So he has rotated so players have not played every minute of every game.
Yes he has. Its only in the last 2 months because we're down to a squad size of 13/14 players, where he has had to start playing the likes of Solanke/Gray/Dragusin every single minute of every game as there is literally no senior back up.

He was rotating everyone before that. Romero and VDV didn't start every Europa league and cup game. Go look it up. Everyone was getting a rest here and there before the injuries! Look it up please
 
remember when there were people concerned that Liverpool would poach "Big Ange" ? : ostrich:
That was after his/our amazing opening 10 games at the start of last season...

Which got me thinking... the SPL only has 12 teams (so basically 11 other opponents, and if them only 2, 3 at most serious opponents)

Reckon there's any chance that Ange's system was only EVER good for 10 or so games because he's never had to face 19 different teams before!???
 
Ange in press conf about mo salah:
“His attacking play, who do you need? You need a team that's kind of in good form, creating opportunities, playing on the front foot, having a really solid foundation of a defence that is cohesive. None of these things exist at the moment."
Couldn’t really make it up!
the fool genuinely believes that its down to bad luck too looool.
 
Hence our goal production is second only to LivLiverpool
But different though as they've spread out their goals fairly evenly over their 19 league games.
Just goals scored..
2, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, , 6, 3, 5
Bold being us and Southampton.

2 games where they got 1 or less.
2 games they got 4 or more.


We on the other hand smash a selection of teams and then struggle to score.

1, 4, 1, 0, 3, 3, 2, 4, 0, 4, 1, 4, 1, 0, 3, 5, 3, 0, 2, 1

9 games where we got 1 goal or less.
5 games we got 4 or more.
Interesting stats:

We haven't won a game 1-0 when we got 1 goal.
Drawn 2 of them 1-1 and lost 3 of them 1-0

We haven't drawn a game 0-0 and, as a result, have lost all 4 games we failed to score in 1-0
 
He really is the master of excuses. Acting like he isn't the reason we are in this predicament.

I am genuinely worried how many we may concede tonight. If it's Liverpool's second team, anything but a win would be totally unacceptable but regardless, he needs a win even if it's Liverpool's strongest team.

It's sad because under a competent manager I would fancy we could even get something out of the NLD with the way Woolwich are playing at the moment. And certainly get a win at Everton. Under Ange I expect we will lose both.

The board and Levy are making a complete fuck up by keeping him. West Ham and United have both sacked their managers for what are essentially the same results. But for Spurs, apparently this is good enough. It's absolute bollocks.

My main concern is now that we may actually go into a third season with the guy at the helm. Because if he survives until the summer, I actually think he will blag it and convince the club to go again with him, and we will waste yet another season with this clown. I seriously cannot have a third season under this fraud, this season has been woeful enough.
 
Not true in the slightest.

Odobert, Moore and Richy have been missing for months. That's nearly half our front line rotation

Re-read my post. MF AND attack.

I don't regard Odobert (unproven, played a few games), and Moore (played a few games, unproven) and Richie as constituting "excessive" injuries to MF and attack. Looks like a pretty normal load of injuries to me.

As per my post, across MF and attack, we've have very few injuries to:

Solanke
Werner
Son
Johnson
Sarr
Maddison
Kulusevski
Bissouma
Bentancur
Bergvall
Lankshear

So despite your post - that was evidently based on a mis-reading of my post - I repeat ... we have not had an excessive (i.e. abnormal in this context) load of injuries across MF and attack.

Our record at the emirates is appalling. Almost as bad as Stamford bridge. 1 win there in the league since they moved there. 2006. Almost 20 years!!
Doesn’t matter who the manager is we just don’t turn get over the line there.

But we managed to get a draw there last season under Ange. So there is some hope!!

Problem is we know they won’t play to our strengths.
