From wiki. Yokohama. "Although the team finished with the second highest number of goals scored in the season, they also conceded the third most goals of any club during the season."

He can't defend. But you will be entertained.

A neutral fan will be entertained. Especially when they tune in to some of the hapless turnovers and amateur defensive transitions we dish out on the regular.

"Angeball" is far too kitchen-sink for me. And I'm not convinced we'd win anything under Ange even with significant and considered investment in the first team and squad, because any half-decent side can play straight through us. Give me a solid defensive foundation and adaptive game management over "we score more than you".

I do think you need to consider that the Tactics only get questioned after a bad result. Nobody called Klopp Childish for his tactics, and that also involved a very high press. I think if you put Ange in charge of this Liverpool side you'd get a very exciting Team.

Irrelevant.

Ange isn't in charge of Liverpool, he's in charge of Spurs. This is the Premier league, dog eat dog, adapt or die.

Spot on. Its entertaining for neutrals, i dont give a shit about them. I wasnt entertained throwing away 2 goal leads to Brighton and Chelsea, i wasnt entertained almost blowing a 3 goal lead to a dreadful Utd side and i wasnt entertained getting humilated today. This football is entertaining in the same way watching kids football is entertaining.

I Would enjoy angeball if I had no allegiance to a team, its entertaining fayre, won't win anything but a great watch as game is open.
But for your own team it's a disaster zone, tactically flawed, so cavalier bordering on insane.
The fantasy football has to come to an end now.

We are already going backwards ffs. How can you write this tripe with a straight face? Stop mentioning injuries! We have been this shite with our full team playing. Injuries is just another excuse for the deluded and stupid. Remember how shite we were even with VDV and Romero playing?

Do you think Udogie playing stops our mistakes? He was making loads of them, remember Brighton?

The injury point isn't about just having the 'better ' players back though - although it is bound to help in some areas.

It's more about being able to rotate.

We're playing two games a week with the exact same players. It's bound to catch up with them at some point.

We won’t lose that game. We’ll smash them 0-7 and the happy fellas will say how impressive we were and we’ll be reminded we’re only x points behind 4th and we have the best attack in the league, so it must mean something, we just need to give him another 18 months.

Whereas in your mind we sack Ange, get a replacement who will smash them 0-7 and you will say how impressive we were and we’ll be reminded we’re only x points behind 4th and we have the best attack in the league, so it must mean something, we just need to give the new guy 18 months.

So this is just all down to the fatigue catching up with the players is it? The decline from top 6 team to bottom half since Ange arrived and since those first 10 games, is not relevant at all?

Do you honestly think our situation is just down to lack of rotation and fatigue? Can you not see the utter dissaray we are in tactically and structure wise for nearly two seasons now? Just what are you seeing to just claim it's playing two games a week. You know that is simply not true, it is an excuse. So my question to you is why are you hiding behind such an inaccurate and outright lie as an excuse?

20 losses in 40 odd games has very little to do with two games a week. we were this bad playing once a week last season.
 
Absolutely no sign of the crowd turning on the manager in the South - that might change on the 29th mind you.

Getting a bit pissed off with him saying what were trying to achieve at football club. Its like we have to be patient with his deluded megaplan. 11th is shit. Carabao semi is his saving grace. Ive had enough of him. Its too up and down. Want consistency and tbh his high intensity is burning players out. Thats why we have a massive injury pile up.

We weren't this bad cos I can't remember us conceding 6 so if you're gonna go all in then use the facts better.

I think our current situation is heavily affected by lack of rotation and fatigue. We also need a better squad.
