Despite the common complaint that it is Romero and VdV's absences that broke the camel's back, it's actually the significant drop in goals, compared to how things usually are under Ange, that primarily caused this collapse. After that Soton win we scored;

-1 against Liverpool, from a giveaway in a very dangerous area, until the match was entirely out of reach (1-5, 72nd minute).
-Nil against Forest
-2 against Wolves, even though we didn't create much in that match either
-1 against Newcastle
-1 against Woolwich
-Nil against Everton until, again, the match was entirely out of reach (3-0, 77th minute)
-1 today

We weren't keeping clean sheets even with Romero and VdV, so unless you are willing to argue that these two would have increased our attacking output significantly in terms of chance creation and goals scored, then I don't think they would have been of much help.

Goals have dried up, it seems that simple to me. Whether that's a blip on the radar, or sign of an irreversible trend that'll continue as long as Ange stays, is up for debate. But either way, don't expect a sudden turnaround when the aforementioned two return.

The thing about the way we play though requires ball playing centre backs , I get Romero made mistakes but he was so important for building from the back.
Don’t get me wrong it’s bigger than missing them 2 but for Anges system to work Romero and VDV are key.
 
Don't think levy has any intention of sacking him even still.

Gonna be a rough couple weeks with Brentford, Liverpool and villa next after elfsborg. 3 defeats unless there's so monstrous transfer activity

I’ve been on the “let him play out the season, we’re still in 3 cups” bandwagon until today.

This was a tipping point for me, even if just for a spark he needs to go. There’s no future.

I’d even be ok with Mason for now.

To be fair, our previous managers had a rather special goal machine that got them out of many a lousy situation. It would be disingenuous to suggest Ange wouldn't be in a better position if he had Kane. That man papered over chronic under investment in the playing side for far too many years. If Levy had realise how much so he would have asked for double.

Eh, this isn't a 15th/16th place squad. Even without injuries, we'd be mid table at best.

ENIC's fault we're not competing for trophies, but the reason we're so shit is completely down to Ange. Worse than we've ever been under ENIC.
