the result will be the obvious one.
The one the odds suggest.
Those that have pumped themselves up are gonna be raging at this and that.
Brushing aside that it was never really on the cards... really.
Again, the only thing I'll be fucked off about is if they don't play like their hair is on fire.
Proper nasty, spiteful, relentless pressing, relentless tempo (+ crowd needs to go mental all game).
I just think this game is horrible timing, when we've got so many things to sort out and form is off.
Just one of those things.
*If we do somehow manage to draw/win, I shall post pics of my very large cock in celebration (balls included).
I definitely feel less invested in the team over the past few years.5th is far from guaranteed at this point, and I think you cannot ignore how badly we've regressed in the business end of the season, even when all our players are back (there's really not much of a playing style now - can't attack, can't defend).

I'm seeing no signs of progressI'm done sitting on the fence now.
We're now exactly where I expected us to be. Completely outclassed by coaches who have big game experience.
Get rid.
i think the chelsea game was damaging for him in losing the players confidence. probably a reason why everything looks so weak. they know when it comes to it the manager will give them suicide tactics and embarrass them.(there's really not much of a playing style now - can't attack, can't defend).
We’re 5th because of the fast start/new manager bounce of 26 points from 30 in first 10 games.a lot of people thought he’d be gone the same way as Nuno after 10 games. He probably has enough credit in the bank to be at the helm next season.Start of the season the consensus was that 5th and an improvement in playing style would be a good first season. That is exactly what we’ve done.

Fine.
But what I can see happening is people going too far with the gas and if/when we collapse - against a very good, well-oiled, properly functioning team (around the top of the table for a reason), let's just be real - they'll be all AnGe OuT, and it will be nonsense and tiresome.
That's what's gonna happen, mate.
We're a team on our way somewhere, on a bumpy road.
And our vehicle is a bit janky and the wheels a bit wobbly and unstable.
Need better parts and have to give our chief mechanic time to work on it and get it purring.
All I'm saying is don't go over the top on this game.
Pass pass pass pass turnover.
We're no better than under Conte or Jose and unlike them we don't even bother trying to defend.
