You have turned but it’s nothing like when it went toxic with Conte or Jose, or Nuno. Not even close. Maybe if that Everton game was at home it would have been but if we win vs Leicester you know the stadium will be singing the Ange song like they were in the Liverpool game.

I give Ali Gold stick but this is pretty much the perfect summary of our situation:

More fans are turning but he somehow hasn’t lost the majority yet. The Spurs fans I know irl aren’t Ange Out yet
 
I'm 50/50 on whether getting Ange out right now is the right decision as the brains trust haven't apparently planned a replacement (please prove me wrong).

That a portion of our fanbase genuinely seem to think he's the answer going forward is terrifying.

Amorim has been trying to get his team to play that system for months and he's now calling his team the worst United team in history because they simply won't get it.

I think we can possibly cut Postecoglou some slack for having 48 hours to try out a system forced by losing 3 first team players - on top of all the other injured players - in 72 hours.

At least he seemed open to idea which, as you say, is not a bad one in principle. And might be employed by the caretaker if/when they take over.

Just a point about all our players out…..At Newcastle Bournemouth won 1-4…..they had 10 players out. Speaks volumes about their manager I think. There is talk of McKenna coming……a manager who has experienced nothing but defeat after defeat all season…..not what our players need.

Ah right yeah, guess Emery has been a failure at Villa cos he's not won a trophy. And Howe at Newcastle for the same reason. And Potter and De Zerbi at Brighton. All failures. In fact, seems almost every manager in English football has been a failure over the past 5 years other than Pep and Klopp. Oh, and that huge success, Erik Ten Hag.

FYI, it's sometimes better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

It’s not about winning a trophy at the moment it’s about winning a bloody game.

We have scored the 2nd most goals in the EPL this season. The main issues are not having a decent number 6 or a defense.

Our midfield doesn't cut out transitions; and our defense has low quality and inexperienced players. We actually missed Johnson yesterday, who helps our Porro in defense. Bergvall and Sarr played like you expect you kids to do - running around with lots of enthusiasm, but always getting pulled out of position and losing the ball.

Absolute bollocks. The majority of our goals come in single games where we thrash a crap team, and also, there is zero credit given to a manager for setting up the team to score lots of goals when you get 5 points out of 30, 30 points out of 87, and lose 12 games and sit 15th in mid January.

The best managers find a balance between defence and attack.

Just admit you and Ange are clueless. A title challenge? under Ange? hahahaha never seen bigger bollocks in my life.

Different clubs and different squads have different expectations.

Emery has been a huge success at Villa because they aren’t expected to win.

De Zerbi did ok at Brighton but nothing special imo. More hype than anything else.

Howe needs a trophy now given the resources he has available.

Arteta has failed if he wins nothing this year.

Poch succeeded massively to start but after that squad reached the level it did, winning nothing was a failure.

It’s never black and white like that.
 
If he isn't sacked today I'll be furious.

Just what the fuck are the club doing? Leicester fans want RVN out because he's lost 7 games on the spin.

Ange has basically done that and worse for a lot longer period of time yet apparently our board won't sack him? wtf has this fraud got on Levy? clueless fuckers

We also score a lot of garbage time goals like our 2 goals yesterday. We have also not won a single close game this season.

On the 6 there is 1/2 in the world that can do what you want and 1 is Rodri. To make his tactics work you would need both 6 in the squad to be able to dominate the midfield and control the tempo.

How many games are we gonna keep on saying that. "It'll be the next one then he's gone"

We NEED to beat Leicester. I don't see it happening with that fucking oaf in charge. He couldn't manage an empty diary never mind our club.

I don’t disagree Goat, just saying that I can’t see it happening unless Leicester beat us, which I think is a possible outcome, it’s basically what Vardy lives for.

The club knows that league wise (and let’s be honest cup wise) this season is a write off. While not impossible it would be unlikely to be relegated, but they’d really need to win games against Leicester and Ipswich to safeguard them from it.
I just can’t see them acting on it unless they lose to Leicester. It would force their hand in appointing either a care taker or spend serious money to try and get their first choice replacement. Based on the last few managerial searches this has been as painful as pulling teeth, which also didn’t really paint them in a very favourable light. The board must be aware of this, and while our current predicament is a joke they’ve still got Ange as a scapegoat to absorb the bulk of the heat.
