10?

I’ll have that bet. Solanke is scoring more than 10 goals as long as he’s not injured for more than a month.

Loser leaves the forum (plenty on here would love you to win this one)
I will make you an even bigger bet right now, if Ange continues to be as naive as he has been the second half of last season and last night, he will be sacked before the end of this season.

I would bet my house on that.
 
So you were telling me we only gave up 2 chances (because the two on target in your mind was all that counted) but Leicester gave up 7 despite only conceding 4 on target in the entire game? How does that work?

By your logic we should have also been punished considering the following stats for the second half...

Leicester : 6 shots, 2 on target, 0.96 XG
Tottenham : 5 shots, 2 on target, 0.61 XG

The truth is, they SHOULD have been punished first half and we WERE punished second half for not being clinical enough and for sloppy ill disciplined defending which has been a common theme under this manager.

I’m talking about the good chances created that I saw with my own eyes.

You quoted Leicesters second half xG but all of that xG was generated in those 2 Vardy chances. It proves my point that the other shots weren’t chances mate.


Don’t do stats when you don’t understand them.

Leicester didn't have good chances second half? I beg you go back and watch the game, your eyes are lying to you.
 
The more you see of Fat Carl's tactics, the more you should be extremely worried

Especially if he is only bringing in players to suit those tactics
 
Those were the 2 good chances I remember. What were the others?
Side netting when our defenders were getting pulled out of position everywhere and a better shot would have at least been on target there.

The last ditch tackle from Sarr after we got cut open like a knife through butter (although it was offside anyway)

The save from Vic from the header after we got rinsed down the wing because we left a youth player in no mans land one on one completely out of position.

I mean, that's just three I can think of.
 
And fluffed them all but one. I thought Solanke's contribution was meh. Son was naff, Johnson awful.
Something that really struck me last night..Johnson was never looking for the ball or trying to get involved. And the rest of the team were never looking to give him the ball or trying to get him involved.
It was like playing with 10 men.

Side netting with a defender in front and no angle to shoot. If that’s a chance we had about 10 of them first half.

Sarr tackle was offside and flag went up after.

Save from Vic from a header I don’t remember but based on the first two you gave, chances are you are reaching hard for that one too.

Maddison did find him with longer passes a couple of times but he fucked them up. Either went backwards or lost possession.
 
Decent shout tbf.
We could really do with a poll....I'm getting Marco Silva vibes myself.
realistically if we dont beat everton he should be gone, as we arent getting more than a point from newcastle and the scum if we cant beat them.

i got a feeling that last year has been forgotten about, which means if hes getting sacked it will be a whole year wasted as it will be too late into the season to salvage it.

this squad would be tasty in the hands of someone competent.

You are so biased this is pointless mate. I get it, you love Ange, that's fine but you devalue your argument when you can't see logic.

Let's just agree to disagree and leave it there.
