There's a universe where the Mourinho-Tottenham hold on against Liverpool, too; or the Akanji foul on Vic is given or Son doesn't give away a penalty when he's asked to play LB...we can't just blame the injuries - AP's tactics have not helped one bit. Richie fair enough, but the others...no, they've not been helped by having to complete so many sprints (and long sprints if your LB /RB/LW/RW) or VdV having to cover the defensively invisible MF and a wandering-Romero.
Tbf, I was just semi-quoting Redknapp. I should have said: 'play with a bit more structure and composure - possibly also some in-game management'.
Negligence is reason enough for me to want him out.
We need to feed them some sticky toffee Car, that shit is giving me energy right now. That’s my professional managerial opinion fyi.
I agree with you it’s just ironic Udogie also goes off injured today ! I’ve never known a injury crisis like this , absolute madness
yeh - I've explained the poorly executed Redknapp reference elsewhere.Mate we run around too much.
It’s why all the quads and hamstrings have torn.
(Ooh, we still have the old smilies - been away a while).Yeah, I especially agree with the need for more composure. The system, even when it’s working well, is inherently a little chaotic, so it requires consistent mental composure from the players.
Yeah, he really mugged everyone off didn’t he?
.Perhaps initially, and for sure an immediate improvement would be welcomed, but I think the issue I and many others have is that “competent football person” or not, we’re likely going to be sitting around having this very conversation once again in 12/18 months time.
Lightweight.It’s done the opposite for me, I feel heavy and bloated now
are we sure Ange wanted us to drop back and attack less?
Are there any other teams in the league with these many Hammys?
.
Why do you think Ange is causing the injuries ?Well, he’s just getting a head start on taking orders from our future manager, mate—makes sense to start early, right?
But jokes aside, you’re spot on. If he’d shown this kind of pragmatism earlier, we might be sitting here with a few more draws or even a win or two, and the conversation about his future would feel a lot less grim.
That said, it’s all hypothetical—maybe things would’ve gone the exact same way regardless. Hard to say for sure.
What I do know, though, is that we probably wouldn’t be dealing with half the injuries we’ve got right now, which for me is the biggest issue when we are talking about his persistence with his style of play.
That’s why i think we were unlucky. Some of our players were pretty crap, but we had several high chance opportunities that were squandered. Counter attacking in the second was the right approach. Kulu could have just chipped the goalie at one point. I do think it’s a little too late for Postecoglu. Only a win was acceptable even though wolves were overall the slightly better team. Most players look dead on their feet.
