There are certain elements that hugely frustrating with him (game management, not utilising some players, pious attitude of not laying into refs - resulting in getting done over like today) but ultimately this was always billed as a project and given I’ve not heard a single viable alternative manager that’s being suggested, we should 100% give him the season.

He’s still in the cups and i wouldn’t bet against us still finishing top 7 with him. With the squad he has, what’s our ceiling, 4th based on Chelsea having a shit season, so 5th? So not sure what a new manager would do, even if there was a decent choice out there
 
Not sure i like this idea of hiding behind Ryan Mason coming in as an excuse. The other times he has come in has been the back end of a season, no threat of being bottom half let alone bottom 5 or 6. He might get 1 game or something but that would be it. That twat Levy is just going to have to stump up like he did with Redknapp or it will be Terzic or Potter.
 
Yep we can agree on that
However many unsuccessful managers we appoint (even the really proven successful ones) it comes down to the man that hires and fires. The man who has been hiring and firing for 25 years.
There’s no doubt that Ange is out of his depth with this club. So were Mourinho & Conte for some reason.
The rot starts at the top.
And it’s stayed at the top for decades now.
Before ENIC it was shit but with the odd big name trophy.
 
I’ve tried to be patient with the guy, as I genuinely want it to work out with him. He broke me today though. Just doesn’t seem qualified. No excuses today. All the pundits saying the same thing.

He couldn’t see a 2 - 0 lead out at home. Zero game management. Won’t make subs, won’t sit deep for even 5 minutes to soak up pressure and hit on the counter. Rushing unfit players back only to re injury them. Just stands there on the sidelines looking as confused as ever.

If you had a comparable day in any regular job setting your boss would say, don’t come back into my office. The failed season is down to Levy, but today was on Ange. Sorry mate, Ange out. Don’ t have the faith he can turn it around.
 
Motd summing up ange perfectly and showing what a fraud he is tactically hasn't got a clue what to do. Even sanchos interview he's talking about what they've worked on as they knew what we'd do. He needs to go by tomorrow we might catch some teams like city and united on bad days but any half decent team on their day can turn up execute a plan and take 3 points off of us no problem.
 
He can fuck off with this. Another act of naivety in an immature squad with little gumption or mettle. Maddison, Son, Romero, Biss... a very soft core of leaders managed by a stubborn git and coached by a band of perennial interns.

And most importantly, paid by a bald clown with no serious aspirations for footballing success. Fuck me.
Also totally pointless posting on IG after the game. Show your mettle at the time. Not later. Blimey we have some douchebags in our squad.
