The fact that this is true


Is the reason this isn't true.


This is not a discussion of the grand cosmic value of the Carabao Cup in a vacuum. This is the specific matter of the trophy drought that is tearing this club to pieces being broken after running through City, United, Liverpool and Newcastle on the trot.

That would be an extraordinary accomplishment to live long in the proud history of this great club, and Andoni Iraola would have to be clinically insane to take a job that would sack a manager having accomplished it within Daniel Levy's straightjacket.

It's written on the fucking wall, mate

Yeah I get it mate, the Postecoglites are nuts. I didn’t need ANOTHER reminder.
 
Biggest game of the season so far for Ange today in my opinion.

Win and we're 11 clear of the relegation zone, and Levy will let him see the season out.

Lose and he's gone tonight.

Draw and I honestly don't know. He maybe just survives. Gets the Pool game and that could be it.

Whether it’s good enough to justify another season of Angeball is again another argument.

we’ve still got at least 21 games to go….poss 30’ish. it’s simply too early to decide on Ange. He’s made some shocking mistakes this season but i do sense he’s learning from them so there’s a world in which he turns this form around and it ends well. If that happens eg we adapt tactics, win games and find form in the PL and win a cup (ideally Europa) , I don’t see him moving on.

Either way, I hope we are brave and make the best decision regardless of a cup win. Changing coach post season shouldn’t be seen as a terrifying, nuclear option. Coaches quickly get fatigued with the club and Levy so making a change could be in everyone’s interests (including Ange)

I’ll be fuming if we draw but Leicester have to beat us to catch us. A draw isn’t good enough for them. Ditto Ipswich. As long as we win these two games I’m pretty confident that 30 points will keep us up. They won’t make up 10-13 points on us with their remaining fixtures.

Sorry state of affairs, I know. But these fuckers owe us a premier league performance. Beating Leicester gives us the opportunity to rest against Brentford ahead of the second leg against the Dippers. The Premier League is gone, europe next year by league position is gone. Premier league stability then all in on the cups.

We could lose 50 nil today and I still don't think Baldy will get off his arse and do anything

We are stuck with him for the foreseeable, I'm just praying we scrape enough points together to avoid a proper relegation battle

That's not true.

He'll be straight on the engravers to put in a preorder of fake rolexes engraved with "congratulations on staying up" for the squad. Of course if we go down he can still flog them on eBay.

He'll also be preparing a "get your tickets for the relegation dogfight" promo

Unfair to say he won't do anything.

Ok so he has rotated then why does everyone go on about Ange running players into the ground. If they have been rotated then they can’t be all on their last legs.

It's become harder and harder to rotate as players have gotten injured.... Bentancur also got suspended then concussed....injuries have knock on effects.

Training methods? Playing style? I'm sure there is a mix of reasons in there but for the most part I think he rotated when he could.

If a 59 year old with decades of experience in football still has lessons to learn he's not cut out for this level. It's clear as day the experience he's had up to now does not measure up to the job he's taken on and it's in his and everyone's best interests that we part ways, by the end of the season at the very latest.

Why wasn't Reggie & Spence used earlier in the season at least the FBs could have been rotated, they have only been used when the manager was forced to use them (that is bad management)
rotating forwards for youth players can happen when safe in games, BUT we are never safe in games because of how this guy plays SO again its his faut we can't rest players

In terms of rotation, this is the only thing I'll agree with - he should have done a far better job utilising the full backs better.

I'm not sure I totally agree, every day is a school day for everyone. Or at least it should be.

Come on one CF starter missing? Lots of teams will have at least a couple of players missing now and then. Anyways think it was only our 3rd game of the season so barely much time to see he was a big miss. Anyway we still lost.

What do you mean one CF starter missing? We play with 1 striker...he was injured and the backup was injured as well, stop playing stupid.

You're hilarious you said we have gone from having a full team to saying it was only our 3rd game so barely much time to see he was a big miss, what? :confused:

Absolute nonsense
