My problem with the match yesterday is it was obvious we would need some technicians like Kulusevski and a Bergvall too break them down but he insisted with Johnson and Sarr. If it wasn’t obvious from the start then it was damn clear at halftime those were the switches needed too be made yet he insisted with the latter for 75+ minutes.


The devil is in the details and those kinds of mistakes will get you punished at this level. He needs too be better as well as the players on the pitch. There will be games for Johnson and Sarr - against sides where we won’t have as much of the ball- and there will be games for Kulusevski and Bergvall - against sides where we’ll dominate.

Ange is 50+ been a manager 15+ yrs if he doesn't know now what changes needed or how to change way team plays he will never know
even top managers took a couple of years to understand how they could use 5 subs (still playing as if was 3 subs)
this is top level football not pub leagues, look what the championship players/managers say " in Championship you get away with mistakes, in EPL they are punished"
Ange can get away with his style at Celtic (big fish little pond) or in backwater football BUT not in this league
we are in for an other few years of wasted times & wasted money on HIS players, before Levy moves to the next manager

Sacking another manager would set the club back even further.
I admit, I am finding it frustrating that the same shit is still happening and nothing appears to have changed.

The issue at HT wasn't that we couldn't break them down, we could.

The issue was finishing our chances.

It's difficult isn't it mate.
We all know where the real problem lies. But if we have a manager who exacerbates the problem then what the fuck do you do? Or hope for?
Wait for yet another season to potentially be written off but Christmas?
Tough one.
 
So neggy in here for some of you,
1 game into the season.

Need to give yourself a lil holiday in the sun and find some happiness.

Plenty to be positive about, shit result. The first 45mins was 10-1 shot count, 9-0 corner count.

Bring on Everton, a little bit sharper and get this season going.
 
leading up to the vardy chance, the spurs players look lethargic. serious lack of intensity in the press and they do some basic knockabout and have a one on one...he waited another 10 mins after this to get fresh legs on and a spike in intensity.

subs should of been brought on in the early 60s. he always leaves subs late.
We were getting battered for a good while till he made out first sub at 78 minutes.

I mean surely if you're being outplayed for prolonged periods in the second half you could try to do something proactive to counter that.
 
Perfectly reasonable to be very concerned at potential to continue in this direction.

If we have 13 points after 12 games at the start of this season, there's going to be serious questions.

The bad 29 games were heavily masked by our fantastic start last year so it didn't feel as catastrophic, but if this season starts as last season ended then we'll be up shit creek.
 
Watching the game it felt like Cooper noticed that and in the second half instructed them to force the play down our right hand side.

I don’t think it affected us until the first goal but that’s probably because we were playing one of the worst teams in the league.

I’m expecting other teams to do the same now.
Ur basing ur belief that they are the worst team in the league on what? They have Vardy, they will stay up IMO. Cooper is a good coach, not saying they are awsome, but I don’t think they are shite is a bit strong, but yeah we should have won the game easily.

Ffs we were not getting battered at all in the first half, hyperbolic bullshit. Il sure a lot of posters on here don’t watch the games, they jump on the wanker train.
