Common sense and proffesionlism tells you at 2 zip up at half time away from home in the toughest league in the world is you take the win not go out and try to win 5 or 6 because your ethos is that off p.t fucking barnum wanting to be the greatest showman....fuckoff .
 
I think he simply wants to see how his big players react to adversity during games, hence why he often delays more than we'd like. What today showed was our big players often go missing when it really matters and we're fighting an uphill battle to get a result.
Has he not see enough of these players already so should he not try and change something instead of just doing next to nothing and then after the game talking about where he thought things went wrong .
 
In response to a journo asking if he could have made subs earlier:

"All these things are totally irrelevant to me, substitutions and all those kind of things.

If you're not competitive, it doesn't matter what you do, you don't deserve to win, we didn't deserve to win based on our second half performance; irrespective of subs or anything else and I think if you do get something out of the game, then you're falsely rewarded and I don't want to get falsely rewarded"


This may be the most idiotic statement I have heard from a football manager in a very long time, if not ever.

So, according to his own words, our second half performance was bad and we didn't deserve to win but making subs are irrelevant and if he did make a sub and we managed to win the game he wouldn't want it because we would have been falsely rewarded for, you know, turning the game around with subs...

It makes no fucking sense at all, why are you even the manager then you clueless moron if not to change the game with the one thing you have control over outside of tactics?

Also, I thought he was a winner? What does it matter if you're "falsely rewarded" if you win a fucking football match?

It's arrogance, ignorance and stupidity, a bumbling cunt with no clue as far as I am concerned.

Did he say that just now?

He really does say the dumbest stuff.
 
Irrespective of Ange and his tactics, we need a centre half in the team who is great at defending in the 6 yard box, we need at least one fullback who is a dependable 1v1 defender and we need a defensive midfielder with great positioning and defensive instincts, who is also secure in possession.

Perhaps that could partially be solved by moving VdV to left back and seeing if Dragusin is any better at defending in our penalty box than the other defenders we play. Udogie needs to be dropped I think. Bentancur and Bissouma...the jury is out whether either of them are good enough for that position.
 
We're going to be fine. The match was a disaster. Ruined my sunday, especially after that excellent first half. But through a season almost every team has games like this. Liverpool lost to Notthingham Forest at home. We will still finish around 4th place.

Fuckin 'ell....Just read that statement.

I'm lost for words!

That’s just not how it happens. You don’t get an option to take a free win.

We conceded in 2 minutes because of a crap defensive mistake that had nothing to do with play style.

Sitting back and defending wouldn’t magically create a win. We would have still had to earn it.

to be fair what would you expect someone to say when they know they are out of their depth? he doesnt know how to gain momentum back once the other team has changed, its all to fast for him. so the best way to deny that hes actually out of his depth is to say that he doesnt value subs....the ego on this guy is immense for someone thats won stuff as prestigious as a pub quiz.

What makes me laugh is that he says "If you're not competitive, you don't deserve to win"

Ok, so, if the players on the pitch aren't competitive, I wonder what the fix for that could be...

That's right Ange...you're nearly there...

They're sat on a bench right behind you...

People that could make the team more competitive if you...c'mon just think reaaaaaallly hard now...


Ange : "Subs are irrelevant"

I wouldn't read into that too much. Remember the uproar about him saying he isnt worrying about set pieces last season, and everyone lost there minds about how dumb it was that he doesn't work on them?.

Well it obviously wasn't true as we've blatantly worked hard on it and we've been one of the best in the league defending set plays this season

He seems to have a thing when we loose and has talk to the press. He goes very defensive and won't admit to them something is wrong when they specifically bring up the thing that's wrong .
I'm pretty sure he knows in hindsight that a midfield change earlier would've been better

That's a sack-worthy statement TBH.

One could go many ways with this:
- So, what is his job during the match? Why not send them and stay home?
- Why did he then make his weird subs? What is a 17-yo going to do in 5 minutes?
- Is his goal to WIN matches, or decide if we deserve to win or not?
- So, if we play like YKW against Real Madrid, and we win by an own goal, is he going to forfeit the win?
- and more....

Amazing. But at the end, when one is on the wrong and know he is wrong, the more they talk the worse it gets.

:cool:
