Could someone please relieve this gruff, swarthy antipodean gentleman of his duties !
Easy now mate that bottom three took 4 points off us when we was at full strength.Fucking look at it.
Look at it.
I don't think relegation is a serious concern this season, but look at the state of this. In our last six only the bottom two have worse form than us, and we're even with Leicester. Our saving grace is the bottom three are utterly dismal an are showing no sign of improvement whatsoever.
4 points from 6 games. We've played all of the bottom 4 now, by the way and scooped up 5 points out of 12.
Fucking dismal and shut up about injuries.
ok so my wires crossed so I hold my hands up there, you were calling us all cooked over something else, something to do with Biss being likely to play instead of Dorrington. You were adamant that Dragusin wasn't injured though and there's no crisis.
Or is there?
My head is spinning. The spin machine is in full force.
Exactly. I have no faith things will improve that much. We might turn the odd defeat into a draw or draw into a win, but it’ll still be woeful form. Simple fact is both Romero and VDV weren’t playing well before they were injured. Romero particularly
The quicker we change the manager the quicker we start the long road to recovery. There is no point giving Ange more time. His methods are not effective at this level of football.
The injury situation is his fault. He cannot cry about being unable to rotate when he has young players on the bench that he said he was happy to have in his first team. He cannot cry about Destiny’s injury when he has had Spence and Reguilon available all season. He cannot complain about the intensity of the fixture schedule when his training sessions are crocking players as soon as they return from injury.

Oh not a lie, really?
Go and find the quote and the conversation then, this will be fun.
No. He actually says his training causes the issues and injuries but the players will get used to it in the second season. Based on this season he was completely wrong, the players haven’t got used to it. If the useless fraud says what the cause is, but that things will improve and they don’t, it’s clear where the issue is. He’s a chancer who is out of his depth so yes I do think Ange is heavily responsible for all the issues we are seeing. Do you honestly trust him to know what he’s doing regarding training and fitness based on the rest of his management at Spurs?
He’s managed the squad appallingly. He is a complete amateur
I've already held my hands up, "bro". Unlike some on here I don't shy away from my mistakes.
But the central point remains, we have Ange fans telling us to be calm because Dragusin is fine, and we shouldn't be concerned about having no CBs and we have Ange fans telling us Dragusin is actually playing injured we in fact have no CBs.
Brudda cooking this morningYesterdayShadydan was telling us we were a "cooked fanbase" (or whatever teen lingo he's speaking this week) because we were concerned that Dragusin was injured and it's all fine.
Today we're being told that we in fact have no defenders and Dragusin is playing injured.
Which is it?

He was poor in 2nd half of last season too.
The system doesn't suit him - the high press with overload means he's mostly facing defenders able to double up on him with little risk. He usually tries to take them on, resulting in the ball turning over to the opposition who get a 3 v 3 or 4 v 4 break opportunity with 2/3 of the pitch to play into. We've seen it time and time again when the opposition targets him as the weakest link in terms of conceding possession and I assume we'll see it again next week vs Newcastle.
On top of that he's clearly lost some of his afterburner pace. 3-4 years ago Son was still faster with the ball at his feet than most defenders without the ball. That is definitely no longer the case.
Sorry I don't see where you've done this...?
Liverpool's drop off wasn't just down to injuries IMO, they were at the end of a cycle, you act like their drop off only happened because of issues with their defence but they also had huge problems scoring goals, going from 89 and 85 scored the 2 seasons prior to 68. We are on pace to comfortably outscore that Klopp side, to act like all their issues that season stemmed from defensive injuries is very reductive, they were coming down from the high of winning the CL and PL back to back, what fucking high are we coming down from? Ange's hat trick of MOTM awards?
I still blame conte for our poor performances in 2024When Son was horrendous under Conte, everyone blamed Conte.
Now Son is even worse under Flange, everyone is blaming Son.
I'm not saying it's a hypocrisy, but
He's stifling the players from afar
Just another problem that Big Ange has to bravely fight against
Then you're not looking hard enough. The bit where I say "I put my hands up I got my wires crossed". I've said it again.
