Don’t think he survives this. Not particularly today’s result, but the lack of direction of travel over the year. The players are letting us down, but is that because the style of play isn’t sustainable or suitable for them?

I like what Ange is trying to do, playing attacking front foot football, but doesn’t look like he can do it with the players we have. We need to either replace half a dozen first teamers, change the style of play, or replace the manager. The latter seems to be the easiest route to take.

Whilst normally in the past I would agree, it’s not like that now, there is so much apathy. Levy has beaten us to an inch or our lives as fans, there’s no fight left in us. You’ve got to give it context. I’m done now while they own the club, I can’t be bothered with it any more. There’s me and 3 mates who used to go as season ticket holders. One of them jacked it in 3 years ago because of it, one the start of this season and now I will at the end of this term. It’s just pointless, they aren’t going to sell up, they’re making too much money. The club is fucking done.

I wish I had some words to give you ( and others) a bit of hope, but there is nothing I can add to counter your views and nothing coming along to change the reality. Levy has killed THFC. Thats it. Done.

Managers usually try to minimise the variance factor in football matches. They want their teams to stay compact out of possession, not to take undue risks with ball and player movement in possession and so on. You just don’t want a tennis-esque match ,where both teams create an abundance of chances and the outcome is decided by who’s more clinical or more fortunate. Because it then essentially becomes a coin flip. You can never get consistently good results with a coin flip. These are not rocket science, I’m just stating the obvious here.

It seems like Ange actively seeks this. Huge gaps in midfield after initial press is beaten by the opponent. Players taking big risks with the ball anywhere on the pitch. Players mindlessly pushing forward without worrying about team shape or whatever. It’s just pure chaos. Not a trace of game management or control. It beggars belief honestly. How can any manager watch this week in and week out and think he’s on the right path?

Our ‘inconsistency’ is not by accident but by design. It’s the natural end product of Angeball (whatever this is). If you think this is entertaining (I don’t) then good for you. But don’t expect it to change.

Perfect understanding of the folly of his approach..

I hope those who still don't get it (are there any??) read this a few times and let it sink in.

I'm Ange in because changing the manager only means at some point in the future we will be in this position again where another guy is failing and the fans are once again demanding a change.

Whilst Levy is doing all the hiring and firing we are just going round in circles and it's pretty boring now tbh.

The man at the top has to change, it's that simple, until that happens I couldn't care less if Ange remains or not. This club will not win anything, will not challenge, will always lose games like this and others like this.
 
I fear for Ange after this game . Levy looked like he was making the mental calculation of how much he would have to pay him out .
Now whether you agree he should go or not , I have no faith that the next stooge through the door lasts any longer .
It's a very sad situation that we as supporters find ourselves in .
 
I’m kind of done now.

The players clearly dont have the required quality but our work on the transition is laughable.

There are clear tactical issues.

I never wanted to be #AngeOut as I don’t think any manager has a chance under Mr Monopoly
